A device for monitoring healthy status of machinery mounts is provided, which may include a plurality of vibration detectors, a signal acquisition device and a signal processor. The vibration detectors may detect the vibration signals from of a machine device, where the machine device may include a plurality of machinery mounts. The signal acquisition device may receive the vibration signals of the vibration detectors. The signal processor may execute a modal frequency analysis process to analyze the vibration signals of the vibration detectors, and calculate a vibration mode corresponding to the natural frequency of the machinery mounts in current status to serve as the test mode; then, the signal processor may compare the test mode with a reference mode to determine the healthy status of the machinery mounts, where the reference mode is corresponding to the natural frequency of the machinery mounts in the optimized status.

A method for determining locations of supporting points for a machine tool is proposed. Multiple test coordinate sets in relation to the machine tool are used in cooperation with corresponding deformation index values for multiple components of the machine tool to obtain a deformation index equation that relates to assessed deformation of the components in response to different coordinates for the supporting points. The deformation index equation is used to acquire an optimal coordinate set for the supporting points.
