The OnGuard VBX analyzer is a powerful vibration monitoring platform specifically engineered to monitor Yankee creping. It allows tissue makers to listen to vibrations generated from creping and cleaning blades, helping operators make more informed decisions about process changes and improve optimization.
Data generated by the OnGuard VBX analyzer provides insight into process disturbances, coating adaptation and blade performance. This vibration data is also critical to improving long-term asset protection by helping to reveal harmful levels of vibration and indicate early signs of chatter. The OnGuard VBX system provides analytical tools for engineers and operators to investigate process upsets and improve operation stability.
The OnGuard VBX analyzer provides the following benefits:
- Yankee asset protection
- Optimized blade usage
- Improved root cause analysis
- Yankee edge monitoring
- Enhanced coating response to process changes
- Surface monitoring and internal diagnostics
Your Machine Is Unique
Several factors influence tissue creping vibration: wet end conditions, process centerlines, mechanical configuration, furnish blend and coating chemistry. Because these factors can change over time or from one grade to the next, each machine produces its own unique vibration signature.
Whether you use one vibration sensor or multiple, the OnGuard VBX analyzer lets you customize and tailor your data monitoring and visualizations to fit the vibration fingerprint from your machine.
