Condition Monitoring Pod (CMPOD)

Next Generation Machine Inspection & Fault Detection.

Easy Fault Detection

Early detection of machine faults and abnormal wear is key to machine reliability. The longer the interval, the more likely an early detection; saving machines and money. The CMP delivers huge benefits over less frequent oil sampling and other condition monitoring activities.

Comprehensive Inspection

Most sight glass level gauges are used only to confirm oil volume. Many root causes and symptoms of machine failure are missed due to the limited ability of these sight glasses. The CMP is a multi-parameter inspection pod that greatly modernizes and expands daily one-minute inspections.

Introducing the Condition Monitoring Pod

Most bull’s eye level gauges are used only to confirm oil volume. Many root causes and symptoms of machine failure are missed due to the limited ability of these sight glasses. The CMP is a multi-parameter inspection pod that greatly modernizes and expands the daily one-minute inspections.

3-D Sight Glass

Not only does the 3-D sight glass enable quick inspection for water emulsions, foam, sediment and bubbly oil, it can be easily removed for cleaning. Capability without complexity.

Included Sample Port

The built-in oil sampling valve lets you take live-zone oil samples without shutting down the machine. Because it’s included, you don’t have to purchase and install a separate sampling valve. Saves you time and money.

Magnetic Plug

The included magnetic plug offers hands-free inspection. Dark oil? Just rotate the sight glass to move the magnetic plug above oil level or remove it for detailed inspection. It’s quick glance wear debris inspection at its best.

Oil Level Crosshairs

Need precision oil level monitoring? Crosshairs ensure you know exactly where the oil level stands and makes what could be a vague inspection parameter much more accurate and streamlined.

Issue Detection Probe

Now you can easily spot corrosion and varnish issues that would typically require opening the machine. The included inspection rod provides quick confirmation of corrosion suppression of oil-wet and non-oil-wet surfaces.

Quick Access Point

Remove the inspection rod to access the oil for your field tests like water contamination, dielectric constant, oil temperature, viscosity, blotter, surface tension and more. A quick syringe sample enables a variety of tests.
