Basic Machinery Vibration and Condition Based / Predictive / Pro-Active Maintenance Training

This two day Basic Machinery Vibration and Predictive / Pro-Active Maintenance course is designed to train the attendees in the basics of : the four different maintenance work processes, basic vibration technology, root cause failure analysis, and effective problem correction methods. The topics covered in the class are:

- comparison of different maintenance philosophies

- Run to Failure Maintenance

- Preventive Maintenance

- Predictive / Condition Based Maintenance

- Pro-Active / Prevention Maintenance

- major contributing factors of vibration

- how vibration data is presented

- time, frequency, and modal domain data

- relating vibration data to the type of machinery in your plant

- vibration transducers ... what are they and how do they work?

- a review of the different types of vibration analysis hardware

- how to take vibration measurements

- how to categorize the level of vibration (How bad is it?)

- vibration severity guidelines

- machine sweep tests, operating deflection shapes, modal analysis basics

- how to fix problems once you've found them

- keeping vibration and maintenance records

- financially justifying your vibration program

- review dozens of case histories

It is an excellent course for managers, engineers, technicians, and trades people to give them the minimum working knowledge to begin detecting and correcting vibration related problems in their machinery to increase the operating lifespan of their equipment.
