Portable intelligence

SPM Instrument has introduced its next generation of handheld measuring devices. The Leonova Diamond is a portable instrument for condition measurement in rough industrial surroundings. Heavy-duty yet sophisticated, it delivers powerful analysis and troubleshooting capabilities.

Building on the successful Leonova platform, Leonova Diamond has state-of-the-art digital technology and a robust, rugged design.

It is the first portable instrument offering the award-winning SPM HD measuring technique for condition monitoring of rolling element bearings. Able to reliably measure machine condition in the 1-20.000 RPM range, the method has broadened the potential scope of condition monitoring to include more machinery. SPM HD brings to light machine problems which are impossible to monitor with some traditional vibration measurement techniques.

Suitable both for the beginner and the advanced vibration analyst, Leonova Diamond offers sophisticated vibration analysis capabilities. The instrument has an excellent signalto- noise ratio and provides razorsharp spectrums even where signals are weak and low in energy content.

The wide frequency range - from 0 to 40KHz - enables measurement where absolute position is vital. For machinery with journal bearings, the instrument measures dynamic and centerline movement of the shaft.

Multi-channel measurement enables the use of triaxial transducers and multi-axes vibration monitoring while cutting long measuring routes to a minimum of time.

The powerful HD Order Tracking, applicable in an RPM range from just a few to thousands of revolutions per minute, enables precise measurements and detailed spectrums. On machinery operating under variable speed, vibration analysis with HD Order Tracking provides reliable data and crystal clear measuring results also under large RPM variations. Corrective maintenance techniques such as run up-coast down measurement, shaft alignment and dynamic balancing can be added as optional modules.

Stefan Lindberg, MD of SPM Instrument AB, says: "We have developed a high-performance instrument that will give long working life under the most demanding circumstances. Leonova Diamond puts portable intelligence and productivity in the palm of your hand."
