Abstract: Combining with virtual instrument technology and health diagnosis technology of hoister,a method of health diagnosis for mine hoister based on LabVIEW was researched.The method uses LabVIEW to achieve data acquisition and storage of measured points with greater vibration severity of hoister,and can make time domain analysis and amplitude spectrum analysis of the signal,so as to achieve health diagnosis for hoister.Applicability and high effectiveness of the method is verified by the specific application test.
