Fluke 3563 Analysis Vibration Sensor

high-frequency piezoelectric sensor and insightful software analytics

The Fluke 3563 combines a high-frequency piezoelectric sensor and insightful software analytics, enabling maintenance teams to regularly monitor and analyze vibration readings for a facility’s production-critical assets. Its smart battery management lets maintenance pros determine the data transmission rate and adapt and extend the sensor battery’s life while still getting the data required.

The sensor’s LIVE-Asset™ Portal software application includes customizable frequency band measurements, automatically generated thresholds based on asset details, trend visualization, and frequency identification graphs. These views enable users to determine which fault is causing a problem to an asset and the cause of the fault. With this analysis, users can evaluate critical next-step actions to take. The result is extended peak operating performance and more efficient maintenance team use – delivering increased business value from maintenance operations.

Combined with setup and vibration training services, the Fluke 3563 can be implemented seamlessly into existing plant operations while yielding the efficiency benefits promised by condition monitoring and practical leverage of the IIoT. The Fluke 3563 Analysis Vibration Sensor system is a solution that seamlessly combines three parts: hardware, software, and service. The one-on-one setup process includes personalized assistance from Fluke Reliability experts, ensuring successful configuration, commissioning, and installation.

Essential hardware features

• The sensor captures the following measurements:
• Vibration measurements that include RMS and peak-to-peak (supported measurement quantities are velocity and acceleration)
• Time waveform
• Temperature
• The measurements are sent to the gateway by a short-range wireless technology standard
• A battery-operated triaxial sensor that leverages two MEMS sensors and a high-frequency, high-resolution piezoelectric sensor
• The two MEMS sensors are used to measure low-frequency vibrations in the X and Y orthogonal axes
• The piezoelectric sensor measures both low- and high-frequency vibrations in the Z-axis, which is the main sensing axis
• Dual network capabilities: Wi-Fi and Ethernet
• A unique smart battery-management capability that allows for a user-determined data transmission rate, maximizing battery life
