Applications

Protect assets, control processes, accelerate R&D.

One sensing architecture answers three industrial questions: how an asset is evolving, how a process is behaving, and what a structure experiences from the bench to qualification.

Industrial assets

  • Electric motors driving centrifugal pumps in an industrial plant.

    Health monitoring

    Understand how critical assets evolve before their behaviour becomes a failure.

    Track mechanical condition and reveal patterns linked to wear, lubrication, imbalance and developing faults.

    Outcome Support reliability and maintenance decisions.

  • A CNC milling spindle cutting a metal part under coolant.

    Process monitoring

    Connect production events with the mechanical loads that affect quality and equipment.

    Observe production behaviour in real time to identify drift, abnormal forces, tool wear and quality-relevant events.

    Outcome Improve process control and manufacturing consistency.

Test & measurement

  • A Dragonfly® sensor on a flexible test specimen, clamped in a bending test bench.

    R&D and testing

    Measure what prototypes, structures and mechanisms experience, from the lab bench to qualification.

    Measure strain, vibration, force, shock and torsion directly on test benches, prototypes and structures under qualification.

    Outcome Give engineering teams better evidence for design and validation.

Asset use cases

Measured gains on the assets that matter.

Dragonfly® is bonded where the mechanical event starts, and reads what a housing accelerometer blurs.

  • The gear train of an industrial gearbox, close up.

    Gearbox

    Read every tooth, at 600 RPM.

    In a worm-gear reducer where accelerometers drown the <10 Hz mechanical signatures, Dragonfly® reads tooth-level vibration in real time.

  • The tool turret of a CNC lathe.

    Spindle

    Read the spindle bearing, at full speed.

    In a machining spindle where accelerometers smear bearing faults and chatter into structural noise, Dragonfly® reads mechanical strain at the source.

  • A ball screw on a machine test bench.

    Ball screw

    Ball screws don't fail. They starve.

    Dragonfly® reads lubrication level, misalignment and raceway signatures at the source, live and on-axis, weeks before performance breaks.

    Discuss with us
  • The copper windings of an electric machine.

    Winding

    Catch the winding loosening, years before it fails.

    Where accelerometers can't trend the faint 2× line-frequency drift, Dragonfly® reads winding and core-stack looseness at the source, continuously.
