Fluid control equipment manufacturer TLV Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kakogawa City, Hyogo Prefecture; President: Ayako Fujiwara) will launch the vibration checker 'VibLight' on April 15, 2026. This device allows for easy status checks of rotating machinery equipment in factories.
[Product Overview]
- A vibration checker that indicates the status of rotating machinery with light colors.
- The top light displays in 3 stages (blue, yellow, red), allowing anyone to spot abnormalities at a glance.
- Intrinsically safe and explosion-proof, enabling use in explosion-proof areas.
Purpose of Announcement
VibLight: Vibration Checker for Rotating Machinery
'VibLight' is a vibration checker that clearly displays the status of rotating machinery such as pumps, fans, and motors using light colors.
By simply touching the top of the main unit with a commercially available magnet, the status of the rotating machine is displayed in 3 stages (blue, yellow, and red). Even without product knowledge, the presence of abnormalities can be judged on the spot.
Furthermore, it is intrinsically safe and can be used in explosion-proof areas.
It contributes to early detection of equipment trouble by streamlining daily inspections and standardizing judgments.
Name: Rotating Machinery Vibration Checker VibLight
Price: 50,000 yen (excluding tax)
Release Date: April 15, 2026
Sales Target: 5,000 units per year (domestic)

It activates simply by touching it with a commercially available magnet. Based on the measured vibration, the status of the rotating machine is displayed by color.
Background of Development
In factories and plants, vibration diagnostics for rotating machinery required specialized knowledge and analytical skills, which often led to insufficient utilization on site.
Additionally, there was a significant psychological hurdle to changing inspection methods, making it difficult to introduce new equipment.
Given this background, 'VibLight' was developed with the concept of being 'usable by anyone,' 'providing immediate judgment,' and 'being introductible without changing the workflow of daily inspections.'
Features of the Vibration Checker 'VibLight'
1. Intuitive judgment by color
Based on measured vibrations, the status of the rotating machine is displayed in 3 color stages (Blue: Good, Yellow: Caution, Red: Danger). Anyone on site can make an instant judgment. The judgment refers to the ISO 20816 evaluation criteria, based on vibration velocity (mm/s) and target machine class (I-IV).
2. Simple operation just by touching with a magnet
Measurement starts just by touching the top of the main unit with a magnet (*) and releasing it. The status can be checked in about 5 seconds.
*Can be operated with commercially available magnets (such as neodymium magnets).
3. Easy installation with magnets
Can be easily fixed to the rotating machine with the magnet on the bottom. It requires no tools for installation, making introduction to the equipment smooth.
*In the case of non-magnetic materials, the bottom magnet can be removed and installed with M5 screws.
4. Reduces maintenance burden with a long-life battery
Adopts a long-life battery lasting about 10 years (based on one activation per day). This significantly reduces the hassle of battery replacement.
5. Intrinsically safe explosion-proof structure
With an intrinsically safe structure, it can be used in explosion-proof areas.
Applications
Daily inspection and preventive maintenance of rotating machinery such as pumps, fans, and motors.
Basic Specifications
Target of measurement: Rotating machinery (motors, pumps, fans, etc.)
Measurement item: Effective value of vibration velocity (rms)
Frequency band: 10Hz - 1kHz
Measurement direction: 3 axes (X, Y, Z)
Explosion-proof performance: Ex ic IIC T4 Gc
Power supply: Thionyl chloride lithium battery
Due to explosion-proof equipment, only the following models can be used:
Model: SB-AA02 (Tekcell) or XL-050F (XENO)
Rated voltage: 3.6V, Size: 1/2AA
Battery life: Approx. 10 years (assuming 1 activation/day)
Dimensions / Weight: 84 x φ42 mm / approx. 130g (including battery)
