Hi, first time posting here, but I have lurked for years...
At an auction recently, I picked up a Vibrotip machine analyzer that looks to be used for analyzing vibration characteristics, bearing issues, etc., for rotating machines. Looks to be a pretty sophisticated instrument, and the ones on ebay are *asking* $500-$1000. Appears that most of em are being salvaged from ships being broken down in Asia.
Is anyone on here using such instruments for analyzing or doing PM's on their machines? I'm just wondering how useful you have found them to be.
Since I am at the hobby level, its not likely that such an instrument would make much use for me. Anyone have any thoughts on good/interesting uses for it?
Thanks!
