Get more value out of machine vibration.

VC-8000 is the innovative, award-winning, and robust online machine protection and condition monitoring system by B&K Vibro. It keeps a watchful eye on your machine’s vibration levels. And it ensures you have all relevant data available to diagnose potential machine faults. Flexible in application and size and easy to set up, VC-8000 is ideal for both beginners and pros in the field of machinery protection. One of VC-8000‘s most essential and notable components is the flight recorder.

Where other systems lack decisive data before an event, the flight recorder ensures you have all necessary data available and safely stored. Safeguarding staff, assets, and the environment: Protecting critical rotating machinery from excessive vibration is of utmost importance in nearly every industry and is laid down in international standards. Unplanned downtime resulting in loss of production also poses a high risk to a plant’s profitability.

B&K Vibro has decades of experience in vibration measurement and analysis, fault detection, and diagnostics. We have supplied cutting-edge online and offline machine monitoring solutions and sensing technology to the oil and gas, power generation, and processing industries worldwide. And we’re working on paving the way to modern machine monitoring by constantly innovating machine vibration measurement, vibration analysis, and fault diagnostics technologies. Our machine protection and condition monitoring solutions fit the most demanding applications.

One of the greatest challenges in a petrochemical plant is an unplanned shutdown or outage, resulting in lost production and higher costs. Significant investments are often made in Machinery Protection Systems to prevent unplanned downtime on critical assets. B&K Vibro recently worked with a customer where the existing protection systems were not always detecting the machine’s fault in advance, leading to a complete outage. This video discusses how our VC-8000 machine protection and condition monitoring solution helped a customer quickly diagnose an unexpected machine trip to avoid a costly shutdown. The VC-8000 detected the condition change in time, while the existing legacy system missed it completely. And it’s easy to set up and integrate into an existing monitoring system without any service disruption.
