A new online condition monitoring device for industrial plant and machinery has been introduced by Schaeffler. The new FAG SmartCheck monitors vibration and temperature, plus a range of other machine and process specific parameters such as pressure and flow rate. The device can also be used as a machine condition guard with safety switch-off.
The device is well suited for the online monitoring of small, process critical and non-process critical plant and machinery, including machine tools, spindles, motors, drives, pumps, compressors, HVAC systems and gearboxes.
By using new patented diagnosis technology, FAG SmartCheck can help companies to optimise their manufacturing processes, whilst maximising plant availability.
AG SmartCheck is easy to operate and requires no special programming skills or knowledge. The scope of delivery includes a number of machine and process specific parameter templates, which enable the system to be operational within minutes. Basic operating functions can be carried out via integrated pushbuttons, and visual alarms are indicated via LEDs located on the front of the device housing.
