Abstract

This study presents a method for predicting stepper motor failures in modern automation systems by collecting data from five types of sensors: current, voltage, torque, temperature, and vibration, along with timestamp records and motion error measurements over a three-month period. The study compares the performance of three machine learning algorithms: Gradient Boosted Trees, Deep Learning, and Extreme Gradient Boosting. The results indicate that Gradient Boosted Trees achieves the highest accuracy at 91.17% and can predict a 90% probability of failure within 5 to 6 months. Feature importance analysis reveals that temporal factors and vibration have the most significant impact on motor degradation, accounting for 55.32% and 28.35%, respectively. These findings can be applied to predictive maintenance planning to minimize unplanned production line downtime and enhance overall production efficiency.
