Analyzer

Select the type of the measurement (from simple overall values through FFTs and time signals to more advanced measurements with Proximity probes such as Orbits), set up the measurement settings according to your requirements (frequency range, sampling, units, etc.) and take all the predefined measurements simultaneously.

Balancer

The balancer allows you to perform one or two plane balancing job of rotating parts such as industrial fans, blowers, spindles, etc.

Recorder

A unique measurement mode with unappreciated value. Recorder "records" the raw signal from the sensor, which means the raw signal from the machine. This allows you to make post-processing of the signal later on your PC. You can play this record again and again and apply any measurement setting to it.

IR Camera

The thermal imaging camera gives you another sense. Find overheated bearings, loose electrical connections, blocked pipes on heat exchangers, and other industrial problems.

FASIT

FASIT (Fault Source Identification Tool) is an expert system for automatic detection of possible machine faults:

- Unbalance
- Misalignment
- Looseness
- Bearing faults

Route

The route module is used for day to day data collection of your factory machinery. Simple create your route tree with measurement points location in DDS software and take measurements regularly. Transfer collected data to DDS software to watch the trends and analyze the data.

MCSA

Motor current signature analysis is a useful tool for electric motors inspection. Especially for the detection of broken rotor bars, air gap eccentricity, shorted turns in stator windings, and power quality.

Octave Analysis

Octave analysis allows you to measure audible sound. Connect your ICP microphone and measure sound level and Octave spectrum with selectable 1/1, 1/3, 1/12, 1/24 resolution.

ADS

ADS - Animated Deflection Shapes software is based on the method of operating deflection shapes. This means we visualize the vibrations of a certain machine by animation. During the animation, the vibration movement is slowed down to very low frequency and the amplitude of the motion is increased so we can see the vibration. You can animate the machine motion directly on the VA5 device!

Ultrasound

Measurement of sound inaudible to the human ear - ultrasound, typical application are air leak detection, electrical arcing, or early bearing fault detection.

RunUp

Similar to Analyzer mode where you can set up any measurement which you like. RunUp allows you to control the saving of data for example as soon as possible, or by speed change, time change, etc.

Lubri

Lubri is a maintenance tool used for monitoring and control of the lubrication process. Lubri measures the actual bearing lubrication status and informs the operator when the lubrication state is optimal.

Stethoscope

Do not use a screwdriver to listen to your bearing noise anymore. Place the sensor on the bearing house and listen to the machine/bearing noise with headphones. VA5 enables us to listen to signals from 4 channels. Just switch between individual channels. Adjust the volume according to your needs.

Bump Test

An easy way how of measuring structure resonance frequencies. No need for any settings, just place the sensor on the structure and hit it with the appropriate hammer.

Camera

The built-in camera helps you to organize maintenance jobs. Is there any visible oil leak, loose part or other issue? Capture it on camera and send it to responsible person for further action.

Gallery

All your pictures from the camera, IR camera, and measurement screenshots are stored in one place. The gallery is a useful management tool for all your capture.
