Arduino-Based Triaxial Accelerometer System for Acquiring Vibration Acceleration
摘要
Workers in the aerospace manufacturing industry use handheld powered tools in their work processes, exposing themselves to vibration transmitted from the tools, known as hand-arm vibration. Regular and frequent exposure to this occupational hazard can negatively impact workers’ health and well-being. Therefore, this study aims to address this concern through the development of an Arduino-based triaxial accelerometer system to acquire vibration acceleration. The study involved three phases: designing a schematic diagram, developing the circuit, and conducting an experimental task. The developed Arduino-based triaxial accelerometer system effectively captured and recorded the vibration levels. The vibration levels measured by the Arduino-based system ranged from 0.69 m/s2 to 1.21 m/s2, while those measured using the accelerometer ranged from 0.87 m/s2 to 1.51 m/s2, respectively. The experimental task was conducted at different task times, and the analysis performed shows a relationship between vibration levels and task times. Thus, the study validates the effectiveness of the Arduino-based system as a low-cost option for real-time vibration monitoring, emphasizing the need for such monitoring to prevent hand-arm vibration syndrome.
