Applications

It is generally believed that in the course of analyzing an excessive vibration problem either detected through a regular PM program or simply perceived by plant personnel, several logical steps will be followed...

1. Establishing proper documentation from day one and properly defining monitoring parameters Several authorities offer valuable opinions on these topics.
2. ID of trends (if available) and spectra comparison
   Analog Overall trends (as opposed to Digital or spectrum energy contents calculated overalls) are of primary importance in predicting machine behavior. Properly defined spectra with significant resolution, as well as DEDICATION to deciphering the collected spectra, is the next crucial step.
3. Phase Analysis
   If and when various anomalies are detected, this step may confirm suspected defects. It is otherwise not a scheduled periodic step unless the machine is crucial and unreplaceable.
4. Data Processing & Correlated Analysis
   Number, picture and reference crunching.
5. If the diagnosed or suspected behavior falls under the documented list of 1x and/or 2x problems (such as balance, misalignment be it angular or parallel, bent shaft, etc) which appear infinitely more subtle to split into proper categories (as in “assign the resposibility to the proper culprit”), or if base, foundation or structural problems are suspected, you probably need to resort to ODS.

FINE TUNE is made to make your lives easier, particularly in cases where toying with phase relationships proves too tedious, or where no clear certainty is extant as to where or what to collect after the initial collection and analytical steps are concluded.
