Fluke Reliability introduces the new VibXpert 3 Balancer
Fluke Reliability is pleased to introduce the VibXpert 3 Balancer from Prüftechnik, an innovative vibration analyzer for diagnosing and correcting imbalances on site or in the factory.
Imbalance is the most common cause of failure in rotating equipment such as fans, pumps and motor-driven tools. However, maintenance teams all too often miss the early signs of imbalance. New and inexperienced employees can also have difficulty diagnosing the cause of an imbalance. The challenge is even greater when working in the field and in harsh or extreme conditions.
The VibXpert 3 balancer is a precision, intelligent device designed for today’s workforce. Fast, intuitive and easy to use, it’s easy to use in even the toughest environments. Even beginners can use the VibXpert 3 to identify imbalances, correct them and get back to work right away.
The VibXpert 3 balancer has six synchronous channels, so it can easily record vibration measurements across multiple channels. Measure the system and its components from several different angles. Collect measurement data simultaneously and compare it with data from the system’s history. Get to the bottom of the imbalance and correct it directly at the source.
An interactive touchscreen guides the user through each step of the process. Teams can view measurement data on a clear dashboard. Get step-by-step instructions on how to correct the imbalance, then measure again until the imbalance is completely eliminated.
VibXpert 3 allows for diagnosis using the latest tools. This vibration analysis device allows you to quickly and easily identify imbalances so that problems can be corrected early – before they develop into expensive, dangerous problems. The result? Higher availability and productivity plus lower maintenance costs.
Advantages of the VibXpert 3 Balancer
The VibXpert 3 Balancer can make a positive difference in almost any organization. Here are some of the key benefits teams can expect.
Detect and diagnose imbalances early
Even qualified technicians sometimes miss the first signs of imbalance. With VibXpert 3, problems can be easily identified early, allowing technicians to fix the problem easily and at a lower cost.
When rotating equipment becomes unbalanced, the vibration amplitude increases. A sensitive vibration analyzer such as the VibXpert 3 Balancer can detect the subtle changes in vibration amplitude that indicate an unbalance, long before it becomes visible to the naked eye.
VibXpert 3 can perform resonance measurements and phase measurements to diagnose the cause of the unbalance. VibXpert 3 can also perform deeper analysis using FFT spectrum data to isolate and diagnose difficult unbalance problems.
Fix imbalances quickly and get back to work
The VibXpert 3 Balancer has six channels that can measure vibration amplitude from multiple angles simultaneously. Multiphase measurements, total vibration values and FFT spectrum data can be acquired at once. Setup takes only a few moments and measurements are almost instantaneous. The user can minimize vibration amplitude at all machine measurement points simultaneously.
This tool allows you to quickly and accurately locate the source of the imbalance, allowing the operator to begin repairs immediately. This keeps downtime as short as possible and also keeps maintenance costs low.
Make optimal use of your maintenance resources
Most maintenance teams today are working with fewer staff and tight budgets. With the VibXpert 3 Balancer, small, technically limited teams can successfully resolve imbalance problems.
VibXpert 3’s interactive user interface works like a tablet, making it easy for workers familiar with it to use. The user swipes and taps the screen to navigate through menu options. Data from multiple measurements is displayed on one screen for easy comparison. Prompts guide the user through the steps of diagnosing and correcting imbalance problems.
Setting up the VibXpert 3 balancer is quick and easy. With multiple channels, the user can perform all the required measurements simultaneously, eliminating the need to constantly re-adjust the device or perform complex calculations.
Detect and correct imbalances on site
The VibXpert 3 balancer is robust and durable. It can withstand extreme temperatures, humidity and dust. It is robust and will continue to work even after being dropped. The touchscreen is scratch-resistant, although it is sensitive enough to operate even with gloves on.
Just as importantly, the VibXpert 3 balancer works quickly and accurately. Maintenance teams sometimes have to work in harsh environments to take measurements and correct imbalances. The VibXpert 3 balancer allows them to get the job done quickly, minimizing the time they spend in hazardous environments.
VibXpert 3 Balancer: Precise, fast and easy to learn
The new vibration analyzer from Fluke Reliability equips your team with the cutting-edge technology they need to keep all your rotating equipment running. It’s intuitive and accessible to all workers, and it’s rugged enough to operate in any environment.
The VibXpert 3 Balancer improves rotating equipment maintenance from the ground up. Let it work for you and enjoy the benefits of increased availability and productivity as well as lower maintenance costs.
