A Tool for Working Condition and Nozzles Classification for Water Jet Systems

In this paper, a technique for assessing both working and healthy condition of water jet system nozzles is presented. The proposed classifier is based on the DFT of the electrical power signal. At this aim it will be shown that the electrical power signal support all necessary information to characterize the working condition of the system and to predict the presence of an incoming faulty behavior. For the sake of clearness, a brief description of a water system is also presented.
