To control any process you need to measure. With the X-Viber you choose the parameter you want to measure and a frequency range.
But it offers much more than that.
This instrument is designed for Condition Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance work without the need for frequency analysis and "expert" interpretation.
Next step is to use the measure function. They will learn how the machine speed and the vibration frequencies are related to each other. By using this knowledge they can perform simple vibration analysis. They can even use the instrument for balancing.
It's all about risk management. The cost of vibration analysis instruments makes it a risky business. The low cost of the X-Viber has removed that risk.

This instrument allows the maintenance technician to learn condition monitoring as a step-by-step pr°Cess. First they learn how to establish a route of the plant equipment. Next they learn how and where to measure. They need to understand what they are measuring and decide if it is appropriate for the machine unit. They can now trend these measurement results and by using simple vibration charts, the ISO standard and bearing charts they can make a knowledgeable decision on the condition of the machine.
