Monitor vibrating machines using this app

The vibe2know app (photo) lets users monitor a vibrating machine’s current performance using a smartphone. To use it, the user simply inserts a smartphone into the specially designed magnetic mount (from the company) and attaches it to the equipment. The app measures vibratory amplitude, frequency, oscillating angle and operating speed, and enables the user to visualize the machine’s motion pattern. The ability to assess these parameters using this highly intuitive and easy-to-use app allows users to avoid sudden production outages and plan for timely maintenance interventions, says the company. — Schenck Process Holding GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany
