Is there an existing balance and vibration monitor program for LabView for rotating machinery?

[Ramer]

I want to test generators for ballance and vibration, and shaft critical frequency. The data is to be collected automatically and reports generated preferably with LabView. Can I buy a written program as a starting point? I know of the Sound and Vibration Toolkit, and am willing to buy it, but still prefer to start with a verified package. Currently we are using a Bently-Nevada standalone system that is limited in its capability. We are installing a new data collection system so have a lot of flexability.

I did find an example that may be what you are looking for. Searching for "vibration rotating" a few things did come up one of the pages is:

There a few other resources like the In Vehicle Data-Logger Start Up Kit that does have a vibration analysis component.

Depending on your accuracy and sampling rate requirements you can probably refine the systems above. For a quick answer you can call NI and somebody should be able to direct you to a pre-written package on the NI web-site or something already developed by an Alliance Member that meets your needs: http://www.ni.com/contact.htm

Good Morning,

Yes, we can put together a written program for collecting balance and vibration data for generators. There is a new tool to be announced April 30th, that goes beyond the sound and vibration toolset for machinery monitoring. We can use LabVIEW and our Dynamic Signal Acquisition hardware to capture accelerometer data, encoder/keyphasor data, and other rotational parameters. We can provide an off-line analysis set of software as well, or report the data to any existing Computer Machine Maintenance Software (CMMS) you need us to work with.

I'd be happy to discuss this with you further.

Sir,

Whether the new tool has been announced? Can I know the name of the Tool?

Thanks,
