Vibration Analysis

vibration analysis results

The COBRA II dual channel vibration analyzer is a versatile yet compact instrument that combines all of the diverse technologies required for high-end engine vibration analysis, rotor track and balance, and propeller balance into one tool. With the Cobra II, all of these maintenance functions can be easily performed on virtually any airframe and engine type, such as a 2-propeller airplane.

LARGE FULL-COLOR SCREEN

The COBRA II has a large, high-resolution, transmissive, full-color display with a super-bright LED backlight that can be easily viewed in direct sunlight.

PDF REPORTING

Generate PDF reports directly from the analyzer and store on a USB flash drive to be printed or saved in a separate location to retain accurate maintenance records.

PORTABLE CONVENIENCE

Data storage, transfer, display and analysis is independent of any proprietary software and a PC interface. Application notes and eSetups are now available to download directly to the analyzer via the web.

SOLUTIONS GENERATED

The compact COBRA II dual channel analyzer provides accurate solutions in the minimum number of runs, saving costly run time and fuel. Our solutions are extremely valuable tools that are not offered in similar vibration analysis and balancing instruments as a standard feature for this market.

"...[balancing of the Bell Jet Ranger 206B3] was accomplished with one-third of the test flights that other systems required..."

Joe Landers

"...I have found the ACES Systems Model 2020 ProBalancer to be a very reliable piece of equipment.  It has an easy installation, it's easy to use and understand, not to mention that it's been a real time-saver.  It is not uncommon to have the Robinson R22 and R44 helicopters balanced to .02 IPS.  That's quite impressive!"

"...using another system, it took over 20 cycles and two days to track and balance our MD500D.  Since purchasing the Model 2020 (ProBalancer), we have properly balanced our MD500D in 5 cycles, and it took less than one day."

The equipment is so easy to use that we figured out how to use the equipment and successfully did the necessary job (TFE731 vibration survey).

An unanticipated bonus of this equipment...paid for itself with this usage alone (AStar, Citation SII, and Challenger 601).

"The Cobra II is a great system! I used it only 2 days after receiving it the first week of September '21 and was able to successfully complete a dynamic balance in one shot. Needing just the initial reading run and the adjustment run. Fantastic, smart system. I've used two times since with superb results. And ability to make the reports and put them on the usb flash for easy printing or distribution, excellent. Now I just need some extra time to read and figure out the rest of the bells and whistles a little more. Thanks to all @ ACES for the great system and as always awesome support."

Relative Humidity: 10-85% (non-condensing)
AC Input: The data acquisition system is capable of measuring AC values to 9.5V Peak-Peak.
Sensor Types: The analyzer will accept any vibration signal input (acceleration, velocity, or displacement.) The input is then displayed as collected or integrated to any other vibration unit. The vibration input will accept any voltage -generating sensor
(must have external charge converter when in charge mode) and will supply power to the sensor when required. The Cobra II only accepts acceleration or velocity inputs.
Analysis Range: Anti-aliasing filters are used with a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to accurately transform data from the time to the frequency domain. The analyzer will perform FFT resolutions of 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 lines.
