Vibration
screening
Simplifying mechanical vibration testing
Many facilities forego vibration testing because of its complex nature, but Fluke has developed innovative yet easy-to-use tools that yield excellent results without requiring advanced training. Now you don't have to be a vibration specialist to help diagnose critical equipment that may be near failure due to imbalance, misalignment or other causes.

diagnostics
Increase uptime with vibration analysis
Machines with rotating parts are especially susceptible to vibration-related issues and the process of diagnosing those issues has evolved over decades. Thanks to innovators like Fluke, the art of vibration analysis has reached a point where technicians without advanced training can use convenient hand-held tools to troubleshoot vibration-related issues. The result is better equipment performance and increased uptime, with significantly less effort.

Overheating
bearings
Extend bearing life with thermographic technology
Overheated bearings can cause machinery to fail, resulting in a sudden interruption of the production line. Replacing those bearings can be costly, in terms of labor, parts and downtime. Fluke thermal imaging cameras allow technicians to quickly and accurately scan bearings and detect running temperature from a safe distance, so they can focus their maintenance efforts on bearings that are closest to failing.
