Schaeffler (UK) has launched Detector III - the latest addition to the wide portfolio of damage diagnosis instruments from FAG Industrial Services.
A high percentage of machine failures and problems can often be attributed to imbalances or faulty alignment. These conditions can in turn lead to increased wear of machine components during operation, which in turn can lead to unplanned machine and plant stoppages over time if they are not detected in good time.
This is a costly exercise for businesses and can be easily prevented by investing in the right detection systems.The Detector series is a tried and tested and easy-to-use measuring system which can not only detect imbalances in machinery but also eliminate them.
The new addition to the range, the Detector III, can be used to balance any rotors or shafts in one or two planes and is available with an extended operational balancing function thanks to new redeveloped hardware.
As the operational balancing function is optional, it can be activated at a later stage if users wish to start with the basic function.The Detector III balancing device includes the full range of accessories required to carry out a balancing process such as sensory equipment, trigger, magnetic holder, reflection marks etc.
With a built-in step-by-step user dialogue, the Detector III series will allow even inexperienced operators to achieve a reliable and accurate balancing result. As well as retaining some of the familiar characteristics of the popular Detector series, the Detector III also has a number of new and improved features.
In addition to completely redeveloped 16-bit hardware, the new Detector III has increased storage space, a longer time signal and a new reporting function. It also features a second measurement channel for operational balancing, a new expanded keyboard and a new viewer for displaying signals.
