Maintenance News PRÜFTECHNIK introduces the next generation of FFT data collector and signal analyzer The new VIBXPERT II features a high degree of ergonomics and speed. A VGA color screen with over 200,000 colors has been employed to create an even clearer graphics-based user interface with excellent user guidance. The ergonomically shaped housing makes the device particularly comfortable to use. As a data collector, VIBXPERT II achieves considerably lower measurement times through the use of the latest processor technology and by optimizing internal measurement processes. Numerous evaluation functions and practical measurement templates ease detailed analyses of complex machinery problems and routine measurements on-site. With the large data memory of 2 GB and long-life lithium ion batteries, data collection of up to eight hours can be achieved without interruption. “The experiences made by our many VIBXPERT users are directly reflected by the features of this new product. The result is a new generation of powerful data collectors and analyzers based on sophisticated technology and featuring intuitive operation,” says Managing Director Johann Lösl, PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring GmbH.

This revolutionary technology developed by FLIR is the first time an IR camera is able to interact with more parameters in different applications. The MeterLink simplifies the work of an electrical or building inspector by making it possible to transfer, via Bluetooth TM , the data acquired by the measurement instrument into the infrared camera and implement it on the infrared image for accurate, coordinated documentation. The new MeterLink technology saves time and eliminates the risk of faulty records or notes. For example, during infrared inspections of electrical components, users can transmit key electrical readings such as current or voltage from a MeterLink-enabled Extech EX845 1000A AC/DC clamp meter directly to a FLIR infrared camera. For building-related professionals concerned with tracking moisture and water ingress, MeterLink works with the Extech InspectorPro MO297 multi-function moisture meter and psychrometer. Roger Christiansz, General Manager FLIR <strong>Systems</strong> Australia said: ‘MeterLink enables FLIR customers to integrate valuable readings from advanced, multifunction Extech meters into one format, infrared image.’ ‘MeterLink and the related connectivity features we are introducing represent FLIR’s commitment to driving innovation and leadership in the infrared camera industry.” The new, industry-first features include: • MeterLinkTM – BluetoothTM-based connectivity with Extech measurement instruments • Instant Reports – In-camera application generates PDF inspection reports on-the-go. Inspectors can easily compile images and findings into a fully-formatted PDF report that can be given to a client at a job site via USB memory stick.
Vol 23 No 3 AMMJ Maintenance News • BluetoothTM Voice Annotation – Connectivity to BluetoothTM handsfree headsets. Inspectors can now connect a BluetoothTM wireless headset to a FLIR infrared camera for easier recording of voice comments associated with their inspections. • Copy-to-USB – Transfer onboard images or reports directly to a USB memory stick. Copy-to-USB increases customer convenience by saving time and simplifying file sharing without the need for a PC, USB cable, internet, or email. • IR Window Auto-Correction – Automatic sensitivity compensation for IR windows. IR Window Auto-Correction ensures thermographers get connected to accurate diagnostics when protective safety interfaces, like view ports or IR windows are needed.

FLIR.com/THG - the company encourages potential IR users to do some basic research which it says ‘ could save you a lot of money and work in the long run.’ The booklet, written in common-use language and (mostly) free from jargon, takes readers through basic IR questions. Through this process, the guide helps the reader contemplate what features they might need, what are the basic IR camera functions and why thermal sensitivity is important. “Like most things in life, the best decision is made when you’ve done your homework. This booklet gives you some straightforward ways to think about the field of infrared, how it relates to our everyday lives and what we do – but more to the point, please always ask for a demonstration of how the camera can work in your situation.” ROTALIGN Ultra Expert – Vibration Acceptance Check The ROTALIGN® Ultra Vibration Acceptance Check application works in combination with the VIBTOOL® device to measure vibration level according to ISO 10816-3 international standard. The RMS velocity value is wirelessly transferred and stored back onto ROTALIGN® Ultra where the result is instantly evaluated against the machine classification threshold. This fulfils the recommendation of the acceptance check after installation of rotating machinery or any alignment job, ensuring that machines run without restrictions. The automatically generated Vibration Acceptance Check reports can be issued either separately or included within the shaft alignment report. The stand-alone VIBTOOL® device can measure the following parameters: Vibration severity, bearing condition, Temperature, RPM, Pump cavitation.

This is the third site deployment as part of a contract for each of the company’s North American mines, originally signed in December 2008. Implementation of the remaining mines is planned for later in 2010. Mobile Equipment Monitor collects real-time operating data and alarm information from haul trucks, shovels and loaders. It provides data visualization, trending and analysis, which contribute to improved fleet performance and the ability to reduce or prevent catastrophic component failures. The end results are a significant reduction in operating and maintenance (O&M) costs, extended equipment life and improved safety in the mines. David Fisk, Department Manager, Mining Solutions at Matrikon, stated: “The mine’s commitment to continuing deployment in spite of tight capital budgets underscores the value that Mobile Equipment Monitor delivers to customers. Mobile Equipment Monitor, like our other integrated industry applications, combines Matrikon’s leading technology, our operations know-how and experience, and input from industry leaders to solve very specific industry challenges—in this case, improving productivity of critical capital assets while lowering cost.” About Mobile Equipment Monitor: Matrikon Mobile Equipment Monitor empowers Operational Excellence by bridging the gap between mobile equipment instrumentation and maintenance systems. Mobile Equipment Monitor enables clients to: · monitor mining equipment in real-time · anticipate and prevent equipment failures · collaborate across functional areas · take corrective action by immediately scheduling maintenance and performing related work flow tasks Mobile Equipment Monitor delivers reduced maintenance costs and improved equipment reliability, effectiveness and asset life.
