Vibration monitoring and machine protection systems measure the vibration of turbines, compressors, pumps and fans to trip machines before damage occurs and to support predictive maintenance. The range supplied through istec covers accelerometers, DIN-rail transmitters, distributed and rack-based protection systems (VibroSmart, VM600) and condition monitoring software (VibroSight, VibSys). Akan Industrial and Automation supplies these products in Türkiye and integrates them into plant control systems.
