A Rugged and Portable Instrument Designed for your Environment


Whatever the source, water, steam or wind, measuring the vibrations on turbines efficiently and accurately is a key issue. The choice for a trustworthy analyzer is crucial for both manufacturers and power operators.
OROS offers dedicated solutions for your application.

Example of Application

Factory Acceptance Test

Machine shipment and installation requires so much that it must be carefully checked at the manufacturer site or service center. During the acceptance process, ORBIGate, the OROS turbomachinery testing solution, records the critical parameters, shows the typical displays of the rotor relative vibrations and positions. As in any production process the use is greatly facilitated through a dedicated interface and an automated process limiting the number of actions and choices. An automatic report, through a customized template can be edited and printed. Using the recorder, data can be stored during the acceptance process for post-analysis later if required.


Site acceptance test

The machine behavior can be different in the field because of the structural coupling with the foundation. Under those circumstances a field test has to be carried out to determine the mechanical impedance of the foundation. ORBIGate is used for the rotating tests and benefits of the OROS solutions range such as OROS Modal 2 for the other tests. The portability and ruggedness of OROS analyzers is key when doing these on-site tests. The Mobi-Pack, with its rugged case, would be the perfect equipment to get your measurement done . A user-friendly software interface as well as customized report templates are also important in these measurement environments.

 


Troubleshooting and Diagnostics

Troubleshooting and diagnostics operations require a diverse set of testing tools. The issue is always to reduce the vibration level, but the origin can be from multiple sources: high excitation due to unbalance, misalignment or instabilities or high structural coupling with the machine and its foundation. In this case, a number of tools such as ORBIGate, Modal 2, Balancing, or NVGate® the general platform for noise and vibration analysis may be required to solve the issue.
If you are a consultant, you would need portable and rugged equipment such as the Mobi-Pack.
OROS can also offer you solutions for monitoring with some unique network capabilities.
