Description
The B&K Vibro VC-8000 is an advanced online machine protection and condition monitoring system (MPS/CMS) that provides continuous and accurate information on the operation of critical industrial machinery. The system protects equipment from excessive vibration and ensures that sufficient data is always available to predict and diagnose serious equipment faults.
The VC-8000 offers solutions for continuous machine protection and condition monitoring, and these can be configured to fully meet your requirements. Ready-made application solutions are available for all types of machinery, including steam, gas and water turbines, compressors and many others.
By protecting your equipment and making effective use of vibration data, you can optimise maintenance procedures, reduce unplanned production downtime and improve the operational efficiency of your entire plant.

The VC-8000 can be fully integrated with the VCM-3 field monitor, allowing data from both systems to be fed directly into SETPOINT® CMS and AVEVA™ PI System™ software to form a plant-wide, integrated monitoring solution. This protects critical machinery and provides plant-wide condition monitoring for all critical equipment and auxiliary systems, utilising a common user interface for both systems. As a plant-wide solution, this makes day-to-day operations considerably easier.
