Machinery Failure, Vibration & Predictive Maintenance

Machines deteriorate as they get older, so we can expect a certain amount of performance falloff and general deterioration of the machine. If we understand the failure mechanisms that are in place, we can identify which parameters best indicate the deterioration of the machine.
 

Failure analysis and Predictive Maintenance techniques, including vibration analysis, are discussed in the training course with a view to optimising the maintenance engineering effort while maximising production. Other techniques that will be addressed include infrared thermography, passive ultrasonics, tribology, and performance monitoring.

• An understanding of Machine Failure Analysis techniques
• An understanding of a range of Predictive Maintenance Technologies
• Knowledge of the potential contribution of each of these technologies to maintenance efficiency
• Guidelines indicating how these technologies can interact with and support each other
• Hints and Tips for the practical application of these technologies so as to achieve the best results
