Diagnostics and Troubleshooting

More important than fixing a machine by changing a bearing or welding a support is identifying the root cause of the problem. Although, some causes are easily identified, many other root causes need a special attention and procedure to be identified. Otherwise, the problem will keep repeating itself with more and more losses. IMT provides machinery malfunction and root cause finding services to  a wide range of industries that involve rotating and reciprocating machineries. IMT provides such services having in mind the following aspects:

ü       Understanding the basis of machinery design and operation principles.

ü       Extensive vibration measurements using proximity probes, velocity pickups and accelerators.

ü       Data acquisition system that enables 8–16 sensors simultaneous measurement and recording of machine vibration.

ü     Trending and analysis supported by mathematical tools and models.

ü       Noise and temperature analysis.

ü       Machinery working materials analysis and monitoring.

ü       Oil analysis.

ü       Thermographic analysis.

ü       Electrical power measurements and analysis.

             Diagnostics and troubleshooting service usually end by recommending solutions that involve in many occasions more than one option based on cost analysis.
