The flexible core of the modular vibration sensing system
Core of the VibroFlex system, the Connect+ front-end delivers latest- generation FPGA-based signal processing, decoding raw measu rement data into displacement, velocity and acceleration with full signal conditioning and versatile analog and digital outputs.
Connect+ supports flexible, application-specific setups with up grade options, a phase-synchronous reference channel, an integ rated signal generator and encoder input for run-ups, order and rotational analysis. Control all relevant parameters via PC, the 7“ color touchscreen or browser-based WiFi access. The no-touch concept keeps operators away from the test object and eliminates any influence on the measurement
VibroFlex – the new flexibility of laser vibration measurement.
