Description
Predictive Maintenance: Vibration analysis. Vibration analysis allows the technicians or other specially training personnel to perform condition monitoring of equipment. Condition monitoring is used at first as a coarse comb to pull out those problems that will imminently cause downtime. The program can then progress beyond condition monitoring to provide scheduling services for preventive maintenance and identification of redesigns that address repetitive faults. This study unit will show you the basics of vibration analysis as performed with a data collector and a computer software program. Predictive Maintenance: Advanced Topics. Vibration analysis alone cannot perform condition monitoring to meet the needs of today's industry. Vibration analysis cannot easily find electrical faults, air leaks, electrical discharges, metal particles or contamination and breakdown of lubricants, or perform other important detection duties. Other technologies are needed for these tasks. This study unit will introduce you to these other technologies. In this study unit, we will investigate different technologies that can and should often be part of a good predictive maintenance program. We will discuss these technologies at a basic level.
