Turbomachinery Vibration Solution: ORBIGate

Overview

Do you deal with Turbines, Compressors, Pumps, Gear Boxes or other Turbomachines? Do you have issues with their rotor and bearing vibrations? Do you work in a power plant, a chemical site or a turbomachinery service center?
Then ORBIGate is your test solution: from now on, Orbits, Shaft Center lines, Bode diagrams and many other displays will be brought to your finger tips in the most user-friendly software environment!

Main Features

Vector data: DC Gap voltage, Peak-Peak, nX values (Amplitude & Phase) for up to 6 selectable orders including subharmonics
Orbits and nX Orbits: Shaft dynamic motion for each of the machine train bearings
Shaft Center Line: Shaft position displayed during a machine start-up at different times and RPMs ticks
Bode and Nyquist Diagram: Amplitude and Phase of each vector values can be displayed as a function of time or RPM
Shaft view: Displays time domain data as a function of the angle of machine rotation
Frequency spectra
Raw time domain continuous recording

Dedicated to the Turbomachinery world

TurboMachinery, Energy, Oil and Gas or Chemical and Petrochemicals are demanding industries where you need to optimize your time in monitoring and maintaining rotating machines. OROS, aware of your specific needs, offers a tool to analyze the machines running on fluid film bearings with typical displays adapted to the relative motion of the shafts in their bearings.

The Portable Solution for TurboMachinery Vibration

Based on its long history of portable and rugged Noise and Vibration analyzers, and its wide range of Noise and Vibration testing solutions, OROS now offers its dedicated solution for TurboMachinery Vibration.
Friendly and easy to use, ORBIGate is designed by users for users. Completely on line within the OROS analyzers’ technology, this software is made for the field.

Application-oriented for your Efficiency

Factory Acceptance Test

During the acceptance process, ORBIGate records the critical parameters, shows the typical displays of the rotor relative vibrations and positions. An automatic report, through a customized template can be edited and printed. Data can be stored during the acceptance process for later post-analysis if required.

Site Acceptance Test

ORBIGate is used for the rotating tests and benefits of the OROS solutions range such as OROS Modal 2 for the other tests. The portability and ruggedness of OROS analyzers is key when realizing these on-site tests. A user-friendly software interface as well as customized report templates are also important in these measurement environments.

Troubleshooting & Diagnostic

The issue at the end is always to reduce the vibration level but the origin can be of multiple sorts: high excitation due to unbalance, misalignment or instabilities but also high structural coupling with the machine and its foundation. In this case, a number of tools such as ORBIGate, Modal 2, Balancing, or NVGate the general platform for noise and vibration analysis may be required to face the issue.

Dedicated to your Demanding World

Turbomachinery

ORBIGate analyzes the machines running on fluid film bearings and offers the typical displays adapted to the relative motion of the shafts in their bearings within a dedicated and user friendly environment.

Energy

Whenever power generators are driven by gas turbines, hydro turbines, or steam turbines, ORBIGate is used to proceed to their vibration analysis. Talking of acceptance tests on the manufacturers test benches or troubleshooting vibrations in the field: in both cases the ORBIGate software solution and OROS analyzers are the trustworthy companions to carry out the tests.

Oil and Gas

Downtime is critical and no compromise can be done on the quality of the test equipment of compressors. Vibrations, representative of the machine health, are subject to be captured under a number of circumstances: from the initial acceptance test at the manufacturer place to the fault diagnostic to be carried out on an offshore platform. ORBIGate ease of use, combined with the portability and reliability of OROS analyzers, makes it the solution for your vibration tests on oil and gas turbomachines.

Chemical and Petrochemical

When vibration issues arise, the time allocated to vibration tests is reduced to the minimum. You need tools to capture vibration data efficiently and accurately, reducing the number of machine runups and rundowns to what is proposed. ORBIGate, will let you carry out your tests on all sensors simultaneously with an intuitive, dedicated software interface.
