Continuous Real Time Monitoring
Continuous Real Time Monitoring
(OP)
Our vibration analysis program is less than a year old, abut one of our goals is to implement some form of real time, or semi-real time monitoring of one line as an implementation test. Do any of you have advice in this area? What are the comparisons between the available commercial technologies? What are the advantages/disadvantages to setting up this program in-house? If there are previous threads on this topic, I'd appreciate a link, and links to other websites would be also appreciated.

We use analysis of data taken beginning of each shift to confirm operator setup is correct (balanced tooling etc.) and to collect machine "quality" data. This is not any indication of machine approaching failure for us (when tolerance exceed 0.010mm we must rebuild, but know if we keep vibration low machinery last longer before rebuild needed.

MAARS Inc. in Knoxville, TN (http://www.maars.com) makes a very versatile system that continuously acquires data on all channels, allows you to "band" specific frequency ranges of interest to observe trends and set alarms. The other parameters (in addition to amplitude) can also be trended and have alarms applied, like phase, Crest Factor, machine speed, Bias voltage, etc. The system can be equipped with both input and output relays for data acquisition triggering and alarm annunciation. It is extremely flexible and reliable. It can alarm on waveform parameters of peak values, RMS values or peak-peak values, as well depending on your application. All this flexibility is great for applications where you are trying to detect some process anomaly which influences product quality.
