Contor uses tri-axial piezo accelerometers combined with ZigBee wireless communications and features include: robust hardware; real-time audible, visual and emailed alarms to relevant parties; comprehensive and user friendly software; ZigBee radio communication from unit to local receivers; and data stored in SQL database.
According to The IMC Group, the system significantly reduces machine downtime and has the ability to introduce predictive maintenance regimes - for example, bearings by monitoring the RMS vibration. Accurate data for warranty claims can be provided and maintenance costs reduced.
A typical use for the IMC Contor is with CNC machines. Using the spindle test routine, a quick test can be performed prior to operation to check the bearing condition and any abnormal vibration is immediately notified. Maintenance can be carried out before more damage occurs.
