EPRO MMS6140

  • Four Channels: Monitors vibration levels in four separate locations on the shaft simultaneously. This significantly enhances the ability to detect complex vibration patterns and pinpoint potential issues like imbalances, misalignment, or bearing wear in various sections of the shaft.
  • Sensor Compatibility: Likely compatible with two different sensor types:
    • Eddy Current Proximity Sensors: These convert relative changes in distance between the sensor and the shaft into electrical signals representing vibration.
    • Seismic or Piezoelectric Sensors: These sensors measure absolute vibrations of the machine housing, which can be helpful for identifying overall machine health and potential foundation problems.
  • Advanced Signal Processing: Performs advanced signal processing functions like filtering, amplification, and spectral analysis to extract meaningful vibration data and diagnose specific fault types. This allows for more precise identification of root causes of vibration problems.
  • Alarm Outputs: Provides multiple alarm outputs to trigger warnings or shutdowns based on vibration levels exceeding preset thresholds for each channel. This enables targeted preventive maintenance actions.
  • Communication Interface (の可能性:かのうせい) (Possible, but not confirmed): Might have an interface (e.g., RS232 or RS485) for communication with a host computer or SCADA system. This would facilitate data logging, remote monitoring, and configuration changes.
  • Advanced Features (Possible): Depending on the specific variant, the EPRO MMS6140 might offer additional features like:
    • Phase Analysis: Allows for analyzing the phase relationship between vibration signals from different channels, which can be crucial for identifying certain types of faults like gearmesh problems.
    • Overall Vibration Values: May calculate overall vibration parameters like velocity (RMS) or acceleration (g) for each channel, providing a broader picture of machine health.
