SKF will be at Maintec 2007, exhibiting its FixtureLaser laser alignment system that enables engineers to align rotating shafts and machinery simply and accurately. The company will also be presenting its Vogel System 24 centralised lubrication system, which was developed to automate the lubrication of machinery, thereby ensuring that components receive the correct amount of lubricant at the right time to maximise performance and reduce maintenance requirements.
For maintenance engineers, SKF will launch its new Microlog Analyzer GX-E System, the in the company's range of portable data collection systems, designed to make it easier for maintenance engineers to monitor accurately the condition of a diverse range of rotating equipment, ensuring that machinery continues to operate at optimum performance levels and that maintenance costs are minimised.
The new hand-held unit has been specifically developed solely for field collection of data and route based analysis, including vibration signals and process variables and bearing assessments, incorporating such features as a large colour display and automatic optimum data acquisition settings, which make the unit refreshingly simple to use.
Due to its modular design, the GX-E can easily and cost effectively be upgraded as the asset monitoring needs of a plant and the technical requirements of its engineers evolve. Accompanying software helps form a complete condition monitoring system, which allows engineers to carry out detailed analysis of the data collected in the field, and to produce comprehensive reports easily.
