Predictive Maintenance Made Easy with Banner's Wireless Vibration Solution
Predictive maintenance on machines can be difficult because minor performance changes can be hard to detect without the proper tools. Condition monitoring plays a key role in predictive maintenance and helps prevent costly downtime. One important condition to monitor is vibration. Machine vibration is often caused by imbalanced, misaligned, loose, or worn parts. As vibration increases, so can damage to the machine. By monitoring motors, pumps, compressors, fans, blowers, and gearboxes for increases in vibration, problems can be detected before they become severe and result in unplanned downtime.
- Detect Problems Earlier
- Predicts Failure
- Reduce Down Time
- Plan Maintenance Efficiently
Wireless Vibration Monitor Makes Condition Monitoring Easy
Banner's wireless vibration and temperature sensors are meant to serve as a "check engine light" for machines. The sensors are defaulted to measure RMS velocity, which provides the most uniform measurement of vibration over a wide range of machine frequencies. They can be easily mounted using a standard bracket, a magnetic bracket, or a two-sided thermal transfer mounting tape. The sensors are designed to work with multiple Banner wireless nodes.
After mounting the vibration sensor, collect enough vibration data to establish a baseline for the machine. Initially set the threshold at 1.5 or 2 times the baseline. When the threshold has been exceeded, the Q45VT can provide local indication, the signal can be sent to a wireless TL70 Tower Light on a central location, or an email or text alert can be sent. The vibration and temperature data can also be sent to a DXM100 Wireless Logic Controller or PLC for collection and analysis.
- Mount to motors,compressors, fans, pumps with a variety of options
- Set vibration parameters acc. to ISO 10816 Vibration Severity Chart
- Set a temperature threshold up to 80'C
- Provides local indication, sends signal to a central location and collects data via the Gateway
