CABS Rotating Body Vibration (Field Balance) Measurement, Monitoring, and Management

basic information

We started with vibration measurement and dynamic balancing adjustment of turbine generators at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Vibration can always be a source of trouble in turbo machinery. However, it is not possible to test all operating conditions, so we can only set patterns and achieve dynamic balance. At that time, being able to quickly optimize by cross-referencing with prior design analysis and past data is an important element in field balancing. In addition to essential items such as phase reference, rotational speed signals, and shaft vibration waveforms, we measure the vibration state and monitor dynamic balance by inputting signals indicating the operating conditions of rotating machinery, such as generator output and oil temperature, as DC voltage. Not only can it be used as a vibration meter and vibration monitoring device, but it can also be integrated into a condition monitoring system that collaborates with a long-term historical management database. We offer a lineup ranging from portable models specialized for balancing (dynamic balancing) adjustment measurements to permanent models that support the detection of precursors to trouble by collecting various parameters for manufacturing quality control. Customization is also available. The photo is just one example. Whether you want to check vibrations at a slightly advanced level during routine inspections, monitor vibration conditions online, or oversee the condition of integrated equipment for manufacturing quality control, it contributes to the preventive maintenance of various rotating bodies.

Price information

Prices may vary depending on specifications, so please feel free to contact us. (Depending on the specifications, it may exceed or fall below the standard selling price range.) In addition to our lineup, we will determine the specifications tailored to your needs, including response options, and propose the optimal price (Data Sensing Concierge Service). We will also provide information on not only speed-type vibration sensors but also acceleration sensor models. We can accommodate a wide range of requests for machine condition monitoring, such as additional signals other than axial vibration, so please do not hesitate to consult with us.

Applications/Examples of results

In addition to the product images posted, there are various specifications available according to the intended use. For temporary installation measurements during trial operation after installation, we provide dynamic balancing (dynamic balance) and field balance adjustments for various rotating machinery. For continuous monitoring of owned equipment, we check the operating conditions of turbo machinery such as steam turbines, gas turbines, blowers, pumps, generators, and other rotating machines. For quality control in manufacturing sites, we verify the balance state of rotating bodies in the manufacturing environment and check the torsional vibration state of ship propeller shafts, among others. We can measure and balance long rotating bodies, from a single measurement point to 16 points (bearings), all at once. Customization to meet customer needs is possible for all components, including hardware and firmware. We are also open to discussions about reducing unnecessary functions from standard products to lower prices. CABS: Computer Aided Balancing System offers a wide range of solutions, from portable temporary measurements to integration into your products, incorporating customer insights, AI functions, and communication capabilities, as well as systems utilizing cloud technology.

Detailed information

• 

  We have consolidated the measurement of vibrations from small and medium-sized steam turbine generators, axial flow compressors, and turbo machinery with gears into one device, allowing for measurements alongside steam, lubricating oil, and more. This device can be used for both temporary measurements and continuous monitoring. Of course, it can also be utilized for dynamic balancing adjustments and monitoring. Additionally, we offer specifications tailored to your machinery, allowing for a wide range of applications.

• 

  This is a cost-effective field balancer specialized for turbo machinery driven by AC motors. It can be used for continuous condition monitoring as well as for checking dynamic balance during regular inspections. We can provide cost-optimized monitoring for customers with numerous pumps and fans, maintenance companies, and SIers considering service expansion. For those considering "IoT trials" with vibration monitoring, we offer guidance on an ultra-low-cost model that significantly reduces expenses.

• 

  It is not a dynamic balance measurement, but rather a specialized machine for measuring the "twist" of long rotor steam turbine generators and axial flow compressors. It can also check the condition of pumps for highly viscous fluids and measure the torsional vibrations of boring equipment and ship propeller shafts.

• 

  It is the best-selling model. It can be used as a portable balancer for temporary measurements when combined with a laptop that stores applications, or it can be stored on a rack for use in product quality control sites, or mounted on control panels and monitoring panels for permanent monitoring. Of course, it is also possible to capture voltage signals other than vibration signals. By expanding the applications, it can be useful for various purposes and analyses.
