Fault Source Identification and Diagnostics Tool
This tool is included in the Adash 4900 - Vibrio M. It is good message for users, because such function
has never been built in the instrument in this price category. This function display several bar graphs
with traffic light colours. Two major (largest) bars are allocated to general machine condition ( on the
left side) and ball bearing condition (on the right side).
The next three bars are located in the middle. They display the severity level of UNBALANCE,
LOOSENES and MISALIGNMENT (from the top).
Measurement Points
The measurement location must enable repeatable measurements under the same conditions as the
previous measurement. Also the direction of sensor ( radial, axial for rotated machines) is important.
That is why you should determine measurement points on the machine. The typical machine together
with the measurement points on the picture.
For the measurement in radial direction, we are going to place the sensor perpendicularly to the axis
of rotation, for axial measurement along the axis. The radial measurement can be usually performed
horizontally, vertically or in another angle. The importance of the angle choice should not be
overstressed; choose any radial direction with easy access.
