The VL 8000 is a high-end field balancing instrument with advanced vibration measurement, vibration analysis and machine diagnosis features. Thanks to a modular device concept, the VL 8000 is a tool tailored to the respective measuring or balancing task. The VL 8000 offers systematically coordinated, powerful measurement and analysis tools. With the balancing process of the VL 8000, the imbalance can be compensated, e.g. by drilling. The measurement results can be saved in the portable VL 8000 and then transferred to a PC for archiving or further processing. Special features: - Intuitive operation with Windows interface - Clear presentation of results on color LCD - Wide speed range up to 300,000 RPM - Systematic detection of damage through envelope analysis - Fast measurement by digital signal processor (DSP) Functions: - Field balancing in one or two planes - Conversion of unbalance correction into practical balancing methods (e.g. drilling) - Frequency analysis to determine the spectral components of a vibration - Tracking analysis to capture the run-up or coast-down of a machine and to determine the resonances - Envelope analysis to detect damage of rolling bearings or gears - USB port to transmit the measurement values to a PC - PC software Applications: - Measuring vibrations of pedestals and machine housings - Field balancing on site - Recording the condition of rolling element bearings - Observing and recording vibration levels - Identifying frequencies in a vibration - Detecting resonance points and identifying transfer functions - Identifying damage and damage mechanisms
