M a n a g e r. "I am confident that Datastream will help New Oriental Port in the harbor property management aspect, making substantial contribution to the construction of a modern transfer port.” w w w. d a t a s t r e a m . n e t / s i n g a p o r e . Recognition for Excellence in Root Cause Analysis It is easy to recognise the people who help the plant out of a “disaster” but how do we recognise the people who prevent failure in the first place? A part of the answer is the quarterly recognition award for excellence in Root Cause Analysis conducted by RCA Rt. Participation in the awards provides companies with the opportunity to recognise and congratulate personnel who have been engaged in a methodical approach to defect elimination. The last edition of the Maintenance Journal announced that Golden Circle had won the award in the March - May quarter. The RCA team from Golden Circle, Kerry Gilliland, Glen Jacob, and Paul Whiting are shown receiving the recognition certificate and a cheque for $1000 from Bill Sugden of SIRF Roundtables. The “reward” of $1000 is made out to the team members personally. In this case the team elected to donate the money to The Australian Cancer Council. The winning submission in the June - August quarter is from the Mackay Sugar - Transfield Alliance. The RCA team members Terry Doolan, Russell Casanovas, Frank Forzatti, Anthony Toon and Anton Guinea demonstrated a methodical approach to the solution of a costly problem on a conveyor. A thorough understanding of the chronic problem allowed them to introduce procedural changes that have significantly reduced the likelihood of another failure. Individuals and organisations are welcome to learn more about the RCA Rt process for recognition of excellence in Root Cause Analysis at the RCA Rt web site www.rcart.com.au SoftSols Group Provides Agility To Maintenance Contractors SoftSols Group, a leading provider of maintenance management software solutions, has launched A g i l i t y, a browserbased maintenance management solution that provides a uniquely priced, completely flexible route for maintenance contractors and Facilities Management specialists to help their customers reap significant operational savings. Traditional maintenance systems are complex, costly to integrate and difficult to use. Agility addresses the core maintenance requirements in a very intuitive format. It is inherently flexible, enabling contractors to tailor the solution to how they want it to work, complete with customisable forms and style sheets to integrate smoothly with existing customer systems. A g i l i t y ’s built in flexibility makes it much more cost-effective to run, with licensing costs at a price well below traditional systems. Value for money is a key factor in business today. More factories and plants subcontract their maintenance operation in order to reduce costs and improve productivity. Agility helps subcontractors to reap quick returns for their customers, by providing instant remote access so that they can gain a complete overview of enterprise assets. They are then able to streamline operations through more effective management of capital assets, better allocation of human resources and ensuring optimum performance from plant equipment. w w w. g e t a g i l i t y.com The MX Series, Portable Maintenance Instrument, part of the Microlog® family of products Livingston, UK - The MX Series, portable maintenance instrument, part of the Microlog family of products, represents a new concept in vibration analysis instrumentation. The MX Series re-defines traditional approaches to vibration analysis and simplifies industrial maintenance, servicing and inspection techniques. It also offers new possibilities for manufacturers of rotating and reciprocating machinery. To achieve this SKF has combined the latest handheld computing technology with a flexible range of analysis modules to create a multi-functional tool for use by anyone, no matter what their level of experience. The MX Series was created to provide a simple, easy to use instrument for a wide range of applications. It is in effect, several instruments combined on a single, rugged hhandheld device. The MX Series gives users the flexibility to choose from a range of different testing and analysis applications. These modular tools include: • A conformance check module, to assess machinery health in accordance with industrial standards (ISO, BS, API etc.) or to allow users to define their own standards. • An easy to use FFT spectrum analyzer with on-screen phase vector readout • A stand alone balancer (static & dynamic couple, single or dual plane) • A bump test for determining resonance • A digital signal recorder 73
74 According to Product Manager Jim Fowlie “The key to the flexibility of the MX Series lies in its modular approach. By selecting just the applications they need, users can create an instrument tailored to their exact requirements.” He continues “Should their needs change, further modules can be installed at a later date, ensuring a viable upgrade path without the need to invest in new hardware.” The MX also has several unique features to ensure ease of use: • On-screen help & step by step instructions • Display images of actual machinery or transducer locations • Hardcopy printout to a field portable printer • PC based advanced reporting & analysis module At the heart of the MX Series lies an advanced mobile computer with the latest Intel 400 MHz Xscale processor. The result is a powerful instrument capable of taking fast, high-resolution measurements. The MX has a large color display that is readable in most lighting conditions and its use of Microsoft’s Windows CE.net operating system and USB communications provides seamless connectivity into the PC environment. The device has a large 64-megabyte internal memory plus the choice of digital storage options, ensuring access to ample data storage. Fowlie also notes that SKF understands the need for an instrument to be rugged, able withstand the daily knocks and abuse associated with industrial environments. The MX Series embodies this rugged design philosophy with a 6.5ft drop test rating and IP65 sealing to protect against dust and water ingress. The MX Series will be released in September 2005.

Introducing the range: ALL-TEST PROTM 31 - an excellent pass/fail motor and winding troubleshooting tool. It detects all types of winding faults, incorporates a 500 M? meter and can perform a quick rotor test to detect casting voids and broken rotor bars. It is compatible with optional Condition Calculator 3.0 and Condition Calculator PPC (palm top) diagnostic software packages. ALL-TEST IV PROTM 2000 - a motor circuit analyser for predictive maintenance and troubleshooting winding and rotor faults in motors and transformers of all sizes and types: Single and 3-phase, AC and DC, even traction motors and machine tool servos. The instrument has on board memory to store data and previous results; it has a PC interface and is delivered with TREND 2005 software for 3-phase motor analysis and reporting. It is also compatible with EMCAT Pro 2005 motor management software. ALL-TEST PROTM MD - provides for complete motor circuit diagnostics, both on-line and off-line. The kit combines Motor Circuit Analysis (MCA) and Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA), to diagnose and evaluate the health of virtually every component, both electrical and mechanical, in the motor circuit: Incoming power through the motor to the driven load. For existing customers, an exciting line-up of upgrades/enterprise licensing and NEW product is now available. Ask about: TREND 2005 and EMCAT PRO 2005 software. From a hardware prospective, the ALL-SAFE PRO test panel is for safe and fast testing of energised motor systems and power quality monitoring - the permanently installed connection box eliminates the need to open electrical panels when testing energised motors, removing the need for the operator to suite up in special clothing. In addition, Dr Howard Penrose’s newest book is now in stock and ready to ship. Motor Circuit Analysis: Electrical Motor Diagnostics is a supplement/companion book to the previous publication. Technical support, training tools and facilities, are readily available. As such, the next “Motor Diagnostic Wo r k s h o p ” has been scheduled 24-26 <strong>October</strong> 2005 in Sydney, Australia; course materials include a copy of Motor Circuit Analysis: Theory, Applications and Energy Analysis by Dr Howard W. Penrose, Ph.D. For more information (agents welcome) contact our offices: TEL +61 2 9318 0656 EMAIL info@aptgroup.com.au WEB www. a p t g r o u p. c o m . a u
