Acceptance testing and ISO standards

You will come away from this course with a solid understanding of:

• Well designed program and the reliability centered maintenance approach (with precision balancing, alignment, lubrication and resonance control) will improve the OEE and therefore the bottom line
• Condition Monitoring Technologies: acoustic emission, infrared thermography, oil analysis, wear debris analysis, electric motor testing
• How machines work – via supplementary self-study using the ”Equipment Knowledge” section
• Select the correct measurement location and axis, and collect good, repeatable measurements
• What the Fmax, resolution, averaging and other analyser setting mean, and how to select the optimum settings for a wide variety of machine types
• Analyse vibration spectra, time waveforms, envelope and phase measurements
• Diagnose a range of fault conditions: unbalance, eccentricity, misalignment, bent shaft, cocked bearings, looseness, rolling element bearings faults, journal bearing faults, gearbox faults, resonance, and other conditions
• How to set alarm limits manually and with statistics
• How to balance and align a machine, and correct a resonance condition
