eralab OCM: Complete Oil Analysis Platform for Predictive Maintenance

eralab OCM is a comprehensive oil analysis platform designed to empower companies with predictive and proactive maintenance.

By delivering crucial insights into equipment health and lubricant condition, it analyzes and evaluates three key areas: contamination, wear, and oil composition. Implementing eralab OCM leads to reduced costly downtime and lubricant changes, while significantly extending the operational life of machinery.

The Key to Machine Health

The operational integrity and durability of any machine depend on adequate lubrication. To verify that the oil continues to meet performance standards, several key oil condition categories must be monitored. These include:

Contamination

Quantifies particles and their source (water, fuel, or other impurities) impacting oil quality.

Wear

Analyzes metallic debris to detect early signs of component degradation in gearboxes, bearings, pistons, and other parts.

Oil Composition

This system provides comprehensive oil analysis, detecting even subtle changes in composition, including those in visually clean oil. It monitors key parameters, such as viscosity, acidity, oxidation, and additive levels, to accurately assess the health of the oil and overall operational conditions.

Modifications within these categories empower maintenance teams to spot initial problems, intervene promptly, and avert significant damage or unscheduled downtime.

The eralab OCM Pro delivers a comprehensive Oil Condition Monitoring (OCM) solution, encompassing the monitoring of three vital categories: contamination, wear, and oil composition.

This system is specifically engineered to furnish clear responses to crucial inquiries such as:

• Is the oil wet?
• Is any part of my machine starting to fail based on the wear metals found?
• Are there any signs of wrong operation conditions?
• Has the oil composition changed?
• What is the chemistry of wear and contamination?
• Was the appropriate oil used for refilling?
• Is the oil clean enough for operation?

The erasoft OCM receives data from four simple measurements. It then analyzes the results, activating alarms and warnings based on the oil's condition, and provides a report on its health, including recommended maintenance actions for the maintenance team.

eralab OCM Pro's comprehensive oil analysis minimizes unplanned downtime, lengthens oil drain intervals, maximizes machine lifespan, and optimizes local maintenance strategies.

eralab OCM Pro combines eraSoft OCM with the following analyzers for complete oil condition monitoring: eraSpec Oil, eraOil, eraVisc X, and eraCount XS.

eralab OCM Basic offers a focused OCM solution, concentrating on two key oil condition categories: contamination and oil composition. This package is ideal for applications where wear monitoring is not a primary requirement.

eralab OCM Basic is designed to provide straightforward answers to critical questions, including:

• Is the oil wet?
• Was the appropriate oil used for refilling?
• Is the oil clean enough for operation?
• Are there any signs of wrong operation conditions?
• Has the composition of the oil changed?

The eralab OCM Basic, much like its Pro counterpart, simplifies oil health analysis. It requires only three basic measurements to generate a report with all pertinent results and maintenance recommendations. This makes it the perfect starting point for oil condition monitoring, providing the necessary tools to avoid unplanned downtime and extend drain intervals.

eralab OCM Basic combines erasoft OCM with eraspec oil, eravisc X, and eracount xs analyzers.
