Portable, local and plant-wide vibration solutions

May 2012 Sensors & Transducers

Unexpected down-time creates problems, so having good information about the condition of a machine enables better judgment as to whether or not to keep the machine running until the next planned maintenance, or whether it must be shut down early.

Shutdowns, even scheduled shutdowns, are expensive and in today‘s continuous process any downtime becomes costly. Historically, many processes have been shut down on routine basis for visual inspection of the machinery, whether or not an inspection was required. Installing vibration monitoring equipment or using portable units on a routine basis we can extend the running time between shutdowns.

ProvibTech can offer a full spectrum of vibration monitoring, measuring, and analysis products for the protection of critical machines. The range includes plant wide monitoring (via Ethernet), rack vibration monitoring systems, vibration sensors, 4-20 mA and digital vibration transmitters, monitors, proximity probes, hand held vibration meters and vibration data-collectors. ProvibTech is ISO9001 quality certified and many products are CSA and ATEX certified for hazardous areas and CE certified in Europe.
