INTRODUCTION:
We can anticipate some performance decline and general machine depreciation as machines decay as they age. We can determine which parameters most accurately represent the machine’s deterioration if we understand the failure mechanisms that are in existence.
In order to optimize the maintenance engineering effort while maximizing production, failure analysis and Predictive Maintenance techniques, including vibration analysis, are covered in the training course. Additional methods that will be covered include passive ultrasonics, tribology, infrared thermography, and performance monitoring.
OBJECTIVES
At the end of this  training seminar participants will have:
- An understanding of Machine Failure Analysis techniques
- An understanding of a range of Predictive Maintenance Technologies
- Knowledge of the potential contribution of each these technologies to maintenance efficiency
- Guidelines indicating how these technologies can interact with and support each other
- Hints and Tips for practical application of these technologies so as to achieve the best results
A practical approach to developing an action plan to utilise these technologies in their own areas of responsibility, fitting them into the overall maintenance strategy, and measuring benefits.
ORGANISATIONAL BENEFITS
Analysis of machine failures and predictive maintenance of rotating plant is vital to the budgetary success of the operations organisation. On completion of this Machinery Failure, Vibration & Predictive Maintenance training seminar, the delegate will be able to critically analyse the methodologies employed within the organisation and instigate improvements where required.
PERSONAL BENEFITS
Technical knowledge is key to effective control and peer respect within any maintenance organisation; when this is achieved personal satisfaction follows. This Machinery Failure, Vibration & Predictive Maintenance training seminar will give the delegate the required level of technical knowledge and skill to achieve that personal satisfaction.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
- Supervisors
- Team Leader
- Professionals in Maintenance, Engineering and Production
This Machinery Failure, Vibration & Predictive Maintenance training seminar will also benefit anyone who wishes to update themselves on Predictive Maintenance Technologies and Failure Analysis techniques, as well as those who have to judge the suitability of these technologies for their needs, and learn how to implement them for the benefit of their organizations.
