The Key to Machine Health

Proper lubrication is essential for the function and longevity of any machine. To determine whether your oil still performs according to specifications, several critical key oil condition categories must be monitored. These categories are:

• Contamination
  Detects the quantity of particles and its origin, water, fuel, or other impurities compromising oil quality.
• Wear
  Indicates early signs of component degradation in gear boxes, bearings, pistons, etc. through analyzing metallic debris.
• Oil Composition
  Detection of oil composition changes even if the oil looks “clean”, monitoring of viscosity, acidity, oxidation, and additive levels, etc. and helps to evaluate oil health and operational conditions.
  Changes to any of these categories enable maintenance teams to identify early problems, take immediate action and prevent serious damage or unexpected downtime.

eralab OCM Pro

eralab OCM Pro provides a comprehensive OCM solution, monitoring all three critical categories like contamination, wear and oil composition.

eralab OCM Pro is tailored to give you clear answers to key questions such as:

• Is any part of my machine beginning to fail based on the wear metals found?
• Are there any signs of wrong operation conditions?
• What is the chemistry of wear and contamination?
• Did I use the correct oil when refilling?
• Has the composition of the oil changed?
• Is my oil clean enough for operation?
• Is my oil wet?

After taking four simple measurements, the data is sent to the erasoft OCM. The software then analyses the results, triggers alarms and warnings based on the condition of the oil and generates a report on its health as well as, providing recommended maintenance actions for the maintenance team.

eralab OCM Pro’s extensive analysis of the oil reduces risk of unplanned downtime, extends oil drain intervals and maximizes machine lifetime as well as enables optimization of local maintenance plans.

eralab OCM Pro consists of erasoft OCM with the following analyzers: eraspec oil + eraoil + eravisc X + eracount xs
