Professional Certificate of Competency in Vibration Analysis, Balancing, Alignment, Predictive and Precision Maintenance Engineering Institute of Technology

Overview

This Professional Certificate of Competency in Vibration Analysis, Balancing, Alignment, Predictive and Precision Maintenance from the Engineering Institute of Technology  

provides a detailed examination of the detection, location and diagnosis of faults in rotating and reciprocating machinery using vibration analysis. The basics and underlying physics of vibration signals are first examined. The acquisition and processing of signals is reviewed followed by a discussion of machinery fault diagnosis using vibration analysis, and rectifying the unidentified faults.

The important topic of balancing is then discussed drawing on practical examples. Alignment and other machinery faults are then covered. Other often neglected areas of particle and chemical analysis, temperature monitoring and failure analysis are covered in practical detail. The course is concluded with a set of practical rules for a precision maintenance programme including issues such as machines to monitor, managing the data usefully and scheduling maintenance.
