Vibration is one channel.
Industrial sensing
isn't.
No single sensor sees every kind of failure. Tuning Fork is purpose-built for vibration — but Industria Machina ships a whole portfolio of complementary modalities, and the platform fuses verdicts across all of them. Pick what each asset actually needs.
High-bandwidth MEMS accelerometer, three axes, 25.6 kHz. The sensor on this page. Best for rotating equipment and impact-driven faults.
Wide-FOV LWIR microbolometer that watches a whole machine continuously. Catches lubrication starvation, electrical hot spots, and bearing rises before they vibrate.
Ultrasonic contact transducer that hears 100 kHz–1 MHz stress waves. Detects crack initiation, valve leaks, and pump cavitation invisible to vibration.
Hall-effect clamp on the motor lead. Reads stator faults, broken rotor bars, and load asymmetries from the electrical side instead of the mechanical side.
Pressure, flow, and temperature taps that fuse process variables with mechanical data. Distinguishes a misbehaving machine from a misbehaving feedstock.
Field-photo analyzer trained on thousands of real service reports. Snap a photo of a tube sheet, impeller, valve, or coupling and Luthier returns a condition rating with numbered, severity-tagged annotations on the image itself.
Built for the plant,
not the lab.
Off-the-shelf vibration sensors are designed for a lab bench, not a fastener line. They demand wiring runs, scheduled shutdowns, lab-bench tolerances, and a network connection per device. We took those four constraints apart from the silicon up.
Hard-anodized 6061 aluminum housing, sealed against dust and washdown, with stainless fasteners. Survives oil, coolant, swarf, and the occasional drop from a ladder.
25.6 kHz sampling on each of three axes resolves bearing fault frequencies, gear-mesh harmonics, and structural resonances up to half the Nyquist band — more than enough to catch what a plant lives on.
On-board ARM compute processes the raw waveform locally. Only health verdicts, spectra, and feature vectors travel over your network — so adding a sensor doesn't mean adding bandwidth.
Integrated rare-earth magnetic mount engages on any ferrous surface. WiFi auto-config registers with the gateway in under 90 seconds. No drilling, no shutdowns, no scheduling.
Cheap enough to swap,
not service.
We engineered unit cost down hard. A failed sensor is a five-minute swap at the bench, not a service call — pull the bad unit, magnetic-mount a spare, and keep running. Deploy as many as you need across the plant; if one ever dies, recycling and replacement are cheaper than diagnosis.
Hard-anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, laser-engraved Tuning Fork mark, EPDM gasket. IP67-rated.
Low-noise MEMS sensor on a dedicated daughter board. Three orthogonal axes — radial, axial, tangential — capture the full vibration signature.
ARM Cortex-M33 at 200 MHz with 3 MB RAM. Runs the on-board feature extractor, fault classifier, and conformal threshold check.
3.7 V, 1700 mAh. ~6 months continuous on a single charge, 12+ months on duty-cycled monitoring before the unit goes back on the charger.
Stainless M2 hardware, brass spacers, and vibration-damping isolators between the sensor board and the housing — external mechanical noise stays out of the data.
Rare-earth magnet array delivers ~80 lbf of pull on any clean steel surface. A sacrificial wear cap on the mount takes the scuffs and dings instead of the housing.
VIB-X7 · Engineering data.
Every spec that matters for procurement, install planning, and integration with your existing CMMS or historian.
From box to dashboard in two minutes.
No drilling, no rewiring, no shutdowns. The sensor is designed to drop onto a running machine and start streaming within the time it takes to walk to the next bay.
Magnetic mount engages on bearing housings, gearbox covers, motor end-bells, or any ferrous surface near the load path. No drilling, no shutdowns, no maintenance window required.
Press the side button. The Photon 2 boots, joins your WiFi via auto-provisioning, and registers itself with the gateway as a new sensor.
Within ~90 seconds the sensor is publishing live health verdicts, spectra, and time-domain captures to the dashboard. Up and running before lunch.
Open the live dashboard.
Six instrumented machines streaming live health verdicts, spectra, waveforms, and twelve months of historical traces.
