Vibration
Most ubiquitous of all the techniques, everybody has heard or knows of Vibration monitoring
Most people start with Vibration for a reason, or quite a few reasons actually.
Vibration as a predictive tool has been around the longest of all the disciplines I focus on at UPTIME Consultant.
Because of this history it has built up quite a following, it has recognised standards (quite a few) and the choice of equipment is sometimes bewildering.
I can advise on the latest hand held or permanent solutions if required.
Many Vibration experts could quite easily add another new vibration instrument to their toolbox each year and I'm sure they would still keep on coming!
Learning what an asset actually does, how it behaves and then knowing if Vibration is applicable is half the battle.
Knowing what to look for in that equipment is also important, vibration is great with unbalance, mis-alignment and looseness, but like all the previously mentioned monitoring techniques you get the best results through training, practice and experience.
