iPad Rotor Balancing Kit

Motionics iPad Rotor Balancing Kit turns an iPad into a rotor balancer and vibration analyzer. It is a purely iPad-based kit consisting of an iPad (optional), a 2-channel DAQ box, an industrial accelerometer and a laser tachometer. The kit comes with several apps for vibration analysis, overall vibration testing, and rotor balancing. 

The iPad iRotorBalancer app allows single-plane, 2-plane, 4-runs, and overhung balancing to meet different rotor balancing requirements. With just simple tapping and typing, anyone can be an expert in rotor balancing using this package. The iPhone/iPad VibraTestPro App makes the kit a full vibration analyzer with time, domain, and frequency domain analysis. The kit also comes with the iVibraMeter App for iPad which can be used for quick overall vibration tests of multiple common machines such as pumps, motors, spindles, etc. with rapid PDF report generation capability.

• Automatic amplitude and phase picker for the 1X vibration component
• Handy calculator to estimate the trial weight
• Angular mass distribution calculator
• Permissible residual imbalance determination
• Polar plots of the trial and correction weights
• Weight removal calculator
• One-button calibration for accelerometer input
• Generate reports with machine information, vibration before and after balancing, trial weights, map location, pictures from library or camera, signature and notes
• PDF report email or wireless printing
• Local report manager
• Help & instructions

iVibraMeter is an iPad application that connects to the DAQ box and collects overall acceleration/velocity RMS vibration in real time. It displays the RMS value together with a severity bar based on different industry standards to show machine conditions.

• Real-Time overall RMS values
• Vibration signal spectrum/waveform
• Touch cursor on spectrum
• Vibration in velocity (ips or mm/s) or acceleration (G’s)
• ISO 10816 and customized vibration severity thresholds
• One-tap data capturing at predefined test points on common industrial machines, including: motor, fan, pump, etc
• One button calibration for accelerometer input
• Generate reports with machine information, vibration levels, severity bar, map location, pictures from library or camera, signature and notes
• PDF report email or wireless printing
• Local report manager
• Help & instructions

VibraTestPro is a universal app that turns an iPhone/iPad into a vibration analyzer. It provides comprehensive vibration analysis features, such as a real-time waveform and spectrum viewer, an ISO10816 vibration meter, raw signal recording, and more.

• Universal on iPhone and iPad
• Vibration meter with ISO10816 severity indicator and customized thresholds
• Interactive real-time waveform and spectrum viewer
• Customizable graph appearance: background color, line color, line thickness, grids
