Executive Summary and Core Capabilities
Early identification of mechanical unbalance, bearing spalling, gear mesh misalignment, and resonance is vital to preventing catastrophic downtime in industrial plants. The VibeSense sensor captures raw acceleration across three perpendicular axes (X, Y, Z) simultaneously, performing high-speed Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis onboard to output frequency domain spectra directly to maintenance personnel.
- Simultaneous Triaxial Capture: Measures horizontal, vertical, and axial vibration components simultaneously to provide complete mechanical fault signatures.
- Edge FFT Spectrum Computation: Processes time-domain waveforms into high-resolution frequency spectra directly inside the sensor, reducing wireless bandwidth load.
- Standardized Metric Evaluation: Automatically computes overall RMS velocity for ISO 10816 machinery health classification, acceleration peak, and crest factor for bearing defect diagnosis.
- Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Range: Streams low-latency data up to line-of-sight to tablet analysis applications or fixed factory gateways.
- Motionics MultiGauge Integration: Compatible with Motionics iOS, Android, and Windows software applications for trend logging, spectrum comparison, and PDF diagnostic report generation.
