SpectraQuest has developed a unique, real-world training course in vibration analysis entitled the SpectraQuest Turnkey Vibration Training System. The manuals are a critical component of this package. The text that accompanies the program is divided into two volumes:
Volume I starts with a brief overview of Preventive/Predictive Maintenance and continues with the general theory of vibration, transducers, digital signal processing, data analysis techniques, and machinery fault diagnosis. Included are basic formulas and tables required for fault frequency detection.
Volume II starts with the philosophy of machinery troubleshooting, transducer calibration and mounting, data collection, analysis, and reporting, and provides step by step procedures for baseline vibration signatures and specific machinery faults. The exercises reinforce the "book learning" and encourage the student to really think about the process in a disciplined manner. It also provides organized laboratory exercises that coach in the design of the experiment, require mechanically configuring the Machinery Fault Simulator™, instrumenting it, setting up the data acquisition parameters, collecting the data, and analyzing the results.
The instructional process adheres to a natural pattern with the theory and practical advice being presented first, followed by hands-on exercises to reinforce and demonstrate the concepts. Key points are as follows:
Information gathering techniques including sensors, data collection, signal processing and common errors.
Experimental design or how to approach setting up a comprehensive test protocol.
Tricks of the trade to achieve the objectives in an expeditious manner.
Baseline signature compared with signatures from defective components.
Suggested optional reading material and laboratory exercises for further studies in machinery vibration analysis.
This manual is the only one of its kind and is a component of the SpectraQuest Turnkey Vibration Training System
