Vibration measuring device
✓ Patent granted in Colombia: 15222437
A large number of industry sectors require the uninterrupted operation of different types of machinery. Any damage means production delays and economic losses. Therefore, constant monitoring is of vital importance to identify possible failures and remedy them before they lead to permanent damage. The Mechanical Design Group (GDM) of the University of Antioquia developed an electronic device for the measurement and processing of vibration signals of rotating machinery, supported by specialized software. The software provides the global vibration values and the velocity and acceleration spectra for machinery diagnostics.
*APPLICATIONS: ✓ Predictive and corrective maintenance to industrial machinery. *ADVANTAGES-BENEFITS: ✓Small and portable device for work in demanding environmental and geographical conditions. ✓ Measurements are made during machine operation and failure possibilities can be detected before they occur. ✓ Allows USB connection to a computer for data processing. ✓ Low number of electronic components allowing the device to be small in size and maximize the ability to dissipate heat generated during the measurement process. ✓ Ability to detect different types of faults such as unbalance, misalignment, gear and bearing problems, bent shafts, mechanical looseness, cavitation, soft foot, electrical problems in three-phase motors, belt faults, among others. ✓ User-friendly software interface that allows graphical visualization of the analysis.
