Preventive and corrective maintenance task types are used in industry. These task types form part of an organisational maintenance strategy namely run to failure, time based maintenance, use based maintenance and condition based maintenance. There are many ways of performing condition based maintenance with vibration monitoring being one of them. Once a company’s critical assets have been defined, vibration monitoring is used with the intention to prognose problems, diagnose failures and to protect the machine before a catastrophic failure occurs. When diagnosing problems using vibration techniques the real information lies in frequency domain where problem ‘signatures’ reveal themselves to the trained eye. This information is what experts rely on when protecting companies’ critical assets.
We would like to thank PJ for an excellent presentation on Condition Monitoring and for showing us how vibration methods can be used in practice.
All the Secunda SAIMC presentations will earn CPD points for ECSA registered persons and any enquiries can be directed to the branch chairman Johan Maritz, at [email protected] or cell 082 856 3865.
