VM-5
The Shinkawa VM-5 Series is a highly adaptable machinery monitoring system engineered in strict accordance with the API Standard 670 standards. It is designed for maximum flexibility, this robust monitoring system seamlessly bridges the gap between basic vibration tracking and advanced Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI). VM-5 is modular with a user-friendly architecture that supports 8-slot, 10-slot, or single-unit configurations with hot-swappable, front-panel operation without halting machinery.
By enabling operators to perform all checks and operations directly from the front panel, the VM-5 eliminates the need for costly machinery shutdowns during routine maintenance. Whether you are monitoring shaft position, eccentricity, differential expansion, or simple vibration, the VM-5 integrates flawlessly into your predictive maintenance strategy, ensuring your high-value assets run smoothly and efficiently.
Applications :
Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI), high-and-middle pressure steam turbines, gas turbines, and generators. It is particularly valuable in marine shipping applications due to its stringent maritime classifications.
- API 670 Compliance: Meets rigorous American Petroleum Institute standards for reliability in petrochemical and power generation environments
- Uninterrupted Uptime: Features the VM-5Z0 Power Supply Backup Module, providing up to 0.2 seconds of continued operation during instantaneous power failures
- Dual Power Redundancy: The 10-slot VM-5W1 rack accommodates two independent power supply units to guarantee continuous monitoring even if one fails
- Global Quality Approvals: Fully certified with CE Marking and major shipping classifications (Lloyd’s Register, NK, KR) for marine and international industrial use
- Comprehensive Data Communication: Seamlessly connects to external PCs or the infiSYS RV-200 system for detailed vibration analysis and diagnostic failure tracking
