The table on page 5 summarizes the enormous selection of measurement types available in the 3500. This allows it to be applied to an extremely wide-range of rotating and reciprocating machinery in many industries. Below are just a few of the more common applications that can be easily addressed by the 3500 System. If your specific machine doesn’t appear on the list, just ask us. Chances are, our applications engineers have already developed a solution that’s right for you. And, with our extensive custom applications capabilities, we can easily modify off-the-shelf 3500 solutions to handle your nonstandard applications and signal processing requirements.
