Vibration sensors with IO-Link
Condition monitoring: machine condition always in view
ifm’s VVB vibration sensor is used for permanent, real-time monitoring of vibrations in simple industrial machinery. Even minimal deviations from the ideal machine condition will affect the vibration pattern. This makes it possible to detect imminent machine damage at an early stage. Plant operators can act with foresight and anticipate maintenance needs to avoid costly production downtimes.
Features of the IO-Link vibration sensor:
- Permanent monitoring of the relevant indicators for fatigue, impact, friction and temperature
- Seamless integration directly into industrial Ethernet systems, no control cabinet or extensive wiring required
- Raw signal capture for advanced damage analytics
- Integrated machine operating hours counter based on the vibration velocity
- Faster data transmission thanks to IO-Link COM3 interface
