Trainers: Preditec Category IV Analysts (ISO 18436-2)

Description

With a duration of 38 hours, this Mobius Institute certified course (ISO/IEC 17024 accredited) provides training in:

  • Advanced techniques: Envelope, demodulation, PeakVue and phase analysis.
  • Accurate diagnostics: Detection of faults in bearings, electric motors, pumps and gears.
  • Practical tests: Rotor balancing, shaft alignment and resonance correction.

Objectives

The Category II course is suitable for rotating machinery vibration analysts who wish to fix their knowledge and get started in the exciting world of vibration diagnosis of critical machinery.

The orientation of the course is fully accessible, practical and based on machinery diagnostics typical of industrial machinery. After this course, the analyst will have mastered the technique to start performing his own machinery diagnostics.

Syllabus

  • Review of fault diagnosis by vibration analysis.
  • Symptom identification and troubleshooting of machine components.
  • Advanced vibration analysis techniques: envelope, demodulation, PeakVue, Spike Energy and phase analysis.
  • Configuration guides and interpretation of results.
  • Methodology for the analysis and interpretation of vibration diagnosis.
  • Advanced analysis of machinery and components such as shafts, bearings, gears, fans, pumps and motors from different vibration analysis techniques.
  • Diagnostic tables and alarm level configuration.
  • Identification, diagnosis and correction of structural problems.
  • Methods for the determination of natural frequencies and resonances.
  • Identification and diagnosis of electrical faults.
  • Corrective actions: Rotor balancing – Basic concepts and practical implementation. Shaft alignment – Basic concepts and practical implementation.
  • Acceptance tests.
  • Classification, interpretation and evaluation of results according to applicable standards.
  • Resolution of advanced historical cases.
