Prerequisites
Connect the CSI 430 SpeedVue sensor to the tachometer input on the analyzer. Laser Speed
Detection automatically turns the power on for the CSI 430 SpeedVue sensor and turns the
laser beam off after the measurements completes.
Procedure
1.
Create a job or open Analyze from a route measurement point.
2. From the Analyze main menu, press F12 Laser Speed Detection.
3. Press Start or Enter to collect the data.
4. Use the up and down arrow keys to select an estimated speed range.
5. Press Enter.
6. Press Enter to view the data.
You can modify the axis and use a cursor to mark a frequency. The analyzer displays
the detected speed at the bottom of the screen. To redo the measurement, press F8
Start.
Note
You cannot store this data.
6.8.9 Bump Tests
Bump Tests check for resonance on a machine. During the test, hit the machine with a
hammer and look for peaks at the different frequencies. You want to determine if the high
amplitude is caused by high input force or low input force that is amplified by resonance.
The analyzer has two Bump Test Analysis Experts: Bump Test Equipment Off and Bump Test
Equipment Running.
Recommendations when collecting data
For best results, turn off the machine. The Bump Test may be more accurate because the
sensor should pick up only the machine's vibration. Use a regular hammer to hit the
machine once per average near the sensor in the same direction.
Triggers
If data collection begins before the hammer hits the machine, increase the trigger level in
Manual Analyze to a value greater than the default 0.5 value. This helps prevent background
vibration from causing a false trigger and beginning the test too soon.
Number of channels
The Bump Test Analysis Experts are single-channel measurements. For two or four channels,
use the Impact mode in Manual Analyze.
