On 6 April 2017, NTN-SNR received the Mechatronics Award, in the “Big Enterprise” category&#160;at the European Mechatronics Meeting, held as part of the INDUSTRIE LYON 2017 show. An&#160;expert in bearings and magnetic sensors, NTN-SNR has developed a range of innovative&#160;solutions for monitoring rotating industrial machines. The Monitor’IT Expert technology, a&#160;Condition Monitoring System, got most of the votes. A plug & play solution aimed at the&#160;Industry of the future. <img src="http://www.bearing.com.cn/RecommendedCompany/ntn1.jpg"> At the 9th edition of the European Mechatronics Meeting 2017, a trophy&#160;was awarded to NTN-SNR in the “Big Enterprise” category for the Monitor’IT Expert. This is a&#160;Condition Monitoring System that pushes back the frontiers of fault detection on mechanical&#160;systems. NTN-SNR has turned to good account its expertise acquired on magnetic sensors to create the&#160;Monitor’IT Expert. This solution combines magnetic and vibratory signals in a single acquisition&#160;box. The end result is total monitoring: bearings, gears, unbalances, misalignments, and structures. Monitor’IT Expert delivers a whole series of indicators on the operational status of machines,&#160;available online and based on thresholds specific to each installation. The monitoring is&#160;supplemented by detailed analysis, along with recommendations, carried out at regular intervals&#160;by NTN-SNR experts. The machines to be monitored are equipped with sensors, installed on the shafts, which measure&#160;the magnetic field emitted by the rotation. The signals are transmitted via an acquisition unit to a&#160;database hosted on a secure NTN-SNR server. Different algorithms are then used to develop the&#160;dashboards and produce the expert analyses. NTN-SNR’s magnetic acquisition technology has four advantages over methods based on vibration&#160;analysis: a sensor separate from the damaged shafting line, slow rotation speed (up to 5 rpm), low&#160;sensitivity to noisy environments, and a smaller number of sensors (60 % fewer in certain cases). NTN-SNR has developed a range suited to all situations. The Monitor’IT Focus is based on&#160;magnetic signal technology. The Monitor’IT Custom, designed to be incorporated into the&#160;products sold by our customers, is also available. NTN-SNR ROULEMENTS, headquartered in Annecy (Haute-Savoie, France), belongs to&#160;Japanese Group NTN Corporation, a global leader in bearings. NTN-SNR manages and&#160;develops all NTN’s activities for the EMEA region and Brazil. NTN-SNR, a major force as&#160;a designer, developer and manufacturer of bearings and sub-assemblies for the&#160;automotive sector, industry and aeronautics, offers a comprehensive range by also&#160;developing maintenance services and solutions. NTN-SNR employs 4,379 people at nine&#160;production sites, including six in France, as well as 18 sales offices.
