VibraSens manufactures IEPE vibration sensors that are compatible with hundreds of data acquisition systems from various manufacturers. As many of these manufacturers are our customers, we maintain neutrality and do not recommend one specific system.
We believe IEPE vibration sensors will remain essential because they provide the raw output critical for in-depth vibration analysis. This raw data will be even more vital with the upcoming advancements in AI for automatic pattern recognition.
In contrast, vibration sensors with digital outputs (like IO-Link, Wireless, ModBus, or HART) transmit only processed scalar values (e.g., Acceleration RMS, Velocity RMS, Crest Factor, Kurtosis). While these tell you that your machine has a problem, they don't provide the detailed raw data needed for a vibration expert to pinpoint where the problem is located.
