Preventing Downtime & Optimizing Performance
Did you know that even slight changes in the performance of your production equipment can be an indication of a potential problem? These changes can be hard to detect without the right tools and the problems can start unexpectedly and quickly escalate, even between service intervals.
Condition monitoring technology from Banner helps you identify and address issues before they become severe and cause damage to your equipment or result in unplanned downtime.
There are many types of conditions that can be monitored, but vibration and temperature are two key conditions to monitor on motors, compressors, pumps, fans, and other machines with rotating motion.
Vibration and temperature Sensors, like our QM30VT Series detect slight changes in machine health and performance, enabling early identification of mechanical issues. Similarly, an unusual rise in current draw on equipment can be an indication of a potential problem with an asset or even a problem with a downstream or upstream component that is putting stress on the asset. Current sensors, like our Split Core Current Transformers or our recently released Rogowski Coil Current Sensor, monitor current flow so you can stay ahead of potential problems, reduce energy consumption, and optimize equipment performance.
A vibration sensor can reveal data about your process, including machine state and workload, motor misalignment, bearing condition, and more. Read the article.
Read the application story to learn how split-core current transformers helped a paper mill uncover a critical problem with their water pumps.
Continuously monitoring voltage using our AC Voltage Sensor helps you get a comprehensive view of equipment health and improves the accuracy of power calculations. This sensor can be used with our AC current sensors and Asset Monitoring Gateway with SNAP ID for a turn-key power monitoring solution.
Read how monitoring pressure levels in a large liquid-coolant system helped operators quickly identify potential maintenance issues on an industrial refrigeration system.
Monitoring moisture in compressed air lines helped a manufacturer of semiconductor components prevent product quality issues. Read the application story to learn how.
Another key condition to monitor is pressure. Unusual increases or decreases in fluid, air, or gas transmission on hydraulic and pneumatic systems can be indicative of underperforming equipment as well as a warning of a more serious problem.
Differential Pressure Sensors measure the pressure difference between two points in an industrial system to ensure that they operate as intended and our versatile S15C Analog Pressure Sensors can be used with a pre-configured Modbus converter to easily bring fluid or gas pressure measurements into a Snap Signal system. Likewise, an S24 Dew-Point Sensor can provide users with greater insight into air quality in compressed air systems. This helps to prevent equipment damage as well as product-quality problems caused by excess moisture.
Condition monitoring offers a wide range of benefits, such as:
• Preventing unplanned downtime by identifying and addressing problems early.
• Reducing expenses by making more informed decisions about assets.
• Increasing equipment efficiency and lifespan by tracking performance over time.
And there are a wide range of metrics you can capture, including vibration, temperature, current, pressure, humidity, tank level, and more. Fortunately, Banner offers a wide range of sensors that simplify condition monitoring.
