Fluke Corp has introduced the Fluke 805 FC Vibration Meter,
a portable multi-function vibration screening tool that provides quantifiable
information on the bearing and overall health of motors and other rotating
equipment, and shares that data in real time via Fluke Connect.
The Fluke 805 FC is ideal for frontline mechanical
troubleshooting teams that need reliable and repeatable measurements of
rotating equipment to make imperative go/no-go maintenance decisions.
Vibration screening is a critical part of motor maintenance
and trending measurement data over time provides invaluable insight into
long-term motor health. The 805 FC automatically saves vibration data
wirelessly to Fluke Connect cloud storage so authorised team members can view all
of the measurement data for each asset with the Fluke Connect app on their
mobile devices before they leave the inspection site.
With EquipmentLog technicians and managers can get all of
their measurement data in one place to get the complete asset story.
EquipmentLog history lets technicians assign measurements to specific
equipment, creating a cloud-based history of all test measurement data (e.g.
vibration, electrical, infrared images) for easy access during both
troubleshooting and reliability maintenance.
Technicians can also share measurements with other team
members in real time with ShareLive video calls to get approvals for repairs
or get questions answered without leaving the field.
The 805 FC has a unique sensor tip design that minimises
measurement variations caused by device angle or contact pressure. This reduces
operator error and improves the accuracy and repeatability of quick vibration
screening. The meter also provides a severity scale for both overall vibration
and bearing condition readings, delivering more information than typical
vibration pens.
