Description

The VE 100 portable vibration meter is the latest type of portable instrument on the vibration diagnosis market. It is a
powerful tool for every maintenance engineer, service technician and after sales technician who faces vibration problems on
rotating machines, motors and equipment.

The design offers 3 signal inputs (AC/DC) and 1 separate tachometer (trigger input). The second channel has the possibility
to use a triaxial sensor, so that all 3 channels can be measured simultaneously. Frequency analyses (FFT) are determined
in real time. Measurements can be displayed in acceleration, vibration velocity or displacement on the clearly arranged
colour display. In addition, there is a non-contact IR temperature sensor (for immediate storage temperature measurement)
and an LED stroboscope / flashlight.

The VE 100 is designed for one-handed operation with a weight of only 800 g and a battery life of more than 8 hours. This
makes it suitable for measurements over long distances over the entire working day. Due to the synchronized trigger input,
the VE 100 is ideally suited for balancing in one or two planes as well as determining order analyses.
The expert system can automatically detect machine errors according to ISO 10816-3 such as unbalance, loosening (tilt
foot), misalignment and bearing errors. Depending on the selected machine category and the corresponding alarm value,
the measured vibration level is displayed in the traffic light colours green (normal), yellow (alarm) and red (danger).

The VE 100 also offers ultrasonic measurements. Typical applications are the detection of air leaks, electric arcs or the early
detection of bearing damage.

An 8GB internal memory provides enough storage of the measured data when collecting data in the field. The device makes
the data available via USB stick function on current Windows systems and enables easy data exchange for the diagnosis
and evaluation software VE-DC.

The VE 100 instrument can be configured beside the standard modules:

- Fast Check (meter)

- Expert system Diagnostic
- Stroboscope
- Analyzer or Balancer or Collector

according to your requirements by choosing optional modules:
