Fluke Reliability Introduces New VibXpert 3 Balancer Test Tool
Fluke Reliability introduces the VibXpert 3 Balancer from Pruftechnik – a next-generation professional balancing instrument that enables the diagnosis and correction of rotational asymmetry in the field and on the factory floor.
Unbalance is a major cause of failure in rotating equipment such as fans, pumps, and motorized tools. However, maintenance personnel often miss early signs of imbalance. New and inexperienced workers may also have difficulty diagnosing the source of unbalance. The challenge is even greater when working in the field, in difficult or extreme conditions.
VibXpert 3 Balancer is a precise, intelligent instrument designed with the needs of today’s machine operators in mind. Its operation is fast, intuitive and easy even in the most difficult conditions. VibXpert 3 can be used to identify and correct asymmetries even by operators who do not have extensive specialist knowledge.
VibXpert 3 Balancer uses six synchronous channels, making it easy to perform multi-channel vibration measurements. Measurements can be taken from different angles, both for the entire device and individual components. Different measurements can be recorded simultaneously and compared with historical data. The instrument enables accurate diagnosis of the root cause of imbalance and its elimination directly at the source.
The interactive touchscreen guides the user step by step through the process. Service teams can view measurement data on one convenient dashboard. Step-by-step instructions make it easy to correct asymmetry, and a quick re-measurement confirms whether the problem has been completely fixed.
VibXpert 3 provides operators with state-of-the-art diagnostic capabilities. This tool enables rapid resolution of asymmetry problems, making them easier to diagnose – before they become costly and dangerous failures. The result? Increased uptime, increased productivity and lower maintenance costs.
Benefits of VibXpert 3 Balancer
VibXpert 3 Balancer can transform the work of almost any company. Here are some of the key benefits it offers.
Early diagnosis and identification of asymmetries
Even skilled technicians sometimes miss early signs of imbalance. VibXpert 3 makes it easier to detect problems early, allowing for quicker repairs at a lower cost.
Imbalance in rotating equipment causes increased vibration levels. A sensitive vibration monitor, such as the VibXpert 3 Balancer, can detect subtle changes in vibration levels that indicate imbalance, long before they become visible to the naked eye.
VibXpert 3 enables you to perform resonance and phase measurements to diagnose the root cause of unbalance. VibXpert 3 also enables more in-depth analysis using FFT spectrum data to isolate and diagnose difficult imbalance problems.
Quick solution to the problem and restoration of functionality
The VibXpert 3 Balancer uses six channels to simultaneously measure vibration levels from multiple angles. It allows simultaneous multi-phase measurements, measurement of total vibration levels and recording of FFT spectrum data. Set-up takes only moments and measurement results are almost instantaneous. Users can minimize vibration levels simultaneously at all measurement points on the machine.
The tool enables quick and accurate identification of the source of imbalance, allowing operators to get to work and make repairs right away. This can minimize downtime and reduce maintenance costs.
Maximum maintenance
As maintenance teams struggle with staff shortages and tight budgets, VibXpert 3 Balancer makes it easy for small crews of operators who lack advanced expertise to effectively solve imbalance problems.
The interactive interface of the VibXpert 3 works like a tablet, making it easy for users accustomed to this type of device to use. Menu options can be navigated by swiping the screen. Data from multiple measurements is displayed on one screen, allowing easy comparison. Helpful tips are displayed on the screen throughout the diagnostic process and when correcting asymmetry problems.
Setting up the VibXpert 3 Balancer is quick and easy. With the multi-channel analysis function, all measurements can be taken simultaneously, eliminating the need to readjust the instrument or perform complex calculations.
Identification and correction of asymmetries in the field
The VibXpert 3 Balancer is a solid and durable device. It is designed to work in extreme temperatures and is resistant to moisture and dust. It is also resistant to impacts and shocks, so you can continue working even if you drop the device. The touchscreen is scratch-resistant, but sensitive enough to be operated with gloves on.
In addition, the VibXpert 3 Balancer works quickly and accurately. Service crews who diagnose and correct asymmetries often have to work in difficult conditions. The VibXpert 3 Balancer allows necessary work to be carried out quickly, minimizing the time operators have to spend in a hazardous environment.
VibXpert 3 Balancer: Precision, Speed and Availability
The new Fluke Reliability balancing tool is state-of-the-art technology, giving operators the complete, reliable diagnostics they need to keep all rotating equipment running at peak efficiency. The tool is intuitive and easy for all workers to use. It’s also rugged and durable enough to operate in any environment.
VibXpert 3 Balancer is a breakthrough in all applications. Using it, you can reduce machine downtime, reduce maintenance costs and improve the production efficiency of your plant.
