Predictive Maintenance (PdM) and Condition Monitoring

Since its establishment in 1974, the Analytical Group has been involved in the start-up of a number of successful vibration programs including setup, implementation, data collection, and analysis of numerous types of machines for vibration predictive maintenance programs.

Setup of Database for Baseline Vibration Collection

• Partial or Plant-Wide PdM Database Setup
• All Data and Computer Setup Information is Transferable to Plant Personnel and Computer Resources
• Setup of Data Collection Points Using Software Per Plant’s Specifications
• Determination of Alarms (Overall, Spectral, and Narrowband) per Technical Associates Proven Methods for Specifying Alarms

Baseline and Monthly Reliability Surveys

• Data Collection at Each Bearing in Axial, Horizontal and Vertical Directions
• Analysis of Collected Data and Rank-Ordered Recommendations for Detected Problems
• Complete Report Including Summary of Each Machine’s Overall Condition, Rank-Ordered Recommendations, Alarm Reports, Latest Measurement Report for All Bearings, and Machinery Data Guide Sheets to Document Machine Components Such as RPM, Bearings, Gear Tooth Counts, Blade Counts, etc.
