UTILIZATION OF LABVIEW PROGRAM FOR ACQUIRING AND PROCESSING THE VIBRATIONS OF AN OSCILLATING CONE-SHAPED SIEVE WITH VERTICAL AXLE USED FOR CLEANING THE AGRICULTURAL CROPS SEEDS.

There were performed experimental researches on vibration of a conical sieve with vertical axle equiangularly suspended by three thin elastic cables both at upper and lower part. The sieve driving was made by a driving mechanism with oscillating slide way through a connecting arm rigidly fixed at conical sieve edge and spherically articulated at the mechanism rod. The paper presents the components of acquisition program and describes the vibrations parameters for several geometrical and functional variants of driving mechanism. Results presented and utilization method of LabView program can be a model for the researchers studying vibrations of equipment working surfaces from agriculture and food industry.
