SKF Enlight Collect IMx-1

Automated machine monitoring for reliable rotation



SKF vibration sensor IMx-1
The new compact and cost-effective vibration and temperature sensor

As industries move into the future, it is more important than ever for production plants to take advantage of a range of exciting new condition monitoring technologies to make your operation and reliability more predictable, minimize human interaction, and keep costs under control.

SKF Enlight Collect IMx-1 is one such battery operated wireless vibration sensor that is easy to install and forms a scalable mesh network to collect a range of health data from your rotating assets. Results are displayed in easy to understand performance dashboard providing much needed insight into your asset health!

Our latest innovation in reliable rotation

As COVID-19 has led to hard border closures, manual walk-around data collection has been a massive challenge. There needs to be a better more cost-effective way of collecting machinery health data. SKF’s answer to this is the SKF Enlight Collect IMx-1 system – automated machine monitoring for reliable rotation - a smart wireless vibration and temperature sensor applicable to all continuous processing industries.

Seek your inspiration from this article to see how you can enhance your condition monitoring program by harnessing the power of Industry 4.0.
