Predictive Maintenance

This is an on-going program... Periodic monitoring over time provides data that makes any deviation from baseline noticeable. This allows you to spot trends through consistent measurement.

What does Predictive Maintenance do for you?

The primary objective of a predictive maintenance program is to improve machinery reliability by identifying problems before they cause failures.

The secondary objective is to provide advance warning of developing problems before these machines fail catastrophically during a production run.

It helps your machinery operate better and more efficiently by:

1. Spotting a problem before it shuts you down
2. Preventing secondary damage or employee injury
3. Improving product quality
4. Reducing unnecessary maintenance
5. Reducing downtime

Consistent Monitoring multiplies savings...

See machine condition more accurately with consistent monitoring. Historical comparison using identical settings and equipment instantly reveals changes or patterns not visible in individual measurements.

Monitored machines operate more efficiently and dependably, when repairs are made as needed. Periodic Monitoring prevents unnecessary downtime, overtime and loss. See overall health and machine groups:

• Trends and Patterns
  Instantly spot rising vibration trends. Reveal patterns in similar or nearby machines. Speed up diagnosis with valuable machine history.

• Verify accuracy
  Verify accuracy of installation or modifications before the warranty expires. Verify lowered vibration levels after repair or replacement, or identify additional existing faults.

• Attention to Detail
  During data collection, observe conditions affecting machine performance missed in busy day-to-day operations, such as missing, loose or broken parts, cracks, leaks, wear, excessive heat, etc.
