Carry-On VXP
System Components
We deliver high performance and high reliability through component, sub-system, and platform-level solutions for existing and new military applications.
The Honeywell VXP System consists of the VXP Acquisition Unit (AU), VXP Display Unit (DU), software, and associated carry-on kit and sensors. The VXP System interfaces to vibration and tachometer sensors located throughout the aircraft and additionally to the optional FasTrak™ Optical Tracker for Main Rotor blade tracking.
VXP software is divided into two major systems.
The first is the Operational Program, which resides permanently in EPROM memory of the VXP AU and the second is the support software that resides on the VXP DU, such as VXP Display Program, Vib Review™ trending software, and the VibraLog™ advanced predictive maintenance software. All data is date-time stamped and can be correlated to other aircraft data systems (i.e., FDR / HFDM).
VXP Features:
- Crisp, sunlight readable, active-matrix color display
- Easy to use touch screen interface
- Fast six channel simultaneous data acquisition
- Expanded Smart Chart™ capabilities for balancing and analysis procedures
- Comprehensive input capabilities with 48 vibration, 6 photocell/mag, FasTrak™ and accessory channels
- Portable, on-board, commercial and military configurations available
- Performance of 75 KHz frequency range, resolution to 51,200 lines and >90 dB dynamic range
- Instant feedback of maintenance actions with on-aircraft printer
- Clear on-screen help with graphics and troubleshooting procedures
System Components
The VXP System has two main components - the Display Unit (DU) hand held computer and the Acquisition Unit (AU). The VXP meets MIL Specs for environment and EMI. The fully ruggedized design means greater reliability and trouble free operation in the harshest flight line conditions.
Additional EMI hardening for shipboard operation is available as an option.
Growth and Expansion
As platforms and technology continue to evolve, frequent changes to comply with these rapidly changing protocols, mandates and requirements are typically necessary.
The VXP AU has been specifically designed to support technology upgrades as they occur, as has the DU's capability to support more robust and user-friendly ground support equipment and software tools.
Capabilities
All of the Zing products are focused on the collection, processing, and interpretation of data generated by the various components within an aircraft's drive train, including engines, gearboxes, shafts, fans, rotor systems, and other dynamic components.
In all cases, vibration spectra can be viewed in the field at the engine, within the test cell or any other platform location.
This data collected and also retained to allow a more detailed analysis by any skilled technician with access to a PC.
