Balancing

VIBSCANNER® is an offline condi-tion monitoring system for predic-tive maintenance. Its comprehen-sive measurement and analysisfunctions and the convenient joy-stick for navigation make thishandy instrument ideal for every-day inspection routines.

Well equipped

* DisplacementVelocityAccelerationacc. to the new ISO 10816-3- even at frequencies down to 2 Hz

Use trend curves to follow thedevelopment of machine de-fects.

FFT analysis with enveloping isprovided for the diagnosis ofmachine condition, bearingcondition and gear faults.

Time signals and orbits detectdamage in low-speed ma-chines, gearboxes or turbomachinery.

Signal analysis

Totally compatible with the OMNI-TREND® PC software it gives analy-sis and reporting functions in aneasy to understand format to pre-vent catastrophic machine failure,unplanned production downtimeand consequential damage to pro-cess equipment.

Trending Machine diagnosis

VIBSCANNER® measures the mostimportant machine parameters onrotating equipment. All the sensorsrequired are built into the instru-ment.

VIBSCANNER® is protected bya rugged, waterproof anddustproof case. An intrinsicallysafe version is also available.

Allows one or two plane ma-chine balancing in situ.

Joystick navigationEasy to use, simple to learn!One joystick and two functionkeys are all the operating con-trols you need - whether youare right or left-handed.

Power to lastA practical quick-change re-chargeable battery in the han-dle guarantees 8 hours of oper-ation.

ISO alarm displayFour LEDs for 'everything's OK'(blue), 'pre-warning' (green),'warning' (yellow) and 'alarm'(red).

Sensors & interfacesMeasure important parametersdirectly. Use built-in transdu-cers or external sensors at-tached to rugged connectors.

VIBSCANNER®: One for all ...

Take-along convenience - with built-in sensors!

Up to speed?Non-contact RPM measurementfrom distances up to 0.5 meterswith no need for reflective tape –even in poor light. A bright redpointer beam helps in directingyour aim at the rotating shaft.

Takes the heat for youThe retractable, flexible tempera-ture probe ensures optimal surfacecontact for quick, accurate read-ings – even in liquid. Or plug in anexternal probe – even IR tempera-ture guns are available.

Good vibrationsThe rugged, patented accelerome-ter measures machine vibration aswell as the high-frequency shockpulses emitted by anti-frictionbearings and cavitating pumps –for a total of three different ma-chine signals all at the same time.

Unmistakable connectorsColor-coding of the input and out-put channels as well as the con-necting cables prevents confusion.

– In –Nearly any transducer (ICP®, CLD*,Pt100, AC, DC,...) can be used tomeasure analog signals.

– Out –Data exchange with the PC, themeasurement of digital trigger sig-nals and the output of analog sig-nals for headphones and analysisdevices is carried out via the yellowinterface.

All the right connections

*CLD: Current LineDrive

Step-by-stepCollect machine condition data in apredefined measurement route oruse VIBCODE® for automatic datacollection. As soon as VIBCODE® isconnected to a measurement loca-tion, the programmed measure-ment tasks start automatically.

Adaptive routesMeasurement values are comparedto alarm limits and stored. If alarmconditions arise, additional diag-nostic measurements start auto-matically.

Electronic notepadNext to measurement tasks, visualinspection tasks appear as a picklist for entry of inspection data.(e.g. ‘Check oil level’)

Don't forget!VIBSCANNER® indicates the end ofthe route – namely when all mea-surement locations have beencompleted.

Data collection with VIBCODE®

or 'machine scanning'

Positive identification!VIBCODE® is the world's first intel-ligent, field-tested transducer sys-tem to recognize its measurementlocations automatically – at an un-beatably low price. The probe locksonto the measurement stud viabayonet mount and reads its en-coded plastic ring. Then it readsthe machine signals programmedfor that location. VIBCODE® there-fore delivers extremely reliabletrending results by ensuring thatthe location, measurement direc-tion and probe pressure are exactlythe same each time.The new VIBCODE® transducernow also measures signals on low-speed machines (as low as 2 Hz).

Coded measure-ment locations

Easy data collection with'machine scan'Run through non-VIBCODE® mea-surement locations using a graphi-cal route. VIBSCANNER® graphical-ly displays the next measurementpoint location with its direction ofmeasurement. This prevents mea-surement locations from beingoverlooked or mixed up.

Balancing in1 and 2 planes

Clear indicationAfter every measurement, the posi-tion and weight of the correctionmasses appear. The 'Smiley' showsthat required balancing quality hasbeen reached.

Flexible balancingCorrect unbalance with fixed-massbalancing weights, fixed correctionlocations (e.g. for blowers) or bytape measure positioning. Choosebetween adding masses or remo-ving weight by boring into therotor.

Intuitive operationGraphical step-by-step operatorguidance for an extremely easy yetaccurate balancing procedure.

Also for bearings and gearsAs well as normal spectra, VIB-SCANNER® measures envelopedspectra to diagnose bearing andgear meshing problems. Spectracan be zoomed with the joystick,facilitating field evaluations.

The correct settingHow to measure high-speed gearsor low-speed machines? VIBSCAN-NER® has all the answers in opti-mized and predefined setups.

Analysis in detail

Activating softwareThe optional balancing, analysisand FFT software are simple toactivate in VIBSCANNER® by enter-ing a password - without anychanges to the hardware or anyadditional update programs. Youcan even try out FFT for 30 hours ofoperation free-of-charge.

Going into orbitThe movement of a rotating shaftis measured sequentially in boththe X and Y axis and displayed asan orbit.

Temporarily 'online'Overall values or spectra can berecorded at scheduled times in or-der to identify the problems introublesome machines - almost likean online system!

Report functionReports are very simple to com-pile and print out.

Diagnosis by FFT

The right settingOptimized settings for almostevery measurement task arestored in OMNITREND®. Thesoftware knows which mea-surement instrument can usewhich set-up in order to avoidwrong settings.

Always in the pictureThe clearly-structured databaseenables a quick localization ofthe measurement data. Thedata can then be visualized andcombined in trend curves,spectra, time based signals ororbits.

PC software for storage,analysis and reporting

OMNITREND®: One for allOMNITREND® allows you to defineyour condition-monitoring proce-dure, to store and to analyze data,to create comprehensive reportsand to communicate with all yourPRÜFTECHNIK condition monitor-ing products such as: VIBSCAN-NER®, VIBXPERT®, VIBROTIP®, VI-BROWEB®, VIBNODE® and VIBRO-NET® Signalmaster.NEW: Alignment data from RO-TALIGN® and smartALIGN® cannow be conveniently administratedand archived in OMNITREND®.

Off to the next roundCreating a VIBSCANNER® routeis particularly easy as every ma-chine can be representedgraphically. Use ‘drag & drop’to position measurement loca-tions, which are then shown onthe VIBSCANNER® display.

Import - ExportAll recorded data (route, multi-mode) is transferred onto thePC and placed into OMNI-TREND® database. For synchro-nizing and archiving existingdata records, data can be im-ported from other OMNI-TREND® or TIPTREND® databas-es. The export of data in astandard format (ASCII) en-ables the data to be convertedinto other database formats.

A series of spectraA spectra waterfall diagrammakes it easy to see changeswhen looking at multiple spec-tra for data analysis.
