Overview
The FAG Detector III is a vibration measuring device, data collector and
174
operational balancing device in one. Together with the Trendline 3 software,
18
the device allows improved planning of maintenance and increased machine
availability.
Machine vibrations are a good indicator of a machine's condition. With the aid of
Detector III, you can monitor machine vibrations according to ISO 10816 and roller
bearing condition by means of the demodulation detection method. The base
curve and demodulation signals stored in the system can then be used to analyze
the signals in the time and frequency range. This permits detection of alignment
errors and imbalance as reliably as roller bearing damage or gearing problems.
Other process parameters that can be recorded are temperature and rotational
speed.
Applications
Measuring and analyzing machine condition
The FAG Detector III records vibration signals at pre-defined measuring points by
means of a sensor and then calculates the effective values for velocity,
acceleration and demodulation. These characteristic values describe the
15
condition of the machine and component.
You can define and monitor frequency bands of any frequency width in the range
from 0.1 Hz to 20 kHz. FAG Detector III can save up to 1600 measuring points and
up to 270 time signals. Once a measuring round has been finished, all data
recorded are transferred to the Trendline software, where they are evaluated,
analyzed and displayed.
