Aimed at anyone interested in learning the basics of these predictive techniques.

The objective of this course is to train the attendees so that they can begin to diagnose the most typical problems of rotating machinery through vibratory analysis, as well as to perform a thermographic inspection correctly.

• Introduction. Maintenance strategies and predictive techniques.
• Fundamentals of vibration. Trends, spectra, waveforms and phase.
• Fault diagnosis: unbalance, misalignment, clearances, faults in belts, bearings, gears, resonance, etc.
• Fundamental concepts of thermography
• Fundamental concepts of thermography. Electromagnetic radiation. Heat transfer. Energy of the thermographic image. Transmissivity. Radiometry. Infrared imaging systems. Windows and filters. Limitations of the technique.
• Practical: Case resolution, configuration and fault frequency detection.
• Thermographic analysis techniques.
• Thermographic inspection report generation. What to measure, how to measure and when to measure. Interpretation of thermographic images and fault diagnosis. Uses of diagnostic tools.
• Practical considerations for proper thermographic inspection
