Introduction to the SKF GX Series Microlog
What is the GX Series Microlog System?
The GX-F Microlog
The
GX-F
model is a fully loaded high-level
ROUTE based
data collector / analyzer that
has all the current modules pre-licensed from the SKF factory:
•
Setup
•
Sensor Setup
•
Route
•
Analyzer / Bump Test
•
Balancing
•
Run Up / Coast Down
•
Frequency Response Function
•
Spindle Test
•
Data Recorder
•
Check to Conformance
•
Idler Sound Monitor
GX-A – The Base Model Microlog
Whereas the previously described GX
-R, -M, and –F Microlog models all arrive with the
ROUTE module
pre-licensed and so communicate with SKF @ptitude Analyst to provide
R
OUTE based data collection, the GX
-A model has only the Setup modules pre-licensed,
and is therefore described as the “base model” Microlog. Modules pre-licensed on the
GX-A model include:
•
Setup
•
Sensor Setup
Additional module licenses are then purchased for the GX-A to provide a customized
GX-A setup for specific machinery monitoring needs. For example, vibration analysts in
a motor repair shop might purchase the GX-A model Microlog with the Check to
Conformance, Analyzer, and Balancing module licenses. If they then expand their
operation and need
to conduct ROUTE based condition monitoring, they can purchase
the ROUTE module’s license
(or any other module license) as needed.
@ptitude Analyst Host Software
SKF’s @ptitude Analyst support software works with the Microlog to help machinery
maintenance personnel set up
ROUTE
measurements and manage machine condition
data.
@ptitude Analyst host software helps maintenance personnel to understand the true
condition of their rotating machinery and to base maintenance decisions on actual
machinery condition.
@ptitude Analyst host software facilitates easy measurement set up and presents
collected machinery data in statistical, report, and graphic plot format to obtain useful
analysis data.
