3934 Motor-Driven Machines Certification

MS-3934: Vibration Analysis Studio iPadOS® version

If you have any questions that are beyond the scope of this document, Please feel free to email via info@sens-os.com

This module is designed to perform a vibration acceptance test in a machine using 4 triaxial points (12 readings).

This module is compatible with the following sensors:

Tap on the Sensor name button to open the list of available sensors, and select the sensor type from the list

Scroll the list of functionalities and select Motor-Driven Machines Certification.

Note: The user can change the order of the functionalities in the list by dragging it from the right button on each cell

In the settings pop-up set the sampling rate, number of samples, spectrum type and units. Also, set the vibration's threshold, user can set manual values for the thresholds or can use the vibration standards calculator included in the main menu left drawer, for more information refer to the Vibraton Standards feature in this document. Other settings changes such as cut-off value, filters and windowing can be changes in the Main Configuration, see Configuration for more details

Once the sensor is connected the start button '▶︎' will be enabled. Place the sensor in the position shown by the arrow and click on the start button '▶︎'. After the reading is done the arrow will move automatically to the next point, the user can navigate back or to the next point using the top bar arrows ⍇ and ⍈.

A full pdf report can be generated, saved or sent by clicking on the report button, see more info in: Generating a pdf Report.

From the Main menu, click the top left menu button to open the left drawer with more options. Select 'Configuration' from the left menu

Select the Plot Thickness, Cursor Thickness and/or Cursor Line Type from the Plot Settings selectors.

The Signal Settings will affect the raw data directly. The DC-Removal is ON by default by can be turned OFF here. Also a general Low-Pass or High_pass filter can be applied to the signal.

Note: This selection will affect all reading's raw data for all modules

The FFT Settings will be set as defaults for all readings. Here the user can change the spectrum frequency units to Hz, CPM or Orders. A Cut-Off value can be added to remove low frequency values. Also windowing can be selected for the spectrum, the available options are: None, Hanning, Hamming, Blackman, Nutall and Flat-Top. The spectrum type and RMS/Pk values can be set as defaults here, but can also be changed in the settings pop-up of the spectrum.

Clicking on the Report button will open a new view with the pdf report. The report will have the main screen as a frist page, the asset picture, if any in the second page, and one additional page for each point with the triaxial time-waveform and spectrum

The report view contains several options in the top bar menu: 1:Send by Email, 2:Save pdf locally, 3:Upload Report to the Cloud bucket, 4:Markup and 5:Report Configuration

The markup tool allows the user to copy the report to the clipboard, send it by Airdrop or any other messaging app, email it, print it or saved it to Files. The markup tool will open the standard tool to paint on the pdf report.

The Report Configuration pop-up allows the user to enter the Report Title, Machine ID and Notes to be added to the report. Here the user can also select a logo for the report and include a picture of the asset that will be added in a new page in the report. The report file name be default is the actual date and time, but the user can change it to the title name of the report or to both, the title name and date.

On the main menu click on the top bar left button to open the left drawer, then select the 'Vibration Standards' option.

On the ISO 10816-3 Standard tap on the selected group to get the vibration threshold values.

The Hydraulics Institute ANSI/HI 9.6.4 provides allowable vibration values for hydraulic pumps. Enter the machine Horsepower and pump type, then tap on the desired pump icon to get the allowable vibration value.

The ISO/TR 17243-1 provides vibration thresholds for spindles. Enter the machine Power and RPM, select the type of bearing and select the term condition to get the alert and danger thresholds.

The NEMA MG-1 provides vibration thresholds for electric motors. Enter the machine RPMto get the allowable vibration value.
