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.

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.

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

VIBGUARD IIoT offers a choice of 12, 16 or 20 measuring channels which are sampled in parallel and synchronously. This allows even the most complex equipment to be continuously monitored and protected against unplanned shutdowns.
VIBGUARD IIoT works autonomously and performs the measurement tasks automatically. The measurement data such as time signal, characteristic value, FFT spectrum, kinetic wave path (orbits), or torque are processed in parallel and almost in real time and can be correlated with the running production process. The fast data processing makes VIBGUARD IIoT the perfect monitoring and diagnostic system for systems with short operating cycles, such as cranes, machine tools, presses, or for machines with highly dynamic processes, such as test benches, wind turbines or chain conveyors. All critical fans and pumps can also be monitored easily but effectively with VIBGUARD IIoT.
VIBGUARD IIoT measures time signals, overall values, FFT spectra, shock pulse, orbits and much more on either 12, 16 or 20 parallel channels for almost all kind of signal inputs. Vibration, Tacho Pulse, temperature and any other relevant diagnostic inputs like torque are processed and can be correlated to the actual manufacturing process.
Measurements are integrated seamlessly to process control systems via a MQTT interface. Intelligent data management tools allow for efficient data reduction.
Advanced alarm handling tools like variable frequency band alarms and frequency band trending are available for monitoring specific machine failures like unbalance, misalignment, gear mesh and bearing failures.
VIBGUARD IIoT can easily be connected to the buffered outputs of real time protection systems in order to perform in-depth analysis and monitoring of turbomachinery
