PRÜFTECHNIK adds new features to VIBCONNECT RF

A new firmware update elevates PRÜFTECHNIK’s wireless online condition monitoring system VIBCONNECT RF to a higher plane. With its wireless technology, VIBCONNECT RF is the perfect fit for applications, which require the wireless transfer of vibration measurement data over long distances.

Aligning vertical-mounted machines such as pumps no longer demands a great deal of patience and expertise. PRUFTECHNIK has just released vertiSWEEP, a continuous measurement method that eliminates the need to stop the shaft rotation at fixed positions to take the necessary readings.

The art of measuring low-frequency vibrations

Rotor blades in wind turbines are growing longer – but also slower.

Multimegawatt wind turbines turn even more slowly. This means that reproducible low-frequency vibration monitoring will gain in importance not only for the main rotor but also for the slow-operating gearbox components and roller bearings. Reliably measuring low frequencies, however, can be rather tricky.

AMETEK Land, a leader in non-contact temperature measurement, combustion efficiency and environmental emissions monitoring, has launched the latest update to its Cyclops™ family of portable, high-precision, non-contact thermometers – the Cyclops L.

With its internal data logging capabilities, configurable route modes and dedicated software, the Cyclops L further establishes AMETEK Land as the industry leader in high-quality, portable non-contact temperature measurement.

Arc is a range of general purpose thermal imaging cameras which are rugged enough to withstand heavy industrial applications, while compact enough for use in R&D and Automation. Arc is a high resolution radiometric thermal imager providing detailed thermal images with outstanding temperature accuracy.

Arc is available with two temperature ranges (-20 to 500°C and 100 to 1000°C), four lenses, two frame rates and three software variants to meet exact user requirements.

VIBGUARD® XP with 20 synchronous channels

At the WINDENERGY tradeshow in Hamburg PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring presents VIBGUARD® XP, a new version of the proven Online Condition Monitoring system VIBGUARD® which is especially suited for the wind industry. VIBGUARD® XP fits perfectly

Visitors of the Maintain in Munich early June can rejoice.  PRÜFTECHNIK will be showing RS5, the new sensor for its proven measurement system OPTALIGN Smart RS.
