Mechanism of PLEXLOGGER

  • Three data elements
  • Recording trigger

This product is capable of high-speed video capture at a maximum of 8000 frames/second; this speed covers the middle range and enables the largest number of applications.
It is also possible to check the video images and data immediately before and after recording is triggered. Button operation, changes in video images, various external sensors using 4ch analog signals (voltage, acceleration, vibration, sound, etc.), and signals from the control data of the monitored device can be used as the trigger. PLEXLOGGER will capture without fail any unexpected phenomenon.

Analysis of the cause of gear noise

<Actual image>

Noise is generated when the gear moves to the right and to the left, but the cause cannot be identified visually.

<Image by PLEXLOGGER>

It was possible to confirm that the noise was generated when the gear hit the left side by synchronously recording the high-speed video image and the data waveform using the noise meter and then checking the data on site.
It is also possible to thoroughly examine the detailed analysis data on a PC by using our accessory analysis software for PCs.

By combining the functions of our data logger, which includes a camera capable of capturing high-speed video images and a logger, it is possible to obtain various data that would have been otherwise difficult to obtain.
PLEXLOGGER is useful in the following areas and scenarios.

  • Advanced visualization will improve development speed dramatically.
  • It will be possible to share various data among concerned groups.
  • It will be possible to unearth the causes of certain problems.
  • Site workers can actively use the device.
  • Man-hour required resolving problems can be reduced.
  • The effects of problem resolution and improvements can be checked.
