VIBGUARD compact offers six measuring channels for continuous monitoring. It is perfectly suited for fast and highly dynamic equipment. In particular, the VIBGUARD compact meets the requirements of critical assets that are characterized by high availability, high aggregate values, complex drives and changing operating conditions.
Whether pre-installed in an IP65 compact housing or as a switch cabinet system module, the VIBGUARD compact is perfect for diagnostic condition monitoring of individual extruders, large fans, multiphase or vacuum pumps, turbocompressors, mill stands, or centrifuges.
All six measuring channels are designed as highly dynamic analog input channels and can be equipped with either standard ICP vibration sensors or with voltage input signals for process variables. They provide in depth diagnostic data such as time signals or envelope signals, and up to 6 characteristic values such as vibration characteristic or bearing condition.
The ‘Intelligent Event Recorder’ stores relevant results, fully automatically and continuously, providing the basis for comprehensive machine diagnostics. Its MQTT protocol enables the seamless integration to any IIoT manufacturing environment with highly secure data transfer

A unique handheld measuring device with which even untrained personnel can easily and effectively measure machine vibration on rotating machinery. Thanks to its forward-looking measuring principle and data acquisition across three axes with the triaxial sensor, all relevant condition information is recorded with the touch of a single button. And at a measurement speed that opens up fully new dimensions. Not only is the VIBSCANNER 2 a breakthrough in terms of measurement speed and precision, but also through its robustness and its intuitive operating concept.

Depending on the filter settings, it measures overall values, spectra, and time signals synchronously in 3 axes. In combination with a triaxial sensor, VIBSCANNER 2 collects even more machine condition data per measurement location.
• Added value thanks to additional vibration data without affecting the measurement time
• Quick data acquisition thanks to synchronous measurement in 3 axes
• Clear channel assignment without any additional cable adapter
A triaxial sensor measures vibration in 3 perpendicular directions at once, while a single-axis sensoronly measures in one direction at a time. Certain conditions such as cocked bearing or a bent shaft can be identified in a single measurement with a triaxial sensor.
The bottom line: In combination with a triaxial sensor, VIBSCANNER 2 delivers even more comprehensive information per measurement location at the push of a button. This creates an overall image of the machine‘s health without affecting the measuring time.

Precision laser alignment made easy
The rugged Fluke 831 has an intuitive guided user interface that enables quick and complete shaft alignment without advanced training or complicated programs. And while it’s easy to use, laser alignment with the Fluke 831 is powerful enough for the skilled technician. You can cover more of your machines with all the functionality needed on the plant floor, from thermal growth to user defined tolerances and more.

Reduce costs by avoiding downtime
Misalignment causes at least half of all damage to rotating machinery, studies show. Instead of fixing the problem, teams often just treat the symptoms of misalignment and replace bearings, couplings, and seals because they think alignment takes too long.
Contrary to expectations, laser alignment can be fast and easy. So, every machine that is repaired and overhauled should be aligned – not just a few. Teams that embrace laser alignment can save thousands of dollars per year by avoiding downtime and energy waste and reducing the number of bearings and seals they have to replace.

Key features
• Fast, easy, and precise alignment that adapts to your needs.
• Rugged build and the highest-in-class IP rating.
• Single-laser technology for the fastest, most accurate laser alignment.
• Cloud connection enables real-time collaboration.
• Use up to 8 measurement points to achieve precision alignment on vertical machines.

The new VibScanner 2 Ex is a next-generation, explosion protection system for quickly detecting machine vibration in hazardous work environments. Measuring simultaneously on three axes, the VibScanner 2 Ex sets the benchmark for fast and accurate measurements of machine, gear, and bearing issues.
This is the ultimate tool for fast and accurate machine vibration measurements. The VibScanner 2 Ex heightens efficiency and data quality. In just a quarter of the time of a standard data-collector, it precisely measures available data in three axes. Equipped with a triaxial sensor, it requires only one measurement point and the click of a button to begin collecting machine data.
This device is ideal for route-based maintenance jobs in environments where explosion protection standards are required. Its rugged magnetic foot of the triaxial sensor fits perfectly on the housing of any motor, pump, fan, or other rotating device, detecting vibration right near the source.
The VibScanner 2 Ex will diminish worries about finding the right measurement points at the machine. Because it features a Prüftechnik triaxial sensor, just one measurement point is required instead of three separate ones. This saves considerable time without sacrificing data quality. The “Triax-Effect” enables users to obtain measurements up to four times faster than the industry standard while achieving new levels of data quality.
