REOVIB Measuring Devices

The REOVIB Testbox 122 is designed to provide accurate indications of voltage and current, when servicing and testing vibratory conveyors. The devices are fitted with moving-iron meters and external connectors are provided to allow fast and safe connection of the feeder and controller.

The SWM 4000 measuring device is used for the setup, testing, and servicing of vibratory conveyors. As a handheld device with integrated batteries, it can be used very easily for mobile applications. Using an acceleration sensor, frequency [Hz], oscillation amplitude [mm], oscillation velocity [cm/s], and oscillation acceleration [g] can be measured. The values are displayed on the integrated LCD and can also be stored in the device (40 measured values). Via the built-in USB interface, this stored data can be transferred to a PC for further analysis within a file.

The SWM 1000 sensor is used for monitoring vibratory feeder troughs. The sensor detects the acceleration of a magnetically or motor-driven vibratory trough and provides one measured value each for oscillation acceleration [g] and oscillation amplitude [mm]. The sensor’s output can be connected directly to a measuring device (with a 0 (4)… 20 mA input) or, for evaluation or monitoring purposes, connected to a PLC control, for example.

The REOVIB 6050 workshop device includes a REOVIB MFS frequency converter for vibratory feeders and is specifically designed for use in service and in the construction of vibratory feeders. For quick handling, the setpoint for the vibration amplitude can be adjusted using a potentiometer; a current meter is integrated for monitoring the output current.

The REOVIB 6100 workshop and diagnostic device is a microprocessor-controlled device for power adjustment of vibratory feeders, using an integrated REOVIB MFS frequency converter. At the same time, vibration frequency [Hz], vibration amplitude [mm], vibration velocity [cm/s] and vibration acceleration [g] are determined using an acceleration sensor. The values are displayed on the integrated LCD display and can also be stored in the device (40 measured values). These stored data can be transferred to a PC via the built-in USB interface for further evaluation within a file. The operating frequency of the conveyor can be set manually or determined automatically using a vibration amplitude sensor via an automatic frequency search.

The REOVIB SWM 843 monitoring device is used for measuring and displaying the vibration behavior of vibratory troughs. The vibration of the trough is detected via an acceleration sensor. The current measured value can be read directly on the device’s 5-digit seven-segment display as an acceleration value [g], oscillation amplitude value [mm], or oscillation frequency value [Hz]. The acceleration value can be tapped proportionally at an analog output with 0 (4)… 20 mA for evaluation or monitoring purposes – either via a connected measuring device or, for example, a connected PLC control.

The REOVIB BK 032 is a monitoring device which measures the vibration behaviour of vibratory feeders. This evaluation device when used in conjunction with an acceleration sensor, allows an acceptable window of operation to be established using adjustable maximum and minimum limits. If operation outside of this window occurs, which could signal a mechnical problem for example, a associated relay switches over which can be used to trigger an external alarm.
