Portable Vibration Meter
NEW
VW-3100

The VW-3100 is Portable Vibration Meter that combines the "listening," "measuring," and "judging" functions necessary for on-site vibration measurement into a single device.
As a manufacturer of measuring instruments, Ono Sokki can solve your problems with its vibration sensing and signal processing technologies.

Four key points of the VW-3100

1. Don't overlook any machine malfunctions.
Simultaneous display of acceleration, velocity, and displacement.
This prevents oversights and maximizes inspection efficiency.

2. Become an expert's "ear."
Variable filters accurately identify abnormal noises.
This is useful for passing on diagnostic techniques using a stethoscope.

3. Take all of the "evidence" from the scene with you.
Vibration measurement and recording were performed simultaneously.
Detailed diagnoses can be performed at our office.

4. Supports ISO evaluation, route inspection, and trend management.
With a variety of functions, including ISO 20816 evaluation and trend management, it powerfully assists vibration measurement.

To those responsible for handling unusual noise issues

To those responsible for handling unusual noise issues

The cause of the unusual noise is a vibration phenomenon.
Converting vibrations into sound and comparing them to past vibrations will speed up the process of identifying the cause.

For those having trouble detecting abnormalities

List of features

Standard Options

Vibration meter mode

In addition to four display modes (Single, Triple, Trend, List), it comes standard with an audio humming function and a bandpass filter.

  • Vibration meter mode

① Simultaneously measure three vibration values

assignment:
Despite regular inspections, the machines still break down.
The machine's malfunction hasn't been detected.

Solved:
To identify machine malfunctions, it's necessary to measure three vibration values (acceleration, velocity, and displacement). These values can be calculated and displayed simultaneously using the V3 band. This allows for accurate identification of abnormalities and improves work efficiency.

② Abnormal noises and signs of deterioration can be detected.

assignment:
I can't tell which one is the strange noise.
There is no difference in vibration values between normal and abnormal conditions.

Solved:
A variable bandpass filter allows you to freely set the frequency range and extract only specific frequency bands.

③ You can hear the vibration sound.

assignment:
The experience of skilled professionals and the sounds heard with a stethoscope
It cannot be shared or passed on to other workers.

Solved:
The sensor signal can be converted into sound and listened to. By narrowing the frequency range with a variable filter, it becomes easier to detect abnormal noises.
It can also be used as a tool to listen to "vibrational sounds" instead of a stethoscope.

Easily switch between four measurement screens.

By changing the perspective depending on the measurement, we can gain a better understanding of the phenomenon and improve the efficiency of the measurement.

  • Single: Check vibration value, rotation speed, and equipment name.

  • Trend: Understanding fluctuations in vibration values

  • Triple: Measures three vibration values simultaneously.

  • List: View all measured values at once

  • Easily switch between four measurement screens.

Optional Options

VW-0310 Equalizer function (optional feature)
VW-0310 Equalizer function (optional feature)

assignment:
It's difficult to distinguish between different sounds from a variety of other sounds, like a skilled professional can.

Solved:
The vibration sound can be increased or decreased in 1/1 octave band increments. By emphasizing unwanted sounds and reducing them, you can recreate the "hearing" of an expert and share key nuances.

VW-0320 Recording and comparison function (optional feature)
Simply press REC → START to perform a detailed analysis in the office.
Simply press REC → START to perform a detailed analysis in the office.
Recording function

assignment:
Bringing a data recorder is a hassle. Gathering people on-site to check for unusual noises is also troublesome.

Solved:
You can record while taking measurements and performing inspections. You can then take the recordings back to the office, listen to the vibration sounds again, and perform detailed analysis using software like O-Solution. It can also be used for technology transfer.

Register the recorded data
Register the recorded data
Listening comparison function

assignment:
I can't tell if the vibration sound has changed.
I want to compare it to the sound when an abnormality occurs.

Solved:
You can switch between vibration sounds measured on-site and pre-recorded vibration sounds and compare them in real time.
Furthermore, using the V3 band makes it easier to determine whether or not there is an abnormality.

VW-0330 Filter Extension Function (Optional Feature)
HPF/LPF cutoff frequencies [Hz] (shaded area is extended)
HPF/LPF cutoff frequencies [Hz] (shaded area is extended)

assignment:
We want to accurately capture the abnormal phenomena.
I want to take measurements without being affected by noise.

Solved:
In addition to the standard bandpass filter, you can select even finer frequency ranges.

VW-0340 ISO evaluation and judgment function (optional feature)
You can immediately tell if the threshold has been exceeded.
You can immediately tell if the threshold has been exceeded.

assignment:
I want to move away from maintenance that relies solely on experience.
I want to make appropriate decisions while monitoring vibration values.

Solved:
You can choose between absolute value evaluation and relative value evaluation as your evaluation method.
The equipment's condition can be assessed using evaluation criteria that comply with ISO and JIS standards.

Vibration diagnostic assist tool

VW-0360 Vibration Diagnostic Assist Tool (Optional Feature)

This software manages the measurement conditions and acquired data of vibration meters.
By creating measurement conditions and evaluation criteria in the software and transmitting them to Portable Vibration Meter, inspection work can be made more efficient. Furthermore, the smooth visualization of vibration value trends and comparison with evaluation criteria leads to more efficient maintenance work.

Making the VW-0360 even more convenient
VW-0350 Assist Tool Integration Function (Optional Function)

By linking equipment information and measurement conditions on the software and creating an ID list based on that list, vibration values can be measured on-site while checking the equipment information. Even when performing route inspections targeting multiple pieces of equipment, data can be acquired reliably and efficiently.
