All-in-one portable device for vibration detection, analysis, and evaluation.
The VW-3100 is a handheld vibration meter from Ono Sokki that simultaneously measures acceleration, velocity, and displacement in one compact unit. Its variable band-pass listening function helps detect abnormalities and early signs of machine deterioration. Measurement data can be recorded in WAV/ORF formats for post-analysis using O-Solution software, making it ideal for equipment inspection, maintenance, and quality control.
1. Simultaneous measurement and display of 3 physical quantities of vibration in the V3 Bands, enabling improved work efficiency by accurately identifying abnormalities. 2.Listening function with variable band-pass filters for anomaly detection and skill transfer 3. Simultaneous data recording during inspections (ORF/WAV format), facilitating advanced diagnostics through post-analysis software like the O-Solution 4. A wide range of optional functions to support on-site measurements and evaluationsSystem configurations & sensors
Standard functions
① Simultaneous measurement of acceleration, velocity, and displacement
– To identify machine failures, it is necessary to measure three vibration values (acceleration, velocity, and displacement).
The VW-3100 can simultaneously calculate and display these values using the V3 band, allowing engineers to accurately identify abnormalities and improve work efficiency.
② Extracting abnormal sounds and signs of deterioration
– With a variable band-pass filter, users can arbitrarily set the frequency range and isolate specific vibration components for precise anomaly detection.
③ Capable of listening to vibration sounds
– The sensor signal can be converted into audible vibration sounds for intuitive diagnostics.
By narrowing the frequency band using a variable filter, it becomes easier to detect abnormal machine noise.
It can also function as a modern alternative to an auscultation rod, enhancing field-level troubleshooting.
