Cost-effective Protection of BoP Machines

Best Practices for fans, pumps, compressors, hydro turbines and other important assets.

Our Key Account Manager, Wilfried Morbitzer has 30+ years of experience in vibration measurement, machine protection and condition monitoring.
Wilfried will present reliable & cost-effective solutions to protect important rotating equipment. Increased availability, reduced repair and maintenance cost are the result of early warnings about machine failures and damages.
Brüel & Kjaer Vibro has long & successful history in providing complete solutions including sensors, machine protection systems and diagnostics tools for machinery with rolling element as well as sleeve bearings.

Description : You will learn to select the right monitoring strategy to protect individual components within your machine train, e.g. motor, gearbox and blower. Find the appropriate measuring concept, e.g. for case vibration, relative shaft vibration and axial position. Decide about adequate sensors and measuring points, state of the art protection system and interfaces to machine control and condition monitoring systems.

The origins of SETPOINT and the VC-8000, Key technology and architecture milestones

Randy Chitwood has been fortunate to have led the development of several industry standard products while working for Bently Nevada. The 3300, 3500, System 1 and XL proximity transducers were some of the successful products developed under his leadership. In 2009 Randy left Bently Nevada and formed an engineering team to build the next generation machinery protection and condition monitoring system which eventually became known as the BK Vibro SETPOINT VC8000 system.

Description : In this 30 minute Webinar Randy will share the invention of the systems key technology (US Patent 9,323,766) and the market disruptive decision to converge machinery condition data with plantwide process data available in the OSI PI system.

Part 2: Power-Filtering plant measurement data to analyze, diagnose, report and act with immediate effect

Dr. Peter Kytka, Global Sales Specialist in Portable Instruments, provides a technical demonstration of Data Filtering, showing how to use the “Report & Route Manager” (ReO) software to extract value from the accumulated “Big data” collected from performing periodic route inspections, within a large plant / asset, typically over many years This filtering approach crosses over into measurement reporting.

This Webinar (Part 2) is a sequel to Part 1, which showed the “Complete Cycle of Data Collection in 6 Steps”. Peter has been at the forefront of portable instrument technologies for the past 10 years, has studied this topic extensively and was awarded a PHD in mechanical engineering for his thesis “Robust Control Concepts applied to flexible mechanical structures “.

Description : We will show how filtering can be implemented in a simple, intuitive way, based on simple clicks and following the approach of “what you see is what you get”. We begin by showing the holistic filter approach, filtering on “Date/Time + Machine + Measurement Type + Alarm State”. We will then show how the same approach can also be applied to the measurement reporting. What will your benefits be? Learn how to Filter, Report and Print out effortlessly reaching informed decisions in record time, saving your asset plant manager unplanned stoppages and money. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A session, where the opportunity will be provided to ask questions and discuss your applications – with the answers being demonstrated live in the ReO software.
