Diagnostic tool added to condition monitoring portfolio
SKF has extended its range of data collection devices with a new model that it says offers faster measurement collection and greater diagnostic power.
The new SKF Microlog Analyzer dBX tool can be used as a standalone troubleshooting tool or as part of a comprehensive predictive maintenance program, says SKF director services and technologies EMEA Janne Westerlund.
The portable solution coupled with analytic software is said to improve the scheduling of maintenance of rotating machines, with embedded features helping to establish the most correct and fastest diagnostic. When used as part of a condition monitoring solution, the SKF Microlog Analyzer dBX is designed to detect issues with rotating machinery quickly and accurately.
“Our new SKF Microlog Analyzer dBX takes measurement with our MPA-in-a-flash method, which makes the device extremely powerful,” says SKF project manager Christophe Andre. “Multi-Point Acquisition (MPA) is our fastest vibration analysis method. It is typically three times faster than the previous Microlog series, saving you time taking measurements and helping to collect data more efficiently.”
The device allows the user to carry out a range of tasks including impact tests, digital recording, modal analysis, multi-plane balancing and cross channel phase. It can be applied in various industries including pulp and paper, food and beverage, renewable energy, mining, off-highway, metals, automation and marine.
The tool is compatible with SKF’s existing Microlog CMXA series and includes new technology such as a high-resolution 10.1” screen that can display up to six measurement windows simultaneously, and an embedded camera. It also features a hybrid touch and keypad control as well as simplified navigation, for ease of use.
