Power Generation Resilience Depends on On-site Oil Analysis to Ensure Availability
As we emerge from the global pandemic, power generation facilities face incredible challenges to maintain reliable power for their customers. Double digit increases in short supply specialty lubricants, rising costs, long lead times on parts and labor shortages mean downtime is more costly and unpredictable than ever. Facilities without CBM programs, and specifically on-site oil analysis capabilities, limit their options to detect and avoid operation downtime.

Approaching Machines That Are New to You for Condition Based Maintenance
Whether you are an experienced vibration analyst or a novice, approaching machines that are new to you can present challenges. This presentation describes a sequential method that may be helpful in getting started in this process. Sometimes it’s nice to have defined steps to follow in order to get the data you need about the machine and it’s operation. By doing so, you will have a better chance of getting useful data that can lead to quicker and more refined diagnostics in the future.

Vibration, It’s Just Physics
In the presentation, we will go back to the basics and discuss the physics of vibration at a basic level. For example, the harmonic oscillator is one of the simplest concepts to understand yet governs most of vibration. At the same time, it is also the example that most physical concepts are applied to first from simple F=ma to complex electrodynamics problems. This presentation will be at the beginner’s level. No physics background needed. We will discuss where some of the basic tenets of vibration originate from and explore vibration from a whole new angle. If you are interested in vibration and want to see it in a new light this is for you.

Continuous Monitoring of Lubricated Assets: What Does It Really Tell Me?
While Industry 4.0 has brought real-time monitoring of assets to the forefront, what are we learning? In this webinar we’ll explore several case studies of continuously monitored assets. We’ll also look at case studies from vibration and ultrasound that show conditions that were undetected with route-based monitoring.

Ultrasound – A New Option for Permanent Monitoring
For 30 years, we have been producing customized ultrasonic transducers and sensors at our headquarters in Halle (Saale) / Germany with an output of currently 50.000 ultrasonic probes per year. We supply our customers with tailor-made and application specific solutions for a variety of industries and testing applications. Advancements in IIOT technology opened up the potential to include high-frequency ultrasound sensors into new and existing permanent mounted condition monitoring solutions.
