New multichannel vibration analyzer
Manfred Weber Metra Mess und Frequenztechnik in Radebeul e.K
Metra, a German manufacturer of vibration sensors and instruments, will introduce the compact yet powerful VM100 vibration analyzer at the expo. The instrument features nine channels for IEPE vibration sensors and a tachometer input. It measures and records vibration in the time and frequency domains.
Applications include machine condition monitoring, balancing, roller bearing envelope analysis, resonance finding, modal analysis, hand-arm and whole-body human vibration, and extremely sensitive vibration measurements with regard to VC and nano criteria. The VM100 is the first dedicated instrument for nine-channel automotive ride comfort measurements to GB/T 4970-2009 using three triaxial accelerometers. The unit is operated via a bright 7in touchscreen.
Special attention was paid to the user interface: unlike other instruments of this kind, the VM100 can be operated intuitively without extensive training. Using the VM100 with a sensor with an electronic data sheet (TEDS) makes it even easier.
Measurements are recorded on SD card in CSV format, which allows the use of standard spreadsheet PC software for processing, reporting and archiving. A USB type C interface is provided for data transfer and charging. The accumulator lasts for about 10 hours of operation. Its IP64-grade case enables outdoor operation.
