TurboBalancer 4
Mechtell's 4th generation portable 24 channel vibration data acquisition and display instrument. It is designed for vibration analysis and balancing on large turbine-generators and other heavy rotating machinery.
Features:
- Small and portable (an 11 pound lunchbox)
- Built in data collection and storage capabilities (solid state hard drive)
- Onboard data display with mouse and keyboard. External USB mouse supported.
- Remotely and locally accessible and controllable via network
- Included remote PC software is the same as the built-in software to minimize the user learning curve
- Concurrent remote PC connections can be made to a single TB4 unit through a connected network
- Saved data can be retrieved via network connection or USB jump drive for review on any PC with the TB4 software
- Multiple concurrently active jobs using any one of 3 independent shaft references and any portion or combination of 24 input channels
- Accepts various displacement, velocity, and accelerometer pickup types. Corrects for pickup type characteristics to display true angle and amplitude at all speeds
- Allows for reference angle, pickup angle and runout correction to provide a true view of shaft movement
- Works with most types of shaft reference signals without adapters
- Real time datapoint windows can display any combination/order of 1x, 2x, and filter out X/Y data you desire. Filter out and 1x amplitude are also shown on an optional horizontal bar plot
- Automatic time and speed based data acquisition as set by the user
- High amplitude or high vector change emergency save can be set independently for each datapoint. On an emergency event, a high frequency save will be initiated, capturing data from both before and after the event.
- Plot windows display any combination of plot types and displays of both real time and saved data
- Plot types include Polar, Bodie, Amp-Time, Frequency Scan, Cascade, Orbit/Time Domain, Shaft Centerline
- For a more focused analysis, plot windows allow a range or subset of the saved data to be selected for display.
- Designed specifically for use on large power generation equipment.
