The new loose parts monitoring system KUES '95

The newest generation of loose parts monitoring systems, KUES '95 continuously monitors the noise level picked up by sensors, and records any signal burst that occur. A new technique enables the system to identify and differentiate automatically between noise associated with normal operation and signals generated by loose or detached parts, etc. This makes it possible for false alarms to be practically ruled out. Following automatic detection, the system also performs functions which previously required the efforts of specialist personnel. This includes not only location of loose and detached parts and determination of their mass, but also regular generation of status reports as well as the printing out of comprehensive noise signal documentation and trend plots.
