Mechanical Solutions, Inc. (MSI), a leading provider of solutions for complex or urgent vibration, dynamics, or performance related problems in critical rotating machinery and systems, today announced VibVue™, a tool to help engineers and technicians identify and solve critical vibration issues. VibVue™ obtains vibration measurements and associated analysis using a high-speed camera and novel software solution for faster, easier, and less error-prone diagnosis of vibration and system dynamics problems.
Streamlined Software Delivers Measurements You Need, Without the Wait
Until now, reliability and maintenance engineers have struggled with cumbersome, less-sensitive, commercially available tools that help visualize machinery vibration. There are shortcomings in the underlying video processing technology, which produces the vibration measurements. As a result, engineers ultimately settle on missed measurements due to limited frequency span or low displacement amplitude, and spend significant time working through data to get an analysis result.
Now, with VibVue™ technology, engineers and technicians can maximize a commercially available video processing tool to get accurate vibration measurements at low displacement levels and high frequencies, and intuitively analyze the resulting data to quickly identify and solve vibration issues.
VibVue™ combines Motion Magnification technology – a proven solution licensed from a major university – with streamlined, intuitive software to help engineers precisely and easily acquire and analyze the data needed to quickly pinpoint root causes of vibration problems. Using VibVue™ will result in lower maintenance costs, reduced problem resolution time, and decreased machine or plant downtime.
“The VibVue system is the best tool we have to get funds approved to fix the right thing at the right time,” said Gary Adams, Director of Reliability Solutions at John H. Carter. “With VibVue, management gets a clear, precise, visual understanding of vibration issues in a system.”
Complete Solutions for Vibration and System Dynamics Problems
MSI designed VibVue™ for accuracy and simplicity, with extremely low levels of displacement detection, greater frequency range, and faster analysis time. The solution magnifies motion up to 1,000x – twenty times more powerful than advertised by other commercially available solutions.
VibVue™ system support includes a review of customer videos by MSI’s own rotating machinery troubleshooting professionals. If identified problems require more time or expertise than customers have access to, MSI can deploy teams with deep experience solving vibration or system dynamics problems to diagnose the issue and propose effective fix options.
VibVue™ Features and Benefits
Overall, users find that VibVue™ is faster, easier to implement, and more versatile than traditional methods, allowing problems to be diagnosed more easily, and with more certainty. For more information, visit https://www.mechsol.com/products/vibvue/.

At ROS GAS EXPO, Jereh, a global leading oil & gas solution provider, showcased LNG fueling, gas compression and liquefaction solutions which are specially designed to satisfy the needs of Russian gas fields.
Natural gas is one of the most eco-friendly and cost-effective motor fuels, with up to 10 times less hazardous emissions compared to other fuels, and with an average price of about RUB 16 per cubic meter.
The production and marketing of natural gas (methane) as a vehicle fuel is one of Gazprom’s priorities. It plans to complete the construction of 43 NGV refueling units in 2019.
Jereh has built market-based solutions from gas compression, treatment, liquefaction to gas fueling. This July, Jereh was contracted to build 10 LNG fueling stations, which is believed to be the biggest order for LNG fueling within the Russian market till now. Jereh is going to provide modular design, procurement, manufacture, as well as commissioning. The total fueling capacity is estimated to reach 500 million liters per year.
Early this year, Jereh delivered truck mounted electric-driven screw compressor package to Russia. Up to now, Jereh has offered over 50 compressors and 300 sets of well service equipment to Russia and Central Asia market.
Heat preservation and equipment stability are two highly important features due to harsh climate as well as low temperature environment in Russia. That’s why adaptable and reliable Jereh equipment had gained customers’ trust since its entering into the market.
Upholding a localization strategy, 95% of total employees are native speakers. Also, a service and parts center was set up in Nizhnevartovsk this march, better serving regional market by providing in-time and efficient maintenance service.
President of Jereh Group, Mr. Li Zhiyong says, “The event is an effective platform for us to communicate with customers and partners. It’s an opportunity to discuss topical issues of the industry.
“In the future, Jereh shall keep on developing customized solutions that best cater to the needs of clients.” He added.
