The fibre-plastic-specific characteristic of the structure-borne sound sensors enables targeted detection of material-specific damage by means of pulse registration and processing. The intensity of the damage-related pulses is continuously checked by the condition monitoring unit. Individual pulses can be a reliable indicator of incipient damage; an accumulation of pulses indicates severe damage. The condition monitoring system checks and evaluates these damage events.

 

The structural changes recorded by the strain sensors are converted into electrical signals. The condition monitoring system continuously checks these signal forms for deviations. By continuously monitoring the strain, the specific natural frequencies and the entire frequency spectrum, it is ultimately possible to detect and evaluate damage events.

A graphical user display, radio transmission in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, mobile phone network or directly into the system via the USB port, a comprehensive data output is available.
