Abstract: Now days, vibration is drawing much more concern in almost all industry. Vibration possesses existence in every machine. Due to this vibration the efficiency of operation decreases further it creates very much noisy environment. It causes wearing and tearing of material in components, so it is necessary to prevent vibration in the system. The use of piezoelectric materials to capitalize on the ambient vibrations surrounding a system is one method that has seen a dramatic rise in use for condition monitoring. Piezoelectric materials have a crystalline structure that provides them with the ability to transform mechanical strain energy into voltage charge. Our efforts are for utilizing this effect in Lathe machine for monitoring condition of machine. And also monitor the condition of the machine to increase the quality of the product hence we can compete in the today’s competitive market
