Condition monitoring
Simple solutions
• VIBTransmitter – single-channel vibration
monitoring and protection
• VIBDAQ – from 2 up to 16 channel data
acquisition
• Signal conditioners – from 1 to 16 channels
VIBTransmitter - single-channel
monitoring and protection
• RMS or PEAK measurement
• Detection of elevated vibration
due to damaged bearings, gears,
unbalance, misalignment, loose
foundation, fractured pistons,
shafts. Etc.
• Protection through relay outputs
• 4-20 mA output to SCADA/DCS
Special designs for:
• Reciprocating compressors
(measurement in angular
intervals)
• Proximity probes
VIBex CMS
• Online condition monitoring
system for rotating machinery
• Use of cutting-edge science:
advanced signal processing,
intelligent algorithms
