A worldwide leader in precision measurement solution Vibration and Balancing System A new standard in gas turbine engine testing +

PBS-4100R+ - A complete Vibration System MTI Instruments sets a new standard in gas turbine engine testing with the PBS4100R+. Designed specifically for test cell use, the PBS-4100R+ provides extensive vibration monitoring and analysis capabilities along with the fastest possible “one-shot” balancing solutions. The PBS4100R+ is the one system that does it all. Long term testing – Collect data over many days for endurance and performance testing. All data can be viewed during and after the test. Collect vibration survey data from a wide range of sensors quickly and accurately. Vibration readings...

A full-featured system to help you get the job done fast The PBS-4100R+ has all the functions and capabilities to consistently make accurate vibration measurements and provide you with the data and information you need to complete your vibration testing. Real-Time data displays of up to eight vibration channels provide data instantly to tell you what the machine is doing. Data is collected for all vibration channels at least 10 times per second to ensure that nothing happens without being detected. While the state-of-the-art Digital Signal Processor is collecting vibration data, users may view...

Expert Balancing at your fingertips When an engine has a vibration problem, you want to fix it fast. And if balancing is required, you want it performed accurately and quickly. Traditional methods require multiple engine runs, consuming time and fuel. Other “automated” balancing systems require you to manually enter readings into a computer or to guess which specific balance weights to use. The PBS-4100R+ system collects vibration data, calculates a precise balance solution, and determines the specific balance weights required – in one shot, after only one engine run. Accurate Solutions - The...

Designed to meet your testing needs The PBS-4100R+ has been designed to meet all of your testing needs. An extensive library exists of pre-programmed engine parameters for the most popular aircraft and industrial gas turbine models. These parameters reflect the most common and standard test parameters. However, users can also modify the parameters to custom tailor the system to their particular testing requirements. Multiple Engine Capability - Only two clicks of the mouse are required to “re-program” the PBS-4100R+ for a different engine type. This means that changing-over is quick, easy, and...

Exchange data easily The PBS-4100R+ offers several standard and optional features to enable integration of vibration and speed data with other systems. Being able to exchange data with other systems can make engine testing more efficient, more accurate and can provide your customers with additional value and information. Digital Data Interface - Transmit vibration and speed data collected by the PBS-4100R+ directly to other computers using a high speed Ethernet interface. Vibration data for all channels (broadband, rotor synchronous, filtered frequencies of interest and phase) is all available...

Advanced balancing and diagnostic capabilities The PBS-4100R+ system is more than an easy-touse vibration and balance analyzer. It gives you a full range of diagnostic capabilities that identify engine problems. VIBRATION SURVEY ANALYZER and TRACKING FILTER Plots engine vibration (broadband, tracked N1 and optional N2/N3) across the entire engine speed range. It allows you to determine how much vibration is caused by engine unbalance and how much is caused by other factors. You won’t waste hours trying to balance an engine when balancing won’t solve the problem. The vibration survey helps the...

ENGINE TYPES Manufacturers CFMI, General Electric, Honeywell, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, IAE, R-R-Allison and others Models BALANCING Balancing Methods SPEED SIGNALS Channels Type Speed Signal 1 to 20 speeds simultaneously, 50075,000 rpm range Balance Channels 1 or 2 channels simultaneously (1 to 8 channels optional), typically used with fan and turbine pickups. Balance Planes 1 or 2 (fan and turbine) simultaneously; accounts for uneven hole spacing and unavailable holes; can calculate balance weights for one plane that will effectively balance both planes.
