CIEAM gratefully acknowledges the sponsorship support of Spectraquest and UE Systems, who have kindly donated a Machinery Fault Simulator and Ultraprobe 9000 respectively.
This equipment provides more accurate results to the 'Condition monitoring of low speed machinery' and 'Integrated decision systems' components of CIEAM's Intelligent Diagnostics & Remnant Life Prediction research programme.
Machinery Fault Simulator (MFS)
The MFS is a comprehensive Laboratory Scale Machine for performing rotor dynamics experiments and learning vibration signatures of the most common machinery faults.
In-depth studies of a variety of faults can be conducted using over 28 application specific option kits supplied by SpectraQuest.
Ultraprobe® 9000
The Ultraprobe 9000 Kit Complete is a digital ultrasonic inspection, information storage and retrieval system particularly useful for low speed machinery.
Ultrasound inspection provides early warning of bearing failure, detects lack of lubrication, prevents over lubrication and can be used on high as well as low speed bearings. And, since ultrasound is a high frequency, short wave signal, background noises can be filtered out to focus on the specific item to be inspected.
