Safety Vest System itself


The main goal of the Safety Vest System (SVS) is to enable the safe cooperation of human workers and machinery. Its initial application is in flexible warehouses equipped with robots (AGVs – Automated Guided Vehicles) and a pre-existing safety system but can easily be extended and adapted for other applications where cooperation of humans and […]

Safety Vest System Concept


The safety concept is partitioned into the following three levels: LEVEL A A virtual circle around the human operator acts as a simulated electromagnetic pulse. No movements of mobile robots are allowed within this circle. Even if the human is moving around, all mobile robots will stop at a safe distance from the human. This […]

Importance of shaft torsion measurement


  Vibrations are one of the most important factors that affect the operation and lifetime of electrical rotating machines. Permanent monitoring and periodic vibration tests provide insight into the dynamic state of the machine and can indicate problems during machine exploitation. With hydro generators, for example, radial vibrations are mainly monitored and analyzed and these […]

Self-Powered Diagnostic System


The probability of faults is relatively high for rotating machines working at upper acceptable limits of operation. These faults are caused by electrical, thermal and mechanical, as well as by operational and environmental conditions. The majority of monitoring and protective systems use digital processors that allow utilization of complex criteria for determining the presence of […]
