LEADING-EDGE VIBRATION ANALYSIS
What’s the best way to transform a good product into
something that is truly best in class? Listen to your
customers, of course!
Using as our benchmark the legendary vb3000™
instrument, our most popular portable vibration analysis
instrument, we engineered the all-new vb7 instrument’s
electronics from the ground up using state-of-the-art,
lightweight components; we then sculpted the vb7
instrument into a superbly comfortable tool designed
both by and for predictive maintenance
professionals.
Delivering unmatched customer value is the core
philosophy driving Commtest’s innovation efforts. We
understand that what you value most is the ability to
complete your work as quickly and comfortably as
possible, confident that you are getting high quality
data first time, every time. With customer feedback
directly guiding our product development, the all-new
vb7 instrument offers usability enhancements that are
sure to make your working relationship a pleasant
one.
The vb7 instrument’s elegant ergonomics are what
catches the eye first. The vb7 instrument has been
contoured to fit comfortably in your hands, providing
hours of strain-free use. Also employed is an innovative
neck-strap attachment system designed to ensure that the
instrument remains horizontally balanced while
collecting data. The keypad offers true right and
left-handed operation using raised keys that provide a
reassuring tactile response. On-screen menu choices are
highlighted with intuitive icons, ensuring a minimum of
key presses are required to access the most frequently
used functions.

In
addition to refined ergonomics, a larger and clearer LCD
display now provides simultaneous two-channel display
with enhanced graphic capabilities.
Just one of the vb7 instrument’s enhancements that
must be experienced first-hand is its amazingly light
weight: fully 40% lighter than its predecessors. The vb7
instrument offers true two-channel on-route data
collection with data collection speed further maximized
by Commtest’s unique patent-pending adaptive settling
technology. In addition, the vb7 instrument offers a
battery life of over ten hours, fast data transfer via
USB and Ethernet, and a massive 1 GB of onboard memory.
Together, these refinements mean you will spend less
time with your vb7 instrument sitting idle connected to
the battery charger or PC, and more time out in the
field.

The vb7 instrument is an
all-in-one tool suitable for every level of vibration
analyst, from novice through to expert. The
Ascent® software contains the
collective experience of over 25 years of expert
in-depth machine fault analysis.
1. Users with no prior experience or without
previously recorded vibration history can now establish
a measurement program utilizing proven baseline values
from ISO standards and “The Proven Method” from
Technical Associates.*
2. Experienced users can now generate meaningful
spectral alarm bands automatically rather than just
relying on basic overall alarms or spectral band
guesswork. Statistical alarm creation ensures that
families of similar machines are compared consistently
against developing trends.
3. Veteran analysts can now objectively evaluate and
compare their findings against a time-tested and proven
historical foundation. Statistical alarm editing and
adjusting ensures the alarms remain fine-tuned for
maximum usefulness.
