MachineGuard Fixed Systems
Our systems are designed to detect many potential catastrophes before they occur including seized gearboxes, conveyor fires and bearing failures.
Cost Effective Solutions
Our MachineGuard fixed continuous monitoring products enable us to monitor the health and performance of critical machinery and equipment in a diverse range of working environments and industry sectors.
These products are much more accessible to businesses in terms of cost than ever before. Flexibility comes as standard with systems deliverable as standalone, networked or web-based, ensuring users always have total control and support.
Fixed Continuous Monitoring
Most systems have thin film transistor (TFT) touchscreens with an easy-to-navigate menu that enables users to set sampling periods, ranges, and accuracy levels plus vibration threshold (alarm) levels on a channel-by-channel basis or across all channels. In addition, these systems have multiple digital I/O channels, enabling them to be integrated with other systems, such as SCADA, PLC’s, BEMS, etc.
Our customers have found their fixed systems to be a critical part of their plant. Systems are fitted with accelerometers to measure vibration and/or temperature of an asset, both vital parameters which are continuously monitored. When the accelerometers detect readings outside of the set limits, an alert is raised to allow the site Engineer to immediately attend the asset and assess the issue. Using these methods, issues can be detected much earlier than usual (i.e., when a bearing starts to make a noise) thus any remedial work required is much cheaper and can be planned in more conveniently.
Why Use a Fixed System?
Without a fixed system installed, a fault can go undetected for many weeks until eventually the asset can fail causing costly repairs, unplanned maintenance, and a higher risk of worker injury. Our systems are designed to detect many potential catastrophes before they occur including seized gearboxes, conveyor fires and bearing failures.
We also offer optional site visits at recommended intervals throughout the year depending on the complexity of the system and the number of assets being monitored. A detailed report is issued after each visit to confirm that the system is in full working order.
