Frequency response function measurement


CF-3600AT、CF-3600AR
CF-3800AT、CF-3800AR

Resonance may cause the chatter vibration of robot or machine tool, or noise/vibration of vehicle and home appliance. For the analysis of resonance, the most popular method is frequency response function measurement of the object by using impulse hammer. As neither attaching excitation tool to the structure nor long measurement time is required, excitation by the impulse hammer is the most ideal method for on site measurement including trouble shooting. Maximum of 8-ch* simultaneous signal processing, at 40kHz range and 6400-point frequency analysis can be performed.

* When CF-3800A or CF-3600A has an optional CF-0364 4-ch optional expansion unit.

   

Tracking analysis


CF-3600AT、CF-3800AT

Rotating machinery such as engine or compressor must cover wide range of rotation speed from very low to high speed. For those rotation machineries, resonance which is generated by rotation speed and natural frequency of the each component (parts such as rotation shaft, gear, blacket etc.) will be the most significant problem. In case of tortional vibration in large power generators and the like, resonance creats great vibration excitation energy that exceeds the tolerance of the machinery and can cause serious accident to be destroyed. When the rotating machinery makes vibration at a certain rotation speed, the rotation tracking analysis is one of the effective method to identify the rotation speeds at which rotating parts generate the noise/vibration, and how many times of the frequency component (order) of noise/vibration are generated.

   

Throughput disk function


CF-3600AT、CF-3600AR
CF-3800AT、CF-3800AR

With the throughput disk function, it can directly record original signal waveform to CF-3600A/CF-3800A at a maximum of 8-ch*. The recorded data not only can be recalled and analyzed by CF-3600A/3800A via thourhput disk function, but also can be performed in advanced and diverse analyses such as multi-frequency range analysis, signal processing by digital filter with PC analysis software.

* When CF-3800A or CF-3600A has an optional CF-0364 4-ch optional expansion unit.

Maximum recording time at AD conversion at 16-bit data only.

Frequency range CF-3600A CF-3800A

File export function


CF-3600AT、CF-3600AR
CF-3800AT、CF-3800AR

Using this file exort function, files stored by the throughput disk function in the extension of ORF format can be transformed into the WAV, TEXT, DADISP, MATLAB and UFF. Moreover, it can export them to other software for secondary processing.

   

Real-time octave analysis


CF-3600AR、CF-3800AR

In order to solve the noise problem, the frequency analysis is required. Octave analysis has long been used as noise analysis. An octave represents that frequency with ratio of 1:2 to the frequency that is, double the frequency. The human ear senses sound in geometric progressions to the frequency. In view of this feature, a series of octave bands based on 1kHz frequency has been standardized. The sound pressure of each band is obtained through the standardized band-pass filter. The octave band based on 1 kHz frequency is called the 1/1 octave band, while the bands formed by dividing into third are called 1/3 octave bands. Real-time octave analysis software can perform simultaneous frequency analysis with maximum of 8-ch*.

* When CF-3800A or CF-3600A has an optional CF-0364 4-ch optional expansion unit.

   

1/N Real-time octave analysis


Option:DS-0224

By adding optional software of DS-0224 1/N real-time octave analysis function to CF-3600AR/CF-3800AR, the signal power of noise/vibration can be analyzed and displayed as 1/6, 1/12, 1/24 real-time octave band. Simultaneous analysis from 0.701Hz to 17.20kHz (1/24 octave) can be performed. Also DS-0224 can simultaneously measure the following four values; maximum value, minimum value, power average value and power sum value.

CF-3600A/2800A applicable channel

1/6 octave bands Ch1 to ch4(CF-3600A)
Ch1 to ch8(CF-3800A)
1/12, 1/24 octave bands Ch1 and ch2 (CF-3600A)
Ch1, ch2, ch5 and ch6 (CF-3800A)

* DS-0223 1/1 and 1/3 real-time octave analysis software is required in the use of DS-0224.

   

Octave tracking analysis


Option:DS-0243

Adding optional software of DS-0243 octave tracking analysis function enables CF-3600AR/CF-3800AR to perform octave tracking analysis. This software can analyze and display the level trend of each band for each rotation speed after input of rotation data and retrieving an each fixed rotation as real-time octave analysis data.

* DS-0223 1/1 and 1/3 real-time octave analysis software is required in the use of DS-0243.

   

Field balancing software


Option:DS-0227

The 1st order vibration will become large by the unbalanced phenomenon of rotation. When the rotation speed is changed with unbalance, the resonance may be generated and it is so dangerous. The unbalance must be corrected. However, the conventional vector calculation method of drawing a vector graph and performing vector calculations takes a long time, making it difficult to carry out on site field balancing. DS-0227 filed balancing software can calculate easily single plane for one condition, single plane for two conditions, and two planes for two parameters of field balancing.
