INSPECTION & MEASUREMENT FEATURE
WIRELESS VIBRATION AND TEMPERATURE MONITORING Building on its vast experience of sensor and control technology, Banner Engineering has launched the QM42VT1 vibration and temperature sensor now available in the UK from Turck Banner. Machine vibration is often caused by
imbalanced, misaligned, loose or worn parts. By monitoring machines for increases in vibration and temperature, problems can be detected before they become too severe and cause additional damage or result in unplanned
downtime.The Banner wireless vibration and temperature sensor measures RMS velocity in millimetres per second or inches per second and temperatures up to 80°C. Mounted as close as possible to the bearings using a standard or magnetic bracket the QM42VT1 monitors the machine’s health by detecting increases in vibration and temperature. Banner’s tried and tested DX80 range provides the communication link as the sensor is designed to work with 1-wire serial radio devices such as the Wireless Q45VT Node, the P6 Performance Node and the MultiHop M-H6 radio. (1-Wire is a device communications bus system designed by Dallas Semiconductor Corp. that provides low-speed data, signaling and power over a single signal). Vibration thresholds based on the ISO 10816 standard are easily set. When a
AUTOMOTIVE FUSE BOX INSPECTION SYSTEM
Using machine vision an automated 2- camera fuse box inspection system has been developed by Stemmer Imaging for a car manufacturer. Originally a manual inspection was carried out and no record was kept. With the machine vision system a monochrome camera reads a bar code on the vehicle’s build sheet. The configuration of the correct fuse
threshold has been exceeded the wireless Node can provide local indication, send the signal to a central location and send the vibration and temperature data to the Gateway for collection and trending. Manufactured in a robust zinc alloy
housing, QM42VT1 is suitable for a variety of machine applications including motors, pumps, compressors, gearboxes, blowers and fans.

Multi–tool maintenance solutions
Mounted as close as possible to the bearings using a standard or magnetic bracket the QM42VT1 monitors the machine’s health by detecting increases in vibration and temperature
box is loaded when the barcode is scanned and then compared to data from an image of the actual fuse box present in the vehicle which is recorded using a colour camera. If the match is incorrect the test is automatically flagged as a fail and the missing/wrong parts are highlighted on a display before cars leave the factory. The system comprises a Geva 1000
high performance multi-camera industrial controller equipped with one Genie M1280 monochrome and one Genie C1280 colour camera from Teledyne DALSA. Both offer a resolution of 1280 x 960 pixels operating at 24 frames per second at full resolution and utilise the GigE Vision interface, making it possible to transmit data over distances of up to 100m.
