美国Metrix Instrument
美国Metrix仪器公司成立于1965年，是市场上第一家生产4-20mA振动变送器的公司，这种变送器可大大简化振动监测的过程和降低监测成本。Metrix生产成套系列与设备振动值有关的产品，用以测量，监测并提供同人工保护相同的对潜在机械故障的早期报警。系列产品主要包括：振动监控器、温度监控器、频率监控器、系统继电控制器、速度传感器、接近变送器、信号处理器、振动开关、加速度传感器、电缆、软件、附件等，可用于涡轮机写、冷却塔、压缩机、泵、齿轮箱等。公司的客户主要为化学工业、电力、石油、气体处理、造纸和冶金行业。

四十多年来， Metrix为全球客户提供用于测量和监测振动的一整套仪表设备，并对潜在机械故障提供预警。我们的产品范围广泛，涵盖机器状态监测系统、接近探头、电缆和驱动器、传感器、地震传感器和传送机、加速计、开关、信号调节器、监视器和便携式仪表和振动器。我们的许多产品经受了各种危险领域的考验，获得了批准和认证。自1992年以来， 本公司已通过ISO 9001:2000认证。

使用Metrix的仪表保护您的机器就意味着减少机器的停机时间、增加机器的可靠性，避免昂贵的机器更换和维修，同时保障用户安全。我们的仪表为气体和蒸汽涡轮机、电动机、往复式压气机、风扇、风机、水泵、发电机、齿轮箱、造纸机和冷却水塔提供保护。本公司为全球各行业提供服务和支持，包括化工、发电、石油和天然气、水和废水、金属和矿产品、管道、纸浆和纸张以及食品加工。

本公司系首家提供4-20 mA振动传送机进行地震和接近监测的公司。这大大简化并降低了监测过程的成本。我们不断集中于客户导向的研究和发展，我们因创新和技术上的/应用上的专门知识而闻名遐尔。

Metrix对进步和产品可靠性的承诺不断为公司带来更多的第一。我们的IT6810产品可检测出往复机器中以及可编程的、基于微处理器的接近探头传送机（Trendsetter™ TXR/TXA）和PRO系列电子开关中的机械松动故障。

在Roper Industries（纽约证券交易所代码为ROP）于1995年收购本公司后，我们开始扩展我们在全球的销售和服务办事处。1998年， Roper收购了PMC/BETA并将其与Metrix合并，进一步扩大和强化了产品线。目前，我们的业务遍及40多个国家，我们已是Roper的有限合伙人，成为一家在工程产品、分析仪器、工业控制和流体处理方面拥有21亿美元收入的多元化供应商。

Metrix serves customers worldwide with a complete line of instrumentation to measure and monitor vibration and provide early warning of potential machinery failure. These products include machine condition monitoring systems, proximity systems, transducers, seismic sensors, switches, transmitters, signal conditioners, monitors and portable meters.

History

Metrix Instrument Co. was founded in 1965 in Houston, Texas. It was the first company to offer 4-20 mA vibration transmitters for seismic and proximity monitoring. This greatly simplified the process of vibration monitoring and reduced its cost. The company is focused on customer-driven research and development.

Metrix’s commitment to innovation and product reliability continues to produce more firsts. Recent advancements include a loop-powered impact transmitter to detect mechanical looseness in reciprocating machines and a programmable, microprocessor-based proximity probe transmitter. Since 1992, Metrix has been ISO 9001 certified.

Roper Industries (NYSE=ROP) acquired Metrix in 1995, and the company began to expand its global presence by adding three regional sales and service offices. In 1998, Roper acquired PMC/BETA and combined it with Metrix, further increasing and strengthening the product line. Today, Metrix operates in over 40 countries and is a Limited Partnership of Roper, a $2.1 billion diversified provider of engineered products in analytical instrumentation, industrial controls and fluid handling.

Industries Served

Customers around the world depend upon Metrix products to monitor vibration on gas and steam turbines, motors, compressors, pumps, generators, gear boxes, paper machines and cooling towers. The company serves and supports global industries including chemical, power generation, oil and gas, water and wastewater, metals and minerals, pulp and paper, and food processing.
