Portable Wireless Vibration Analyzer - ARGUS

ARGUS Tri-axial wireless vibration analyzer brings a new dimension to the world of predictive maintenance to easily diagnose the health of motors and any connected driven assets like pumps, fans, compressors, etc. It enables easy condition monitoring of rotary machines and detects faults well before the equipment failure. ARGUS reduces maintenance costs and increases an asset's lifespan.

The super-compact, IP65 rated vibration sensor provides reliable data for continuous monitoring and remote diagnostics. This portable sensor simultaneously measures vibration in three directions and is used as both a Single-axial sensor & a Tri-axial sensor. The dedicated ARGUS app allows you to view and store the RMS values of Velocity & Acceleration, Time waveform, Velocity & Acceleration FFT spectrums on the smartphone. ARGUS can be mounted in any environment using a magnet, adhesive, and stud.

FAQ

What is predictive maintenance?

Predictive maintenance is a proactive strategy that uses data analysis to predict equipment failures, by installing sensors and monitoring various signal patterns at different points in the equipment. Initially, the health status of the equipment is ascertained, and based on the present health status and the trend towards failure, the safe operation period is determined. By estimating the likely time by which the equipment will reach to the severe status, the maintenance can be scheduled at the optimal time before failure occurs. This reduces the operational and the downtime costs, and thereby, increasing the reliability.

How do I use ARGUS portable vibration analyzer?

ARGUS is a handy, light-weight, and easy-to-use portable wireless vibration analyzer. One can use Argus for on-the-spot analysis – quick collect option - by keeping the sensor at the bearing or any other point, connecting it to the mobile-app and viewing acceleration, velocity and displacement parameters instantly. Argus provides immediate health status as Normal, Marginal, or Critical. Experienced users can view the time and frequency plots and diagnose the nature of the fault directly at the equipment itself. If the faults and the corrective procedures are simple like loose-foundation or less-lubrication, then corrective actions can be initiated and checked whether the fault levels have reduced or not.

What is machine condition monitoring?

Machine condition monitoring is the continuous assessment of machinery health to detect faults early; much before the fault results in the failure of the machine. This involves techniques like vibration analysis, current signature analysis, acoustic signature analysis and thermal imaging to collect real-time data, and interpreting the data using ML and AI-based analytic tools. The benefits of machine condition monitoring include increased reliability and availability of the machine at reduced maintenance costs. Further, this process aids in advanced maintenance planning, resulting in extending the lifespan of the machine.

Is there a limit to the number of assets I can connect to the app or measure with one sensor?

No. The user can monitor an unlimited number of assets with one ARGUS portable vibration analyzer. The data of all the assets is stored in the mobile and can be viewed or dumped to a PC or cloud by the user.

What is the data communication technology for ARGUS?

Portable version of ARGUS uses Bluetooth communication between the sensor and the mobile. The online version of ARGUS sends the data from the sensor to the cloud using WiFi communication.

What devices/operating systems are supported by ARGUS vibration analyzer?

The ARGUS mobile app works well with the Android version 10 and above, and is compatible with all makes of smartphones and tablets. The ARGUS apk file for the mobile app is distributed through official mail released by the technical support team of SANDS.

Can I monitor the structural vibrations with ARGUS portable vibration analyzer?

Yes, the ARGUS portable vibration analyzer can be used for a wide range of applications, including high frequency bearing vibrations and low frequency structural vibrations. Further, specific components in the vibration signature can be monitored by selecting a suitable configuration like window function, sampling frequency and acceleration dynamic range. All configuration parameters can be set directly from the mobile app itself at the site.

Are you providing product DEMO for ARGUS vibration analyzer?

Yes, we provide both online and offline demo for ARGUS. We also undertake proof of concept (PoC) demonstration if the customer wishes to see the operation for extended period of time prior to finalizing the solution.

The magnet base will not stick to my asset. What can I do?

We provide two solutions for non-magnetic surfaces/assets. The first and the easy option is to fix a magnetic/steel mounting pad by epoxy. We also provide adjustable round clips which can be wrapped around the asset, for example aluminum cast motor casings of diameter less than 6 inches. The next option is to hold the sensor by hand, as carried out in the traditional method for single axis portable analyzers.
