What is a Vibration Monitoring System?

A vibration monitoring system is a set of tools used to measure one or more parameters to identify machine health changes. Monitoring these parameters helps identifying early faults like imbalance, bearing faults, looseness, misalignment, and others. New vibration monitoring systems using wireless transmission and long-life batteries are now replacing the industrial wired accelerometers all over the world.

Introducing our Vibration Monitoring System | Phantom™

Phantom™ is a wireless vibration monitoring system that integrates other parameters such as temperature, current, speed, and general purpose values such as pressure, flow, and tank level into a single diagnosis system. Additionally, our sensors have an exceptional battery life of up to 100,000 measurements, and they are very easy to install. Equally important, Phantom™ can send data to a local database or to our cloud-based system, EI-Analytic™. At any moment, you can track your machinery condition using any device such as a smartphone, computer, or a tablet.

Why is Vibration Monitoring Important?

Phantom™ vibration monitoring systems will help you to predict machine failures and save huge costs due to unscheduled production down times. For example, the following list is the most common failures that can be identified with our condition monitoring system:

Bearing Failure Stage I, II, III, and IV
Imbalance
Shaft and Bearing Wear
Mechanical Looseness
Misalignment
Electrical Noise
Resonance
Among others…

Vibration Monitoring System Easy to Install

Wireless technology in vibration monitoring has been developed in response to unmet needs of simplicity, for installation as well as industrial cabling requirements. With this in mind, our wireless sensors are very easy to install.

Adhere the base to your machine
Screw the Phantom wireless sensor to the base
Configure the software. It is as easy as that!

Finally, the connection of the sensors to the gateway will be done automatically and securely without intervention.

Wireless Triaxial Accelerometer

Take measurements wireless from the best vibration collector in the market

Wireless Vibration Monitoring System

Also, our vibration monitoring system uses ultra-low power BLE 5.0 technology. Therefore, our wireless sensors can achieve up to 100,000 measurements without the need to change the battery.

Phantom™ technology is the most reliable online wireless machine health monitoring system on the market, providing distance ranges of up to 100 meters in line-of-sight. One of our clients even stated: “Phantom is the magic unicorn system we’ve been looking for.”

Convenience

Sometimes it is just too difficult to place sensors and wires all the way from a machine to a control room. Wireless sensors can be placed anywhere within the range.

Low Cost

If you have a PDA or a cellular phone, you easily understand why going wireless is much more cost-effective than wires. Cabling long distances can be quite expensive compared to wireless sensors.

Accessibility

Certain places on machines are simply not accessible with wires. Wireless Sensors might be a solution for that.

Security

The signal from the Phantom sensors is encrypted, which ensures your information reliability and data security.

Modbus Universal Communication

Phantom™ Wireless Sensors now include Modbus TCP/IP which is a widely known and used universal communication protocol for industrial control applications. Thus, making them compatible with any PLC, Scada system, or any other Modbus TCP/IP communicating software. Applications:

Scada systems for control automation
PLC for machinery control and protection
ERP software such as SAP
Integration with self-designed applications with free APIs
Connecting wireless sensors

Simultaneous Data Collection With Phantom Sync

We understand that sometimes it’s essential to diagnose the physical condition of machines from different points in their structure. However, conventional sensors only allow for sequential data capture.

The Phantom system allows you to place multiple triaxial vibration sensors at various points on your machine and synchronize them to take measurements simultaneously. This provides you with a clear and precise picture of your machine’s condition. Additionally, you can configure them to be activated by a command sent by a current or RPM sensor.

Meet the Phantom™ Thermographic Camera

With the Phantom Thermal Camera, you can accurately measure the temperature of any surface within a one-meter range.

Vibration Monitoring Online Cloud | EI-Analytic™

Finally, meet our cloud-based database EI-Analytic™ service for Phantom™ vibration monitoring system. It provides simple accessibility through a web-browser or mobile app. Additionally, our cloud allows direct connections from the DigivibeMX® software for data management, just as if the database was locally hosted.

No Software Costs

Moreover, our vibration monitoring system includes the powerful vibration analysis software DigivibeMX® Phantom™ without any limitation. In summary, with DigivibeMX®, you can perform a deep analysis on each spectrum and signal, as well as identify the tendency of vibrations.

Machine Learning

Another key point in the Phantom™ system is the powerful machine learning models for your machinery vibration. During a period (configurable), Phantom™ will learn from the vibration of your machine to identify a “normal” behavior.
