Condition Based Maintenance
This course will introduce the various concepts of Condition Based Maintenance. Training available on-site only.
Course overview
Course code: CBM
This course will introduce the various concepts of Condition Based Maintenance. Students will be able to understand and operate the various tools used in identifying machinery health problems and describe the machine condition to provide measurable improvements in performance. The course will particularly emphasize the use of machinery vibration as a tool to determine machine health and identify root cause problem.
Course benefits
- Small class sizes
- Wide range of equipment provided
- Experienced instructors
- Comprehensive course notes
- World-wide recognised certification
What will you learn?
- How changes in the health or condition of a machine often produce changes in the machine's vibration
- Determining the condition of machinery as it operates, to schedule the most efficient and effective repair of problem components prior to failure
- The ideal condition based model – detection, overall analysis, correction, verification – and condition based parameters such as vibration, temperature, thermography and ultrasonics
- The concept of vibration and how it applies to bearing vibration analysis in the detection of bearing defects and faults
- A brief introduction to spectrum analysis, and how analysts recognise and analyse typical machinery problems
- Setting up overall vibration measurement and other parameter results on trend charts, types of condition monitoring alarms, and vibration signal processing methods
