Acoustics – SoundCam
Early error detection and machine optimization with the SoundCam
In the complex world of conveyor technology, mechanical malfunctions often lead to noise development. This noise does not always have to be audible to the human ear, but the cause investigation is complex and time-consuming. To simplify this process, Klocke Antriebstechnik uses a SoundCam: it visualizes and locates sound sources in real time, enabling quick and thorough identification of problem areas.
Visualization of disturbances caused by sound waves
SoundCam technology opens up new possibilities in the preventive maintenance and optimization of conveyor systems in customer companies. Through the ability to precisely locate and analyze noise sources, potential problems can be identified early on, before they lead to costly failures. This enables proactive maintenance and contributes to extending the lifespan of the machines.
Precision in noise localization: The Acoustic Camera, SoundCam, revolutionizes fault diagnosis in machine acoustics. Benefit from the ability to quickly and accurately locate disruptive noises. Especially in complex systems and challenging applications such as aluminum machining, the SoundCam offers an efficient solution for sound source identification.
Effective problem solving: Machine noise often requires extensive and time-consuming root cause investigations. However, with a SoundCam, noise problems can be analyzed within a few hours and critical sound sources identified. After improvement measures are implemented, the SoundCam documents the successful neutralization of vulnerabilities, thus contributing to the continuous optimization of your systems.
Versatile field of application: Whether in product development, quality management or ongoing plant monitoring – the SoundCam technology is versatile and can be used to reduce noise emissions, increase energy efficiency and optimize the overall performance of conveyor systems. This not only promotes profitability but also improves working conditions in your company.
Preventive maintenance and optimization: The precise localization and analysis of noise sources enables proactive maintenance of your machines. Potential problems are detected early, before they lead to costly breakdowns. This extends the lifespan of your systems and ensures the continuity of your operations.
Trust in expertise and innovation: With our state-of-the-art SoundCam technology and our expertise, we make the invisible world of sound visible for you.

FAQ - Acoustics (SoundCam) & Thermography
What does thermography bring to machines/plants?
Early detection of hot spots (e.g., storage rooms, drives, control cabinets), insulation/contact problems, and uneven heating; supports preventive maintenance, reducing downtime/costs.
When does an acoustic camera (Beamforming/SoundCam) come in handy?
In the rapid localization of leaks, bearing/gear noise, resonances or machining noises (e.g., aluminum machining), to targetly identify the cause.
