Increased industrial fan performance with SKF
SKF's fan upgrade solutions offers a 'systems approach' to fan maintenance and reliability that will help industrial facilities increase fan performance while decreasing maintenance and downtime.
SKF Y-bearing units designed to take the heat
The latest generation of Y-bearing units for extreme temperatures from SKF are optimising productivity and minimising costs in a diverse variety of industrial applications
As the cards are fully software configurable, specification, installation and training are simplified, while spares stocks and service times are reduced.
The VM600 is powerful and offers a full raft of features, yet it remains easy to learn and to use.
Running under Windows 98, NT, 2000, XP and SQL Server, on standard networks, full remote access with multi-level security is also available.
It is suitable for use in many demanding industries including power generation, oil and gas production and distribution, petrochemical processing, gas turbine marine propulsion - typically, any area where high-value, critical rotating machinery is employed.
Traditionally, separate systems have been provided for machinery protection, on-line condition monitoring and machinery performance assessment.
The VM600 Series, however, uses the latest digital signal processing technology and industry standard communications interfaces to deliver an integrated, modular, scaleable solution, within a single system framework.
Only two types of signal processing modules are required - one for protection and one for condition and performance monitoring data acquisition.
Each card can perform all necessary signal processing with input from any appropriate sensor.
Communication is over Ethernet Serial or Modbus links - using standard protocols, the device can be configured, interrogated and supported remotely, it offers dual redundant power supplies and communication links and one 6U rack can accommodate up to 48 protection channels or 192 condition monitoring/process inputs.
