Wilcoxon and KCF Technologies partnership Enhances KCF’s Predictive Maintenance Platform

State College, PA – We are thrilled to announce the new partnership between Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies, a leader in machine health sensors, and KCF Technologies, renowned for their innovative Comprehensive Machine Health platform. This collaboration marks a significant advancement in the field of predictive maintenance, particularly for industrial equipment operating in challenging environments.

KCF Technologies has long been at the forefront of predictive maintenance hardware and software solutions and, with the new Piezo Sensing condition monitoring hardware, the comprehensive platform continues to grow asset coverage. Piezo Sensing is specifically engineered to perform exceptionally well in high-temperature, wet, and chemically aggressive environments, and on equipment with very low RPMs, such as paper machines used in the paper and pulp industry, stamping press crowns used in automotive, as well as mixers and gearbox applications. By integrating Wilcoxon’s IEPE accelerometers, known for their reliability in extreme conditions, with KCF’s Piezo Sensing, we are bringing a more robust SMARTsensing hardware suite to the industry’s most rugged environments and demanding vibration monitoring applications.

Enhancing Comprehensive Machine Health

Partnering with Wilcoxon further enhances KCF Technologies’ Comprehensive Machine Health platform. This platform is designed to achieve comprehensive predictive maintenance across all types of plant equipment, ensuring operational efficiency and reducing downtime. The synergy between Wilcoxon’s data accuracy and robust accelerometers, and KCF’s high-quality signal processing, enveloping, high-resolution data, and high sampling frequency, offer advanced diagnostic capabilities and insights for both low- and high-speed equipment, as well as critical assets.
