Marine and Offshore
In the 1960s, Danish ship owner A.P. Møller´s bitter experience was that the cargo pumps of his tankers were breaking down far too often, without forewarning. An inventor and an enterprising financier decided to do something about it.

The SPM method was invented, and since then, SPM has been present in the maritime industry.
Also in the early seventies, the entire fleet of British Petroleum tankers, at that time some 80 vessels, were equipped with shock pulse meters for detecting damaged rolling element bearings before they failed. Today, our condition monitoring instrumentation is installed on board over a thousand vessels.
The maintenance on board vessels has traditionally been based on equipment running time. High demands on the environment, reliability, and ship safety have made condition monitoring widely accepted by classification societies, and it is already an option for most vessels. Knowing the condition of your machinery is crucial to avoiding sudden failures and maximizing equipment lifetime. Timely failure prediction and detection are vital for reducing manpower and spare part inventory to increase profit.

We were looking for a supplier who could solve the specialized problems of our clients regarding slow-turning machinery. We also wanted a software platform that was ‘analysis-friendly. But the most principal factor in our decision to buy the Leonova Diamond was the HD technology.

Products
Since our beginnings, we have continuously developed our product range to include portable instruments, online systems, and accessories specifically suited for shock pulse monitoring of critical rotating machines on board, like pumps, fans, turbochargers, azipods, and electrical motors. Vibration monitoring equipment is used on applications where other problems such as alignment, impeller problems, gear problems, and balancing problems occur. On slowly rotating machinery, the SPM HD® measuring technique can be used with benefit. SPM HD uses RPM-based sampling frequency and algorithmic correlation techniques to ensure the highest possible signal quality and razor-sharp spectrums for analysis.
