SKF has launched a compact 8-channel version of its highly popular IMx machine health monitoring platform. Initially targeted at the offshore wind and marine sectors, this versatile system brings affordable machine health monitoring to a much wider industrial user base. The Multilog IMx-8 eight-channel unit provides an attractive option for users of mechanical and fluid power train applications, while the combination of an event capture feature will appeal to machine tool users requiring a cost-effective crash detection capability. Unlike its 16 and 32 channel variants, the compact DIN-rail mounting 8-channel IMx-8 takes up very little cabinet space, so it can be installed into instrument cabinet enclosures.
