Spectro Inc. LaserNet Fines C  

Wear Particle Fluid Analyzer

LaserNet Fines technology combines laser imaging and artificial intelligence to characterize wear debris in batch oil samples of large machines to avoid costly and unscheduled downtime.   Particle and Surface Sciences Australia distribute and service the Spectro range of products in Australia.

Its laser-imaging device identifies objects greater than 5 microns and identifies by wear type objects greater than 20 microns. A neural-net classifier uses object shape and size features to sort particles into various categories such as cutting wear, fatigue wear, sliding wear, and oxides. Particles are then sorted into several bins, including NAS categories of 5-15 microns, 15-25 microns, 25-50 microns, and greater than 50 microns.

Features Include :
o Small size and user friendly interface for shipboard or field deployment
o Algorithms to perform shape analysis, wear particle identification and machine condition assessment.
o Particles counted are greater than 5 µm
o Particles greater than 20 µm are classed by neural network as "cutting, fatigue, severe sliding and oxides"
o Touch screen and LCD user interface
o Provides ISO 4406 cleanliness rating
o Provides NAS 1638 cleanliness rating
o Automatic adjustment for fluid darkness
o Built-in data-base for machine condition trending
