Course Overview

Machines deteriorate as they get older so we can expect a certain amount of performance falloff and general deterioration of the machine. If we understand the failure mechanisms that are in place we can identify which parameters best indicate the deterioration of the machine.

Failure analysis, Troubleshooting and Predictive & Planned Maintenance techniques, including vibration analysis, are discussed in the course with a view to cover the different techniques of alignment and optimizing the maintenance engineering effort while maximising production

Course Objective

To provide the operation & maintenance engineers & technicians with the means to properly operate and support the rotating equipment in a way based on the good acquaintance with the modern technologies applied in this field. Trouble-shooting & forecasting break downs are inclusive. & cover the different techniques of alignment as well as the use of hand -held.
