Machinery Failure, Vibration & Predictive Maintenance
Details :
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
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.
- Understanding
of machine failure analysis techniques
- Understanding
of a range of predictive maintenance technologies
- Learning
about the potential contribution of each these technologies to maintenance
efficiency
- Familiarizing
with the guidelines which indicate how these technologies can interact
with and support each other
- Exploring
hints and tips for practical application of these technologies so as to
achieve the best results
- Taking a
practical approach to developing an action plan to utilise these
technologies in their own areas of responsibility, fitting them into the
overall maintenance strategy and measuring benefits
- Supervisors,
team leaders and professionals in maintenance
