description This work presents a theoretical and experimental study regarding defect detection in a robotic gearbox using vibration signals in both cyclostationary and noncyclostationary conditions. The existing work focuses on inferring the health of the robot during operation with little regard toward the defective element of the components. This article illustrates the detection of specific element damage of a robotic gearbox during a robotic cycle based on domain knowledge and presents a novel data-driven method for asset health. This starts by studying the robotic gearbox, specifically its kinematics as a planetary 2-stage reduction gearbox to acquire the knowledge of the rotations of each component. The signals acquired from a test bench with four sensors undergo different acquisition methods and signal processing techniques to correlate the elements’ frequencies. The work shows the detection of the artificially created defects from the acquired vibration data, verifying the kinematic methodology and identifying the root cause of failure of such gearboxes. A novel resampling method, Binning, is presented and compared with the traditional signal processing techniques. Binning combined with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as a data-driven method to infer the state of the gearbox is presented, tested, and validated. This work presents methods as a step toward automatized predictive maintenance on robots in industrial applications.
