SKF Enlight Collect IMx-1

Automated machine monitoring for reliable rotation

SKF Enlight Collect IMx-1 is a scalable and easy to set up mesh sensor network for data collection, available on a fee and performance based contracts.

SKF Enlight Collect IMx-1 system consist of an autonomous battery powered wireless vibration and temperature sensor, a line powered communication and network manager gateway, an host software for data trending visualization and analysis and a mobile phone  app for sensor  and gateway commissioning. The sensor is a data-collector and radio combined into one compact battery operated device. It measures and processes vibration and temperature for detection of common issues with rotating equipment.

SKF Enlight Collect IMx-1 can detect and process common issues like:

  • Unbalance
  • Misalignment
  • Temperatures
  • Looseness
  • Electrically induced vibration
  • Early stage damage to bearings and gear

Features

  • Overall level and dynamic vibration data
  • Broadband acceleration and velocity measurements
  • SKF Acceleration Enveloping for early detection of defects in bearings and gears, and other impact type phenomena
  • Temperature measurement
  • Configurable data acquisition and processing
  • Periodic measurements
  • Mesh network communication
  • 4-year typical sensor battery lifetime (configuration dependent)
  • Rugged, compact design
  • Gateway is powered from an industrial, wide range, 24 V DC or PoE
  • Interfaces to wireless sensors (such as IMx-1), SKF App and software

Benefits

  • Replacement of manual machinery health data collection and/or widening monitoring coverage
  • Increase of the frequency of monitoring from months and weeks to days and hours
  • Makes automated data collection easier and more affordable
  • Data from machines in inaccessible locations or measurement points behind guarding
  • Quick and scalable deployment
  • Allows reduction of unplanned downtime by identifying and resolving problems before they result in costly machine failure
