The importance of using a high-quality vibration monitor in your equipment

Capital intensive industries like construction rely on the use of heavy equipment, and while the durability of that equipment is not often called into question, there are a range of factors that can reduce the useful life of a piece of heavy equipment. While misuse can be an issue, the damage caused by seemingly innocuous factors like vibration can cause serious damage if left unmonitored.

An investment in a high-quality vibration monitor is essential for any use case where your equipment could be subject to sufficiently high levels of vibration. STI has a wide range of different monitors and transmitters that provide a low-cost solution to the monitoring of vibrations on your equipment, and these monitors are designed to be durable and long-lasting, while providing accurate single-channel monitoring as well.

We design and build all products, from our vibration transmitter to our monitors, in the USA in our Texas and Nevada facilities, and our products are ideal for new installations and for retrofits as well. Aside from vibration monitors, we also offer everything from displays to accelerometers and the cables and other accessories necessary to keep these products connected and working as effectively as possible. Our firm has been designing and manufacturing some of the highest quality monitoring devices in the industry since 1989.

Why getting the right vibration switch and monitor is essential to your business

When you are managing a manufacturing or assembly process that requires adherence to strict tolerances, you need to rely on the ability of your machinery to produce to those tolerances, which requires proper operation and maintenance.

Over time, the machinery that you rely on to do that job can begin to show signs of wear, which can affect its efficiency and its ability to perform accurate work within the tolerances that you expect. The best way to proactively address these issues, which may not be immediately noticeable to the naked eye, is to ensure that you have the resources available to monitor changes to your machinery across the factors that matter most to the longevity of the machine.

For example, using a vibration switch or monitor to track the amount of vibration from a particular machine can alert you to issues with the equipment earlier, and in more serious cases can even trigger the shutoff of that equipment or the manufacturing process as a whole. This can prevent damage to some of the most important equipment to your business, and it can also provide a signal to you to do a broader inspection of your manufacturing process to proactively solve for potential problems.

STI is a leading manufacturer of monitoring devices and the cables and accessories that they rely on. Everything from our monitoring devices to our accelerometer cable is manufactured in the US, and we are committed to providing the highest quality single-channel devices that are available.

Why it’s important to invest in the right vibration monitoring systems

Your manufacturing process relies on careful coordination among different machinery, equipment, and personnel in order for the overall business to be successful, and your customers require your products to be manufactured within set tolerances, without exception. Does that sound like it could be describing your business?

For most businesses, the management of their machinery to maintain efficiency and quality of output is one of the most important aspects of their business, and while that machinery may be built to last for a long time, there are certain factors that you will need to monitor for if you want to ensure that your equipment lasts to the end of its useful life while remaining in usable condition.

Monitoring factors like vibration in your equipment can alert you to issues that have the potential to become far more serious if you don’t attend to them. Using the right vibration monitoring systems can create major cost savings over time when used correctly, and working with a company that you can trust to supply you with the right monitors and related equipment to continually monitor your equipment and to spot problems.

STI has a range of different monitors for a variety of needs, including monitors that measure vibration in your machinery. You can use this reading to set certain tolerances in your manufacturing process, or create a vibration chart that helps you identify machinery that is deviating from normal vibration ranges.
