Frequency response function measurement

CF-3850T, CF-3850R
Resonance may cause not only chattering vibration in robots and machine tools but also vibration and noise in automobiles and home appliances. The most popular method for analyzing resonance is measurement of the frequency response function of the object, using an impulse hammer. Excitation by an impulse hammer is the ideal choice of the on-site measurement for trouble shooting because it reduces measurement time without the need to mount the object on an exciter. It enables simultaneous processing of up to 8ch*, 40 kHz range and 6,400 points of frequency analysis.

Tracking analysis
CF-3650T, CF-3850T
Rotating machinery such as engines, compressors and turbines etc. must cover wide range of rotating speed from very low to high speed. The most important issue is resonance caused by the rotating speed of the machinery, in which the rotation frequency is the same as the natural frequency of the rotating machinery’s components (e.g. axles, gears and brackets.). In case of torsion vibration in large power generators and the like, resonance can cause serious accidents, creating vibration excitation energy that exceeds the tolerance of the machinery, destroying it. Rotation tracking analysis is the effective method to identify the rotating speed at which resonance occurs in rotating equipment, and which components and orders (multipliers) of the rotating speed generate noise or vibration.
Throughput disk function

The ability to directly store the original signal waveform to the HDD of CF eliminates the needs to save to a data collector then retrieve it. This also allows you to store the data in non-degrading digital status. Use the data recorded via the throughput disk function to analyze it on the CF as well as the offline analysis at the PC on which DS or DS installed. By changing the measurement and analysis conditions allows for flexible analysis.

CF-3650R, CF-3850R
In order to solve the noise problem, the frequency analysis is required. And octave analysis has long been used for frequency analysis. An octave is a frequency with ratio of 1:2 to the frequency that is, double the frequency. The human ear senses sounds in geometric progressions to the frequency. A series of octave bands based on 1 kHz has been standardized, and the acoustic pressure level of each band. The octave band based on 1 kHz is called the 1/1 octave band, while the bands formed by dividing into third are called the 1/3 octave bands. CF performs real time octave analysis for 4 channels simultaneously.
1/N Real-time octave analysis (option)
DS-0224: Option
This software can analyze and display the signal power of noise and vibration as 1/6, 1/12, 1/24 real-time octave band. Simultaneous analysis up to 2ch from 0.701 Hz to 17.20 kHz (1/24 octave) can be performed. Also the DS-0224A can measure the following four values simultaneously; maximum value, minimum value, power average value and power sum value.
| 1/6 octave bands | Ch1 to ch4 (CF-3650) Ch1 to ch8( CF-3850) |
| 1/12, 1/24 octave bands | Ch1 and ch2 (CF-3650) Ch1, ch2, ch5 and ch6 (CF-3850) |
* DS-0223WA 1/1 and 1/3 real-time octave analysis software is required in the use of DS-0224A.
Octave tracking analysis (option)
DS-0243: Option
This octave tracking analysis software can analyze level trend of every band for the rotating speed by input of rotation information and retrieving of each fixed rotation as real time octave analysis data. Note: DS-0223WA Real time 1/1 and 1/3 octave analysis software is required.
* 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: Option
The trouble of rotation machinery is caused most frequently by Imbalanced phenomenon of rotating shaft. So the balancing correction is required, but the conventional vector calculation method with drawing takes some time and it makes on-site field balancing difficult. The DS-0227A measures the unbalancing phenomenon easily and efficiently by calculating and displaying the results of 1-plane 1-condition, 1-plane 2-condition and 2-plane 2-condition.
