Truly Wireless Vibration Monitoring

Ranger Logo

Ranger Product
Truly wireless: Ranger launches today.

Our ability to remotely analyse machinery health has been greatly extended with the launch of our superior wireless technology.
Ranger is the first of our machinery health information systems that can be built as an entirely wireless installation.
With Ranger you can continuously monitor machinery in the most inaccessible environments and remotely monitor the health of essential machinery around the clock, automatically alerting you to potential problems and avoiding costly downtime. Our wireless technology makes it possible to monitor essential machinery where wiring is prohibitive.
Combine the benefits of a permanent installation with the flexibility of a portable monitoring device. Like traditional permanently mounted installations, Ranger allows you to collect data more cost effectively, more timely, and with improved accuracy compared with walk around portable routines. Eliminating wires provides flexibility and allows you to create temporary setups to focus on specific machinery with relative ease.

Permanent yet flexible

RangerNetwork
Ranger modules integrate with existing or traditional wired systems, allowing you to build the most cost effective system of wireless and wired modules specific to your facility's environment.
There’s no single way to make up a Ranger system – the size and complexity of each installation will be as unique as the companies who use them.
Features of the Ranger system include:
  • Self-healing network allows system to continue monitoring even when part of the network loses power or connection – the nearest module will connect it in to the network.
  • Dual-axis readings.
  • Wake on Hi-Vibe feature gives full control, taking pre-scheduled readings and can be set to take additional recording when pre-configured vibration levels are exceeded. This conserves battery life of wireless sensors.
  • Reduced analyst time as data is only provided when there is a problem to assess.
  • Ability to create temporary set-ups to monitor troublesome, recently repaired or new machines and collect baseline recordings for acceptance criteria.
  • High data integrity expected of a permanently connected monitoring system.
If you are interested in becoming a Ranger early adopter please get in touch with us for more information.

Fundamental Vibration Analysis Webinar

Fundamental Vibration Analysis – Back to Basics III

by Christopher Keniston, CMRP- Customer Success Engineer

Join us for a Webinar on December 8

Implementing a Vibration Analysis program can be a considerable investment of time and resources. Realising a significant Return-on-Investment requires the ability to capture and interpret relevant data, then take appropriate maintenance actions. Therein lies the primary obstacle to success. Regardless of whose products are used, you must understand what the technology is showing you. Our intent is to demonstrate that a fundamental understanding of this technology does not require highly-specialised training or an advanced degree. All one really needs is familiarity with the machine being monitored.
