3-axis IO-Link vibration sensor for smart condition monitoring
Gain valuable insights into the health of your machinery with the new VVB3 condition monitoring sensor. The VVB3 sensor continuously detects vibration in three axes and additionally measures the surface temperature of non-rotating components. From these values, the smart sensor determines the machine’s “vitals”. With its wide frequency range of 5,600 Hz, the sensor can detect anomalies, wear, bearing damage, insufficient lubrication or cavitation reliably and early. This allows you to react before any serious damage and increased follow-up costs can occur. With VVB3, you invest in regular check-ups to keep your equipment running smoothly and ensure there are no underlying problems. Are you ready to unlock the power of predictive maintenance and monitor the fitness of your machinery?
