When used as a preventative maintenance program, Vibration Analysis in Dallas is the crown jewel ensuring no equipment reaches a state of critical failure. Here are the basic steps that take place in any quality preventative maintenance program.
* A comprehensive database is developed for each machine used in the workplace. The data collected will include installation, engineering, and design information. This data will then be input into software that analyzes the specific working environment for each machine.
* The next step will be to determine the beginning operating condition of the machines entering the program. There is a wide range of non-intrusive techniques that may be used to analyze machines while they are still in service. These methods may include infrared, ultrasonic and, of course, vibration analysis in Dallas.
* The intervals of periodic monitoring will range from one every other month to once every six months. Past experience indicates that waiting any longer than six months to perform a periodic analysis greatly heightens the risk of catastrophic failure for most machines.
* Reports can, and will, be produced by the predictive maintenance software that is used. These reports will include such things as specific maintenance actions which must be performed to ensure the safety and health of the machine being diagnosed. The reports can be directed to all applicable personnel.
* Once the necessary repairs or maintenance has been performed, there will be new baseline readings that will be taken so that fresh data can be generated. This allows the personnel to see exactly in what state the machine is when being put back into use. It also lets the personnel see if the repairs were effective or not.
As one can see, by using vibration analysis along with a comprehensive monitoring program that includes specialized software, there is a great potential for increased workplace safety and machine longevity.
