Using Orbit plots in VibInspect
Using orbit plot to analyze vibrating screens, sieves and separators
A vibrating screen, just as many other similar equipment, is designed to move in a specific pattern. An orbit plot analysis uses multi-directional vibration data to visualize the trajectory of the machine in question, and provides the user with important information regarding the operating status of the screen. If the motion pattern differs from the intended, it is an indication that something is wrong with the screen and that it is not performing as it should. Orbit plot analysis are used both for predictive maintenance and process monitoring, e.g. through detecting anomalies and failures mode before they occur.
With the help from ReLog vibration data logger and VibInspect analysis software, our customers can in an easy way measure vibrations and analyze how the screen is performing.
Understanding vibrating screens & rotating machinery
Use orbit plots to monitoring the operating behavior of vibrating screens or other rotating machinery. Using an orbit plot analysis from a healthy machine gives you a reference when performing future measurements. The orbit plot analysis can help to detect:
- Unbalance
- Broken springs
- Uneven feeding across the screen media
- Etc.
