Find the perfect sensor solution
Challenge
The โtraditionalโ method of condition-based measuring and monitoring involves listening to and visually inspecting the equipment. This approach often results in imprecise and inconsistent data, especially unsuitable for monitoring planer spindles. It is vital to keep track of parameters like temperature and vibration during the production process to ensure the best possible operation. With manual periodic measurements, one is left with a limited set of values that do not reflect the equipmentโs actual state and do not indicate the development of trending values.
As vibration increases, the temperature rises,ย which progresses further under load. When abnormal sounds occur, it is often too lateconcerning irreversible equipment damage. Ifย a planer spindle fails, the spindle can undergo welding due to high temperatures, resulting in a costly replacement. This situation also halts the rest of the production.
CUSTOMER STORIES
Machine monitoring prevented breakdown in Bergene Holmโs production line
Solution
- With wireless Neuron vibration sensors, your business can monitor vibration and surface temperature of the planer spindle bearings in real-time, receiving continuous vibration and temperature data.
- The sensors are easy to install and has a battery life of up to 10 years. The Neuron system provides early warnings if the sensors detect abnormal values, allowing immediate action to prevent failures. The expense of a single replacement is significantly less than the cost of an unexpected production halt due to issues like spindle welding.
- Data is presented in a clear system in the Neuron app, which also displays graphs
where potential trending developments can be observed. This offers a good approach to predictive maintenance, minimizing corrective maintenance practices. - Additionally, a historical log of data can be used in condition-based analysis, such as rootย cause analysis based on specific events.
