Machine Condition Monitoring with RLI

Robust Laser Interferometry (RLI) is a powerful tool that can be used to measure vibration and acoustic emissions (AE) on all types of industrial rotating machines.  RLI provides substantial benefits, in terms of overall performance, ease of use, safety and cost of operation when compared to systems based on other sensors, such as accelerometers and piezo-electric transducers.

Robust Laser Interferometry (RLI) provides an unprecedented, non-contact capability for measuring vibration and acoustic emissions (AE).  Industrial and Commercial facilities that need to optimize the reliability of critical rotating machines, including those that contain gears and bearings, rely on a variety of condition-monitoring technique such as oil analysis, thermography and vibration analysis.  RLI offers a comprehensive capability for measuring vibration that is fundamentally different from all other technologies and systems that measure vibration.  RLI uses a laser to contact the machine surface - there is no need to to select and mount accelerometers or piezo-electric transducers.  
 
RLI is portable and easy to set-up and use.  It enables the end user to stand back from the machine, even at a distance of 50 feet or more.  If you use vibration or acoustic emissions as a predictive maintenance tool, then you should know about the benefits of RLI for machine condition monitoring...
  • Non-Contact: User can stand back from measurement point - up to 50 feet or more
  • Very quick set-up
  • Hostile surface measurement capability
  • Unaffected by temperature extremes or EMI at measurement point
  • No damping of vibration at measurement point related to sensor mass
  • Wide bandwidth - 0 to 500+ Hz
    • Low frequency measurement capability - down to effectively 0 Hz
    • High Frequncy measurement capability - up to 500+ Hz allows for AE measurement
  • Excellent dynamic range - 180+ dB
  • Excellent Signal-to-Noise ratio: Robust performance in noisy industrial settings 
  • User-friendly - measurement linearity eliminates classical technical concerns related to artifacts and utility of data for subsequent differentiation and integration
 
Plus, RLI's user interface is familiar to the typical vibration tech - RLI provides various grpahical interfaces and analytical tools for sampling, display and processing including FFT, envelope-processing, filtering (definable low-pass, band-pass, high-pass and band reject filters) and English-Metric conversions.
