UAS3
Advanced Ultrasound Condition-Based Maintenance Software for Asset Monitoring
UAS3 is an advanced ultrasound predictive maintenance platform for managing your asset-condition data. It helps reliability teams measure, trend, and analyze ultrasound and vibration data with precision and ease.
Seamless Workflow between Hardware & Software
Bridge the gap between precision data and advanced analysis. Together UAS3, SDT340, SDT270, and LUBExpert deliver an end-to-end condition monitoring solution that empowers reliability teams to monitor and manage asset health.
Signature Analysis for a Variety of Applications
Customizable trend views, high-resolution time and spectrum data, and powerful analysis tools give you the insights needed to make informed decisions.
Combine UAS3’s intuitive alarm system and streamlined report. generation to ensure clear communication between technical teams and decision-makers.
Gain a holistic view of bearing health, regardless of rotational speed.
Trend friction and impacting energy to detect early-stage wear before vibration or temperature changes occur.
Avoid common failure modes like over- and under-lubrication by lubricating bearings with precision.
UAS3 and LUBExpert work together to confirm every bearing receives the right amount of grease.
Identify arcing, tracking, partial discharge, and corona before they escalate to costly downtime or dangerous failures.
Trend and analyze electrical signatures to prioritize safe, timely intervention.
Reduce energy waste and corrosion by identifying failed steam traps.
Differentiate between failed-open, failed-closed, and cycling conditions to target maintenance effectively.
Monitor valve condition and performance before it impacts production.
Detect turbulence, restriction, and cavitation—the destructive collapse of vapor bubbles that damages valves and pumps.
Use airborne ultrasound inspection to detect coupling misalignment, lack of lubrication, and looseness from a safe distance.
Prevent secondary bearing or seal damage through early detection and correction.
Advanced Signal Analysis with The Bearing Toolbox
Trending bearing data with ultrasound is essential for identifying early warning signs of wear and giving reliability teams time to take proactive action. However, most ultrasound analysis software falls short, offering only basic analysis tools that don’t uncover the root causes of failure.
SDT’s Bearing Toolbox forever changed ultrasound bearing analysis by adding a massive
bearing database with over 50,000 references and corresponding fault frequency cursors.
This level of analysis was previously exclusive to high-end vibration analysis software, but
the Bearing Toolbox levels the playing field for ultrasound inspectors.
Working with UAS3
Easy to Use
UAS3 includes helpful features that make complex analysis simple. A tree-structured database organizes inspection points across your facility, while customizable dashboards and trend views keep navigation fast and intuitive.
Versatile Analysis
UAS3 offers powerful tools for every application. Analyze bearing condition, lubrication quality, electrical faults, valve performance, and steam trap health. Reveal the source of problems and can act with confidence.
Powerful Reporting
UAS3 simplifies communication and decision-making. Automated alarms, custom report templates, and one-click exports make reporting quick and effective. Highlight what’s healthy, what’s changing, and what’s needed.
Tree-Structured Database
A 7-level database provides clear navigation through every inspection point in your facility. Organize assets logically, simplify route setup, and keep your entire condition monitoring program structured and scalable.
Measurement Matrix
The Measurement Matrix displays the previous four readings side by side for quick comparison. Instantly spot changes, verify data consistency, and track performance over time without digging through multiple screens.
Time Waveform
Visualize friction, impacting, and lubrication events in real time. This detailed view helps pinpoint bearing distress, looseness, and mechanical anomalies the moment they begin to develop.
Dynamic Spectrum
View the dynamic spectrum of your data to uncover what’s really happening inside your assets. Drill down to apply sophisticated tools and identify harmonics, sidebands, and fault frequencies with precision.
Static Trend
Customizable trend indicators simplify long-term health tracking. Trend acceleration, velocity, RMS, Max RMS, Peak, and Crest Factor to see exactly how asset condition evolves over time.
Intuitive Alarms
Safe, Relative, and Absolute alarms alert you when data indicates the need for action. Color-coded thresholds and clear visuals make it easy to prioritize what matters and respond before failure occurs.
Getting started with condition monitoring doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
