Vibration
Analysis
Vibration analysis and trending is a method
of evaluating current machine condition and monitoring a machine's changes
over time. It can also be used to pinpoint a source of several problems such
as misalignment, imbalance and bearing issues. Vibration trending and
analysis can be performed on all rotating equipment.
|
|
|
Benefits of Vibration Trending & Analysis
- Diagnose imbalance and misalignment
- Discover bearing issues
- Applicable on any rotating equipment
- Improve equipment reliability and uptime
- Prevent catastrophic failures
- Improve machine safety levels
|
|
|
Applications for Vibration Analysis:
- Motors
- Pumps
- Air Handlers
- Fans
- Machines

Wilonski
Recognized As Vibration Specialist
|
Field Service Technician, Tom Wilonski, has been certified as a Vibration Specialist by the Vibration Institute in
Illinois. Along with his certification, Tom received a letter of recommendation from the
Institute’s President and Director Ph.D.,P.E., Ronald Eshleman.
Tom has now joined an exclusive group of vibration specialists who have
proven their knowledge of and capability to measure and analyze machinery vibrations. Tom
also possesses the skills required to troubleshoot, solve, and/or fix the problem on the
spot when feasible. This certification has been developed to help industries recognize and
obtain qualified employees, contractors, and key team members. It also provides
recognition to those who invest time in developing their skills.

Thermographic
Surveys
|
|
|
Infrared thermography can
provide significant warning of potential problems with critical equipment
before catastrophic failure. With infrared thermography you can identify
overheating electrical connections and other machine components, scheduling
repairs to be made during planned downtime.
Benefits of Infrared
Thermography:
-
Reduce unscheduled
downtime
-
Detect problems quickly
-
Assess priorities for
corrective action
-
Reduce catastrophic
failure of equipment
Applications for Infrared
Thermography:
- Electrical panels
- Wiring distribution centers
- Heat loss, roofs for example
- Mechanical defects
- Current load imbalances
- Hot Wires, fuses, disconnects, and other
electrical devices
|
|
Infrared Thermography:
|
- Diverse Applications:
Anything that has a difference in temperature can be surveyed by Infrared
Thermography.
- Electrical Hot Spots: Electrical
trouble spots provide the ideal application for infrared
thermography.
- Simplicity and Efficiency:
The
simplicity of applying the infra-red equipment to electrical apparatus allows a large
number of potential trouble points to be checked in a relatively short period of time.
The IR Report: In generating a report, Schulz can analyze and present
the most accurate temperature of hot spots as compared to the temperature of the
surrounding area that is being looked at, and the ambient temperature for the that type of
material.
Field Service Technician Don Geissler has been with Schulz Electric Company for
over 13 years
and is a certified thermographer. Don is efficient in all facets of troubleshooting
electrical and electronic problems. Don utilizes the IR Snap Shot by Infrared Solutions
which is a computer based imaging radiometer.

EXAMPLE
of IR BENEFITS:
Gone
Undetected, 500,000 Residents Could Have Lost Power.
An
Infrared Thermography Survey Prevented The Failure.
Hold Your Mouse over the
photograph below to see the HOT SPOT Schulz Technician Mark Hotkowski
discovered while conducting an IR survey. Mark reported the finding
and repairs were immediately made. Had the IR survey not been
conducted, hundreds of thousands of CT residents could have lost
power.
|
|
|
|
The IR survey performed
was able to show a significant potential problem in the disconnect jaw
pictured above. Infrared Thermography is also perfect for smaller
scaled projects such as heat loss, loose electrical connections, and
water leaks.
