Online condition monitoring system
19 October 2015
Alloy and special steel manufacturer Sandvik Materials Technology in Sandviken, Sweden, is preparing to equip critical production equipment with online condition monitoring in order to increase machine availability and ensure reliable operation while also further improving worker safety.
A total of 13 hydraulic pumps supporting units 'Forging 71' and 'Power cutter 2' will be equipped with online system Intellinova Compact and 50 accelerometers of the recently launched model DuoTech, a new accelerometer combining vibration measurement with the newly-developed and patented measuring technique HD Enveloping and shock pulse measurement with SPM HD.
Preventive maintenance engineer, Hans Andersson, explains the company's investment: "The key reason behind this investment is our quest for a reliable plant with high machine availability, which is much easier to accomplish with online monitoring, and also that it will improve worker safety for our preventive maintenance inspectors.”
For two years, Sandvik Materials Technology has also been using the handheld instrument Leonova Diamond for route-based measurement on key equipment.
