knowledge of specific machines to determine how they are performing. Wireless sensors for vibration screening and analysis are one of the most powerful ways to apply CBM. Monitors like the new Fluke 3563 vibration analysis sensor are attached to critical machines to track vibration data over time and identify faults. Using accelerometers, vibration monitors measure changes in amplitude, frequency and intensity. When combined with soſtware such as the LIVE- Asset Portal from Fluke, users can spot patterns, receive alerts about anomalies and compare measurements. While critical machines benefit from
more powerful vibration analysis sensors that provide in-depth data to help determine the nature of a problem, the new Fluke 3562 screening vibration sensor is an effective way to track semi-critical machines. Te Fluke 3562 is a battery-less sensor that runs on power provided by either a thermoelectric or photovoltaic energy harvester. It collects snapshots of data, such as vibration levels, temperature and humidity, and trends the nine highest Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) peaks by magnitude.
Informed CBM CBM is based on machine condition data that can be read by condition-monitoring devices or transmitted by sensors connected to the machine. Te advantages of this approach include: • Always-on asset monitoring: When Internet-enabled devices are connected to soſtware, measurements are automatically aggregated around the clock. Specifically, data is stored in the cloud, assigned to assets and organised for users to review.
• Faster identification of the root cause of a problem: Teams can swiſtly troubleshoot assets using different condition-monitoring devices, and compare measurements over time to quickly pinpoint anomalies.
• Safe remote monitoring of equipment: Wireless-sensor measurements are automatically sent to the cloud without human intervention, enabling teams to access data remotely on smart devices. It is not surprising that Gartner estimates
decision automation in the form of predictive maintenance – and CBM – will generate the highest business value for organisations with heavy assets in 2022.
The Fluke 3563 combines a high-frequency piezoelectric sensor, two MEMS sensors and software, enabling maintenance teams to continuously monitor and analyse vibration readings
The Fluke 3562 screening vibration sensor uses thermoelectric or photovoltaic energy harvesters along with long-range sensor-to-gateway communication to provide virtually continuous asset health monitoring for semi-critical and important processes
The Fluke 3563 analysis vibration sensor system is a complete solution, including hardware, software and services, that gives maintenance teams detailed insights into performance tracking and fault analysis to improve equipment reliability
