VibChecker is an instrument for fast and easy measurement of machine condition in preventive maintenance. It is based on the recommendations of ISO 2372 and ISO10816 standards for broad band measurements of vibration. These standards make the assumption that limited information, obtained easily and at a low cost, is often as useful as a detailed analysis using expensive equipment and elaborate techniques. The instrument measures either with a built-in probe (VC200) or with an external transducer. It is push button controlled and basic measurement data are entered manually. Evaluated measuring results are indicated by greenyellow-red symbols, and a time signal and its FFT spectrum are produced for easy pattern recognition. Measurement results can also be transferred to a file for further processing, e.g. in Microsoft Excel.
