Method for diagnosing life of manufacturing equipment using rotary machine
First Claim
1. A method for diagnosing life of manufacturing equipment having a rotary machine, comprising:
- measuring reference time series data representing characteristics in a state before deterioration of the manufacturing equipment occurs;
finding a reference auto covariance function based on the reference time series data;
extracting a reference variation caused by variations of the process condition and power supply from the reference auto covariance function, and calculating a cycle of the reference variation;
measuring diagnostic time series data representing the characteristics in a sequence to be measured of the manufacturing equipment;
finding a diagnostic auto covariance function based on the diagnostic time series data; and
determining the life of the manufacturing equipment from the diagnostic auto covariance function using a component with a cycle shorter than a cycle of the reference variation.
