The Emerson CSI 2130 is a robust, portable vibration data collector and machinery health analyzer designed to identify early signs of equipment deterioration. The unit is widely used for condition monitoring in industrial settings, helping maintenance teams detect faults in rotating machinery—such as bearings, gears, and motors—before they lead to costly unplanned downtime.
Product Overview
The CSI 2130 integrates multiple diagnostic tools into a single, ruggedized handheld device. It is capable of performing vibration analysis, dynamic balancing, and laser shaft alignment, providing actionable data that can be uploaded to AMS Machinery Manager software for comprehensive analysis and reporting.
