May 26, 2006   Wilcoxon’s Loop Powered Sensors

Wilcoxon’s Loop Powered Sensors (LPS) provide a 4-20 mA output signal proportional to the overall vibration level. Process control systems such as a PLC or DCS commonly accept this type of output. By connecting into process control systems, you are able to monitor machinery condition without the investment and learning curve commonly associated with traditional vibration monitoring systems, including data collection and custom software.

Until recently, the most common method to obtain a 4-20mA signal for vibration was to connect a separate transmitter signal conditioner to a standard accelerometer. LPS™ contain an accelerometer and miniaturized transmitter all within the sensor that can be connected directly to your PLC or DCS for continuous monitoring and data trending. Wilcoxon lives up to its goal of Total Lower Cost of Ownership (TLC) by making online vibration monitoring available at a fraction of the cost.

Wilcoxon’s LPS™ transducers are available in a wide range of options, including dual output of dynamic vibration data, integral cable connectors and explosion proof casings, as well as a selectable full scale range in terms of acceleration or velocity. This family of sensors has grown to include side exit units and an included temperature sensor, and offers the widest range of options available for 4-20 mA vibration sensors.

Maintenance Requests at Your Convenience

Improve user satisfaction and maintenance productivity with xmWEB™, software from MicroMain that allows you to send maintenance service requests via the Internet.

xmWEB also allows users to easily check on the status of their request. At their convenience—at any time and from any location—users can view up-to-date work status from their desktop or any web-enabled handheld device.

Rather than calling the maintenance department, staff or tenants use xmWEB to submit requests and check work status electronically. Because this is so convenient, you enhance user satisfaction. You also improve maintenance productivity because work requests include all needed information.

With xmWEB, service requests automatically generate work orders. Users can also have an email automatically sent to designated recipients, such as building managers or maintenance supervisors.

The xmWEB module is used with the MicroMain XM™ computerized maintenance management system. All work requests are automatically entered into the CMMS database, which provides data for reports.

Without any client software to install, xmWEB offers low total cost of ownership. Save money and improve maintenance workflow…simply!

May 26, 2006   Condition Based Maintenance Made Easy

Condition Based Maintenance made easy with the new
X-Viber and the X-Trend software system.

This instrument is designed for Condition Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance work without the need for “expert” interpretation. This rugged instrument is suitable for the harshest environments and the general idea behind the whole system is simplicity for you the user.

The X-Viber can measure Overall Vibration Levels, Enveloping, and Bearing Condition with selected frequency ranges and measurement units. It can also record the five highest vibration amplitudes and the related frequency (RPM), plus it has a no-contact sensor for measuring speed and temperature.

The expert X-Trend software system allows you to create a route in your PC. You choose the parameter you want to measure, Vibration/Temperature etc. and set alarm levels then download the route into the instrument. After you have recorded the values you simply upload it back to the computer, and the X-Trend expert software automatically trends the measurements for you to view.

Why not download a copy of the software now from our site?

The cost of the X-Viber including the X-Trend software is $4,482.00.
