Advanced Diagnostics
Advanced Diagnostics is our expert-driven solution for uncovering the root causes of machinery failures and performance issues, using specialized testing and multichannel data analysis to deliver lasting reliability improvements.
Unlock Maximum Uptime with Advanced Diagnostics
Advanced Diagnostics is a comprehensive approach used by our Reliability Engineering Team to resolve machinery runnability issues and premature failures. Our experts can diagnose and design the solutions to enhance machine availability. The team consists of engineers and technicians with certifications from the Canadian Machinery Vibration Association and the Vibration Institute.
We address requests such as ongoing asset issues where basic vibration analysis has fallen short or increasing a machine's operating speed for higher throughput. Our team performs multichannel data collection, including vibration, pressure, temperature, and operating data simultaneously, enabling complex system modeling and a holistic view of the issue to ensure the root cause is addressed.
These tests and others are used in conjunction with advanced analysis techniques and software.
- Modal Analysis – Impact testing can be used in conjunction with machine speed trials to determine areas of resonance. Analysis of this data can also provide insight into methods to either stiffen or dampen the system to reduce vibration amplitudes.
- Operating Deflection Shape Analysis – Data acquired during normal operation can be applied to a computer model to provide a visual representation of how a machine is vibrating.
- Finite Element Analysis and Structural Designs – Our rotating and structural engineering teams work together to design bracing or mass to systems to shift natural frequencies.
