In this paper was described implementation of a wireless remote equipment monitoring system, for realtime machine tool health condition monitoring in a limited area using wireless CDMA modem. The proposed system consists of two CDMA modem for wireless transmission and wireless reception. A hole sensor was used for measuring lathe motor current. A thermal sensor was used for measuring cutting temperature. In addition, the control unit and GPS sensor and the central monitoring PC was used for remote monitoring. The control unit is able to detect motor current value and temperature by embedded A/D converter module and transmits these values to the central monitoring PC. The system can be used for long-time continuous monitoring of machine tool with the cutting state to change. Also this system can be used for remote condition monitoring of automatic production equipment. A user-friendly graphical display was developed to display current and temperature coming from the monitored lathe.
