SKF Condition Monitoring Centre ( Livingston ) can provide Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology as part of our technology building blocks. A DSP can be populated on our standard Digital Processing Board, as determined by individual customer requirements.

Digital Signal Processing is a powerful technology that uses computer processing to understand and interpret real world signals.

For calculation intensive applications requiring extensive high speed signal processing, reliance on the central CPU may compromise the overall device performance.

So, for computationally intensive applications, such as real-time FFT signal analysis, a high performance DSP can be added to the standard SKF computing and instrumentation platform. This opens up a world of powerful data acquisition possibilities.

This option is widely used companies servicing, for example, the machine health monitoring and vibration data collection markets.

DSP - In-house Expertise

Several generations of SKF CMC Livingston products have used DSP technology. As a result we have developed significant in-house expertise in the design and implementation of embedded digital signal processing.

With a background in Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) applications and through developing noise & vibration instrumentation, SKF has gained a world class capability to produce custom algorithms to optimize signal processing and interpretation. Our engineers understand the intricacies of developing Digital Signal Processing based solutions and how to implement and test DSP technologies to provide the best results.

This in-house capability is available to OEM's and solution providers who need to produce sophisticated analytical devices to meet niche customer requirements.

If you have an instrumentation or computing requirement which is processor intensive or requires the use of a DSP please contact us, we would be delighted to discuss your project further with you.
