PRUFTECHNIK VIBXPERT EX Dual Channel FFT Data Collector and Signal Analyzer

 VIBXPERT EX – Intrinsically Safe FFT Data Collector & Vibration Analyzer for Hazardous Areas

The VIBXPERT EX is a next-generation, intrinsically safe two-channel FFT data collector and signal analyzer engineered for use in hazardous industrial zones. Designed for explosive environments such as refineries, petrochemical plants, offshore rigs, and chemical facilities, it provides fast, reliable condition monitoring and troubleshooting for rotating machinery.

This rugged-grade instrument captures vibration data, bearing condition, inspection notes, and process information, all fully compatible with the OMNITREND® software ecosystem for streamlined analysis.

 High-Performance Machinery Monitoring in ATEX Zone 1

 Certified Intrinsic Safety for Explosive Environments

VIBXPERT EX carries a II 2 G Ex ib IIC T4 intrinsic safety rating and is fully ATEX Zone 1 compliant, allowing technicians to measure machine condition without additional protective equipment or workarounds.

 Designed for Hazardous Industrial Operations

Ideal for industries that demand precision and safety, including:

• Petrochemical processing

• Fuel and gas refineries

• Offshore oil and gas platforms
