Fukudaco SmartCheck Condition Monitoring Device
Manufacturer: Fukudaco
Overview
SmartCheck is a condition-monitoring device that monitors vibration and temperature. By detecting the specific vibration frequencies associated with mechanical element failures, it can identify abnormal vibrations that could lead to unexpected equipment shutdowns and pinpoint the malfunctioning mechanical components.
Applications
- Condition monitoring of various production equipment (rotating machinery)
- Pumps
- Motors
- Fans
- Gearboxes
- Belts
- Compressors
- Vibrating screens
Features
- Condition monitoring through a wide range of vibration (0.8–10kHz) and temperature (-20°C to +70°C)
- Automatic FFT analysis with two-stage alarm notification
- Preloaded with numerous measurement templates to cover various production equipment
- Alarm thresholds are adjustable to match operating conditions, even with variable speed and load fluctuations
Benefits of Vibration Condition Monitoring
In bearing damage, which often causes production equipment downtime, the operational status generally changes in the following order:
- Vibration
- Unusual noise
- Temperature rise
- Bearing seizure
Therefore, monitoring vibrations enables the earliest detection of equipment abnormalities.
