Forming part of a revolutionary, complete system solution from Draeger Safety, the new Draeger PSS 7000 Breathing Apparatus (BA) has been specifically designed with the needs of firefighters in mind.  Developed by professionals for use in even the most hostile of environments, this innovative set boasts advanced technology as well as a modular design.  Enabling the set to be easily and quickly configured to suit different operational requirements, it also provides seamless integration with facemasks, head protection and communications equipment.

Easily upgraded to meet future needs, the Draeger PSS 7000 is the latest development in Draeger

A condition-monitoring program based on ultrasonics can catch problems before they turn into catastrophes, and can find leaks that could be costing you money.

An effective condition-monitoring program provides many benefits, ranging from improved asset availability to reduced energy consumption. One primary focus of condition monitoring is the status of bearings, whose health (or lack of it) can mean the difference between meeting production goals and causing chaos. Should even a single bearing fail, the consequences can be damaged equipment and product, a production run stopped, parts that must be ordered for repairs, and considerable man-hours wasted.

A program for monitoring bearing condition need not be extremely complicated, nor does it necessarily require a large investment of capital to get it going. One technology that is both cost-effective and relatively easy to incorporate in such a program is air-borne/structure-borne ultrasound.

PRÜFTECHNIK, the vibration analysis specialists have introduced a new FFT analyzer and data collector to their range of condition monitoring systems.

According to the company this new addition uses the latest microchip technology to make the system one of the fastest FFT analyzers on the market.

Other innovations such as an automatic light sensitive keyboard and high resolution backlit screen for easy viewing in any light conditions, long battery life, 102,400 lines of resolution and massive on board memory capability which is upgradeable to 1 gigabyte ensures that the VIBXPERT will be a major addition to the condition monitoring market.

The system measures and records all forms of machine vibrations, bearing condition, as well as process and inspection data. For the diagnosis of complex vibration conditions VIBXPERT provides comprehensive analysis functions such as order spectrum, cepstrum, orbit, phase, cross phase analysis and coast down measurement.

PRÜFTECHNIK Condition Monitoring presents the VIBROWEB; a new, automated monitoring and diagnosis system for production-critical machines and systems.

VIBROWEB is completely autonomous, running without PC connection which makes it particularly suitable for applications in distributed and out-of-the-way machine parks (pump stations, pipelines,...).

The modular and flexible system configuration keeps investment and installation costs low and also enables the economic integration of VIBROWEB into existing monitoring infrastructures. VIBROWEB is designed to allow the logical connection of almost every type of sensor (ICP, DMS, LineDrive,...).

The signal conditioning for each channel is carried out with the aid of special plug-in cards that are simple to replace as and when required. Of the 32 analog measurement channels, two can be measured simultaneous, with other channels available for rpm measurements (8x) and for digital inputs and outputs (each 4x).

A new variant of the MG4 has been introduced. Called MG4-Ref11, it has been developed for the pulp and paper industry for continuous monitoring of refiners.
 
Refiner disc segments getting in contact with each other cause the segments to break. Spare segments are expensive and the margin of error in this application is very small. This requires measuring equipment to be extremely fast. The MG4-Ref11 has been adapted to these requirements and has a measuring cycle of approximately 0.4 seconds for shock pulse measurements.
