High performance, quality and reliability

Vibro-Meter ® products are renowned for their superior performance and best-in-class quality (“Swiss Made”) offering high MTBF solutions for critical machinery and balance of plant (BOP) equipment in Power Generation, Oil & Gas and other industrial applications.

100% predictability from sensors to decisions
Safety first with machinery protection
For critical rotating machinery in power plants, regulations dictate that protection systems are used to measure and monitor changes in machinery vibration levels, gas turbine combustion chamber pressure levels and/or machine behaviour. Should a breakdown threaten, our systems are designed to initiate a shutdown within fractions of a second.

Comprehensive condition monitoring solutions
To cut the cost of unscheduled maintenance, unnecessary inspection and troubleshooting, operators must anticipate wear and tear and recognize incipient failure conditions. The Meggitt Vibro-Meter ® turnkey condition monitoring solutions includes sensors, conditioners, electronics, data acquisition systems, software and data analytics solutions.

Software to support predictive maintenance programs
Advanced monitoring and diagnostic functions, enabling informed decisions on all aspects of power plant management.

For complex installations
The high channel density of VM600 rack-based systems addresses complex installations. Dynamic inputs from proximity probes, accelerometers, velocity, dynamic pressure and ice detection sensors are fed into standard 19-inch, 6U racks.

Accessible
VM600 is designed for plants where measurement data from all the machines is accessed in a safe, central area, with personnel obtaining waveforms by physically connecting to raw signals.

For reactive or proactive management
Whether you want to fit and forget a reliable vibration protection system, or you require advanced combustion dynamics analyses to ensure safe and optimal fuel mixtures, the VM600 covers basic to highly sophisticated analysis.

VM600 system segregation
The VM600 system uses one type of card for machinery protection and another for condition monitoring in order to separate these functions, thereby ensuring API 670 compliance, improving cyber security and reducing costs.
