Overview:
Predictive maintenance (PdM) programs are formed to eliminate unnecessary maintenance, improve quality and increase capacity. Most predictive maintenance programs use vibration monitoring as the key component. To be successful, a comprehensive program must include other monitoring and diagnostic techniques. During this three-day course, you will determine which predictive technologies to use and how to apply them in an effective predictive maintenance program.
What You Will Learn:
- Explain the role of a predictive maintenance (PdM) plan in an effective asset management strategy
- Describe the theory, application and safety considerations of five PdM technologies
- Vibration Analysis
- Thermography
- Tribology (oil analysis)
- Ultrasonics
- Motor circuit analysis
- Explain the importance of operator care (visual inspection) as a component of a PdM program
- Discuss the value of process parameters and Operating Dynamics Analysis™
- Map machine dynamics and failure modes
- Review methods to set up and manage an effective PdM program
