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
  • Engineering and Production
  • Anyone who wishes to update themselves on predictive maintenance technologies and failure analysis techniques
  • Those who have to assess the suitability of these technologies for their needs
