Fluke 3563 16KIT Analysis Vibration Sensors Kit

Fluke 3563 16KIT Offers

Introducing the piezoelectric sensor combined with MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) sensors for a powerful solution to any condition-based maintenance program. Detect and measure changes in pressure, temperature, acceleration, strain, or force by converting these changes to electrical charges. Furthermore, this vibration sensor is ideal for various machine types and industrial equipment, prioritizing quality assurance, process control, research and development.

Track, monitor, and analyze vibration readings of an extensive portfolio of critical, semi-critical, and non-critical assets. Vibration data is transmitted wirelessly to the gateway and the cloud through Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Next, the data moves into the eMaint Condition Monitoring Software for analyzing data, events, and machine conditions. Moreover, this software allows users to identify the relevant data points, fine-tune data intervals, and customize data collection frequency and timing.

Receive guidance, support, and training from the included remote or onsite onboarding services throughout the configuration, commissioning, and installation process. In addition, remote condition monitoring services (sold separately) are available to further assist users in interpreting the data to obtain the best results.

• Users can view data through a web application connected to the platform

What happens when the analysis sensor detects a fault?

• 1. The analysis vibration sensor measures machine vibrations and temperature in three different directions
• 2. The data is sent to the gateway and then to the cloud-based eMaint Condition Monitoring Software
• 3. A reliability professional analyzes the data, event, and machine condition via a PC, laptop, or mobile phone
• Once a fault is detected, a correction such as these can be applied: Balance the machine, check the shaft alignment, inspect mounting base, grease bearing, replace the bearing, etc

LIVE-Asset™ Portal Software (sold separately) application offers a straightforward configuration process for all experience levels

The software application leverages customizable and auto-generated thresholds based on machine details, vibration trending graphs, alarms and notifications. It also enables maintenance professionals to configure both banded overall values and narrowband values. With this capability, users can quickly screen out which machines are healthy or not. They can determine the fault causing a problem in an unhealthy machine and obtain insights to evaluate their next-step actions.

Overall, the configuration process within the LIVE-Asset™ Portal (sold separately) is user-friendly and intuitive. The ability to configure begins when someone puts asset information into the software. A new user starts the configuration through a button on the Settings page. During this process, the user can fill in asset details, components, test points, tasks and alarms, and device settings within each named asset

Asset details: Under the asset details, the user can include a description, Asset ID number, power (HP/kW), speed (RPM), and foundation type. The software requires the user to input the shaft speed (RPM) of the machine. A popup will appear in the tasks/alarms area to put in this information as a reminder. The RPM is critical to include because it helps build the auto-generated thresholds.

Components: The component area allows users to start defining their machines through the driver component and driven component. For example, the user would tell the software what features make up a centrifugal fan through the selections made.

Test point: The test point section is related to the best location (bearing) to get health and fault information about the machine. Information about the test points includes the name of choice, position on the machine, and sensor orientation. The user can have multiple test points on each machine.

Tasks and alarms: This box provides users the option of having the software set the alarm limits automatically based on a specific asset's information. The ability to have auto-generated information is a timesaver. It sets thresholds for the captured vibration measurements, including overall velocity and trends (velocity bands and acceleration bands).

Device settings: The setup incorporates a smart battery management capability that lets users decide on the data transmission rate, enabling them to choose how often data is collected and received in device settings, thereby allowing users to adjust and extend sensor battery life while still obtaining the necessary data. By selecting the appropriate rates for a particular machine, users can prolong battery life while still receiving the essential data needed to monitor asset health.

Dashboard and Insights: The dashboard provides users with a swift overview of each asset's basic details, encompassing active alarms, warnings, system errors, and connected devices, while also presenting the health status of facility assets through color coding- green signifies normal operation, yellow indicates a warning status, red signifies critical issues, and black denotes system errors.
