Vibration / Condition monitoring
... is a money saver and in many cases a necessary safety precaution. The aim is to detect operating
faults before they become a problem. This has become more important in the today’s environment, as the pace
of production increases and more equipment operates unmanned.
By measuring the vibration levels at specific points on the machine we can diagnose specific operational
mechanical faults before they cause a problem, which would lead to machine breakdown and the costly loss of
production due to the unnecessary downtime incurred.
The signals used to diagnose machine condition are shocks and vibrations; these levels are measured using
the latest technology from SPM Instruments, world leaders in the development and manufacture of vibration
monitoring devices and software for analysing the data into True Condition Information.
Bearing Condition is analysed using the SPM shock pulse method a monitoring technique specialising on rolling
element bearings, presenting accurate information on the mechanical state of the bearing surfaces and of the
lubrication condition, throughout the bearings lifetime.
