Intermediate Machinery Vibration Analysis Workshop
COURSE OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this course is for the student to develop a better understanding of vibration theory, data collection, signal processing, and analysis so that a greater comfort level will be achieved in performing fault analysis.
PREREQUISITES:
- Completed vibration level I instruction with 1-2 years experience.
- Single channel and route based data collection.
- Mechanical aptitude and familiarity with machinery.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is different from typical seminar-based vibration training programs in that it addresses the fundamentals of machinery behavior and provides a strong understanding of basic principles. It will start with statics/kinematics/dynamics, sensors, data acquisition, and continue with the basics of vibration, resonance testing and signal processing to capture and isolate appropriate defects/disturbances. SpectraQuest's Machinery Fault Simulator (MFS) will be used to provide typical faults and generate characteristic signatures (i.e., waveform and spectral displays), multi-channel, phase, and linear versus non-linear issues. Students perform actual diagnostic experiments and participate in data analysis and group discussions.
Emphasis is placed on a truly "hands-on" approach, supported by lectures as well as demonstrations of basic concepts in vibration analysis. It is performed in a classroom setting with workstations arranged for conducting controlled exercises. Each workstation consists of a MFS with a variety of fault kits, an 8-channel data acquisition system with a PC, software for simulating signal processing concepts, training and data analysis software, fully wired sensors, and necessary accessories such as tachometer, strobe, etc. All PCs are networked for an open exchange of data and enhanced discussion. Each student is required to perform mechanical adjustments to the MFS as necessary to convince him or herself of what vibration characteristics to expect under given circumstances.
COURSE BENEFITS:
- A logical explanation of dynamic machine behavior.
- The theory and demonstration of basic vibration analysis.
- Fundamentals of signal processing, transducers, and data collectors.
- Multi-channel analysis.
- The hows and whys of machinery fault diagnosis.
- Student will be more comfortable in performing fault analysis.
