Using Oscope to compare points on vibratory part feed?

Using Oscope to compare points on vibratory part feed?

Using Oscope to compare points on vibratory part feed?

(OP)
I've got a 85" long 6 lane vibratory part feeding track. Parts are sticking at random places. Any recommendations on moveable transducers or accelerometers I can use with an Oscope (looking at 4 channel scopes) to look at the vibration?

I haven't purchased the Oscope yet, any better ideas of real time comparison of points?

RE: Using Oscope to compare points on vibratory part feed?

I'd first study it with a stroboscope and a video recorder with some magnification.

Attaching accelerometers temporarily is difficult, gives you limited data, and their mass has to affect the dynamics of the track.  If you're looking for nodes, you can find them with a stick.

I was wondering how can you find nodes with a stick?

RE: Using Oscope to compare points on vibratory part feed?

I use a screwdriver. If it buzzes, it ain't a node.
