Machinery Failure, Vibration Analysis and Predictive Maintenance Course
Introduction:
We should anticipate a certain level of performance falloff and general machine depreciation as machines age. We can determine which metrics most accurately reflect the machine's degradation if we comprehend the existing failure mechanisms. The attendees of this extensive course will gain an understanding of fault analysis, monitoring approaches, and reliability fundamentals by employing contemporary methods and technologies. In order to maximize production while optimizing the maintenance engineering effort, the course covers failure analysis and predictive maintenance approaches, including vibration analysis. The use of infrared thermographs, passive ultrasonography, teratology, and performance monitoring are additional procedures that will be covered.
Course Objectives:
At the end of this seminar participants will have:
- An understanding of Machine Failure Analysis techniques.
- An understanding of why machines fail and how to identify the “bad actors”
- An understanding of a range of Predictive Maintenance Technologies
- Knowledge of the potential contribution of each these technologies to maintenance efficiency
- Guidelines indicating how these technologies can interact with and support each other
- Hints and Tips for practical application of these technologies so as to achieve the best results
- 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
Who Should Attend?
This seminar is directed towards Supervisors, Team Leaders and Managers in Maintenance, Engineering and Production. The course will also benefit anyone who wishes to update themselves on Predictive Maintenance Technologies and Failure Analysis techniques, as well as those who have to judge the suitability of these technologies for their needs and learn how to implement them for the benefit of their organizations.
