SEW-Eurodrive DUV30A vibration analysis sensor.
17 September, 2010 bySEW-Eurodrive has launched its updated vibration analysis sensor, the DUV30A. Replacing the company’s DUV10A sensor, the DUV30A features faster sampling time at a constant speed, allowing the monitoring of more dynamic gear-unit applications.
Siemens Sitrans WM100 heavy-duty motion-sensing switch
17 August, 2010 byThe Sitrans WM100 heavy-duty motion-sensing switch is designed to detect the absence or presence of motion on rotating, reciprocating or conveying equipment. The device acts as early warning systems to avoid process interruptions and equipment breakdowns. Located outside of the process, Sitrans WM100 accurately detects operating conditions without wear on the sensor.
Hydac CMU 1000 online condition monitoring unit
21 June, 2010 byThe CMU 1000 is an electronic evaluation unit for permanent online condition monitoring of machines and systems. Data recorded from sensors (processed or unprocessed) can be transferred by the device via different ports or as an analog value to other devices or monitoring levels.
Machines get health checks online
17 May, 2010Condition monitoring is a proven, valuable tool for optimising maintenance strategies. Ian Liebler, Rockwell Automation integrated conditioning monitoring solutions architect, explains how integrated condition monitoring can provide even greater production and maintenance efficiencies through streamlining real-time information flow.
FreeWave cathodic protection remote monitoring radio
15 February, 2010 byCathodic protection (CP) systems for storage tanks, pipes and other buried infrastructure are often located in remote locations, making them difficult to maintain and operate. Further, these systems are often prone to theft leaving miles of expensive metal unprotected.
