Product Description

The Cutsforth Wired Vibration Monitoring System provides continuous, high-fidelity insight into the mechanical health of rotating and reciprocating assets. By capturing and analyzing vibration amplitude, frequency, and waveform patterns over time, the system enables early detection of developing faults such as imbalance, misalignment, bearing defects, looseness, gear wear, cavitation, resonance and more.

Designed to monitor a wide range of equipment, including motors, pumps, compressors, turbomachinery, and generators, the system offers users a detailed understanding of machine behavior during all operating conditions. This early visibility helps prevent failures, reduce unplanned downtime, and improve overall equipment reliability.

At the core of the system is InsightCM™, Cutsforth’s multi-physics monitoring platform. InsightCM delivers high-resolution waveform capture, automated mechanical fault detection, and trend analysis, correlating vibration data with temperature, electrical, and process inputs to provide a comprehensive view of asset condition. Standard diagnostic tools include time waveform, spectrum, full spectrum, Bode and orbit plots, waterfall displays, envelope spectrum, and shaft-centerline analysis.

The system supports a wide range of sensors, including accelerometers, velocity probes, proximity probes, speed sensors, and other dynamic sensors, ensuring compatibility with diverse machinery types and applications. High-fidelity 24-bit acquisition and intelligent edge processing optimize data accuracy while minimizing bandwidth and storage requirements.

All vibration data is managed, displayed, and analyzed within Cutsforth’s InsightCM condition monitoring software. InsightCM is a Cutsforth-developed application providing full access to waveforms, multi-sensor technology inputs, enterprise software connectivity, and analytics packages. Feature data calculations by InsightCM can be transmitted to plant historians for integration into advanced pattern recognition (APR) models or other machine learning platforms.

The data viewers available in InsightCM for vibration assets include:
