Non-contact motion amplification platform
15/02/2019
Iris M from RDI Technologies is said to be the first device of its kind that allows users to see, in real time, motion that is not visible to the human eye. This patented Motion Amplification™ technique lets users see the invisible.The Iris M platform monitors and allows assessment of critical manufacturing operations, processes, quality and structural components that affect plant reliability and productivity.
Iris M is a technology that detects subtle motion and amplifies that motion to a level visible to the naked eye. By turning every pixel in the camera into a sensor, Iris M takes millions of measurements in a fraction of a second. It does this without any physical connection to the machinery or equipment.
Fault types that can be visualised include: piping vibration; reciprocating engine and compressor motion; imbalance; misalignment; soft foot; structural looseness; resonance; structural cracks; duct and vessel wall deflections; structural stiffness and support; torsional twisting, bending and flexing; excessive transient loading; ineffective damping; vibrating screen motion analysis; oscillating motion analysis; cavitation, hydraulic and aerodynamic forces; and drive transmission faults, belts, chains, couplings and Cardan shafts.
The Iris M technology platform delivers real-time video to users, enabling them to make instant decisions about manufacturing operations based on real data. The ability to visualise the entire process while retaining component-level analysis makes Iris M the perfect tool for screening, fault finding, baseline or commissioning and pre/post repairs or retrofits. Every step of the way, Iris M provides specific information about the process or issues at the root of a quality problem.
Iris M’s Motion Amplification software produces an easy-to-understand amplified video of motion across equipment or machinery, which enables far more effective communication between technical and non-technical personnel and enhances decision-making. Videos from the Iris M platform are produced within seconds of data collection.
