A new ‘window’ to route-based condition analysis

| By Chemical Engineering

This company’s new Maintenance Pad is a rugged route-based condition-monitoring data collector and analyzer with IP 65 and MIL-STD-810G certification for operation virtually anywhere. Using wireless sensors and measurement modules makes setup quick and safe without cables and minimizes the time spent close to the measured machine. Sensors have built-in memory and can be left in the field, logging data for later download. The Maintenance Pad is a fully functional industrial tablet computer with the company’s Machine Analyzer software, which includes route planning, route and off-route measurements, as well as efficient tools for vibration analysis. With Microsoft Windows, a familiar working environment is provided for the operator as well the possibility to extend the use with commercially available software. — Metso Corp., Helsinki, Finland
