Leonova™ Infinity

SPM has the organisation and the know-how to increase the availability and profitability of your production equipment. Knowing that your situation is special, we gave Leonova Infinity a comprehensive range of functions and developed a new system of financing condition monitoring.

The backbone of all proactive maintenance is up to date data on the machine status, obtained with two well-tested frontline techniques. Vibration severity monitoring according to ISO standards diagnoses general machine condition. Shock pulse monitoring with the True SPM® Method gives early warning of bearing deterioration, the most common cause of machine failures.

Root cause elimination is true preventive maintenance. A poorly aligned and balanced machine wastes a lot of energy and eventually wears itself out. Do not tolerate excessive noise, vibrations and failure rates. Leonova is a state of the art maintenance tool for fast and easy alignment and balancing.
Condition monitoring costs money for equipment, training and labour. With Leonova, you have a free choice of suitable instrument functions and how to pay for their use.

Bearing Condition SPM® Method

SPM’s shock pulse method is the only successful monitoring technique specialising in rolling element bearings. It presents accurate information on the mechanical state of the bearing surfaces and of the lubrication condition, throughout the bearing´s lifetime. Installation faults and poor lubrication, the root cause of many bearing failures, are easily detected.

SPM Spectrum™

This is a unique feature, an efficient tool for detailed bearing condition analysis. A time record of the signal from an SPM shock pulse transducer is subjected to an FFT analysis. This provides a spectrum that is compared with the rotational frequencies of the bearing parts. In addition, it can identify other periodic shock sources such as gear damage.

Vibration Severity plus FFT Spectrum

Leonova measures vibration velocity, acceleration and displacement according to the latest ISO 10816 standards, with menu selection of all specified machine classes and their alarm limit values. In addition to the RMS vibration readings, Leonova displays an FFT spectrum, where you can easily identify the symptoms of imbalance, misalignment and structural weakness

Balancing

With Leonova, single and dual plane rotor balancing in accordance with modern standard methods are easy operations. Like machine alignment, the function is available for either unlimited use or on the "Function and Use" basis. You can apply the traditional four run technique or the two run method with time synchronous measurement triggered by a tachometer connected to Leonova.

Orbit Analysis

For all machines with journal bearings, simultaneous measurement with two vibration transducers supplies an accurate graph of the shaft centre line movement.

Structural Resonances

Run up/Coast down measurement and Bump test are tools for root cause analysis. They show the machine frame vibration characteristics, resonance frequencies and the reaction at critical speeds.
