Engine Vibration and Balancing Principles
What do you think when you’re flying home, cruising at 30,000 feet and the drinks have just been served? Our engineers think about the ripple in the glass. That ripple signals vibration and is an indication that the engine may be in need of a balance. The MTII’s PBS-4100+ Series Turbine Vibration Analyzer/Balancing System was developed to ensure that Turbine engines run as efficiently as possible. Excessive vibration is detrimental for a host of reasons: energy intended for useful output is instead expended on the vibration vibration manifests as acoustic energy (noise), again wasting otherwise useful energy excessive [...]
Laser Thickness Gauge System Principles
The Microtrak™ 3 TGS system is specifically designed for thickness applications utilizing two lasers. The product can be used in a standalone configuration or easily interfaced with PLCs and PCs. Each module contains an integral LCD display and keypad for setup and display of measurements. A USB serial port also allows control by a laptop computer. Basic PLC or control input/output is provided by discrete digital I/O lines or a Modbus® interface. Laser Triangulation Principle The Microtrak™ 3 TGS system uses the principle of laser triangulation to perform a one dimensional measurement of a target. The [...]
