This course provides an overview of all significant aspects and considerations of machinery diagnostics and system 1 fundamentals. The course shall help participants to understand how fundamentals of machine design and behaviour are reflected in vibration measurements, reduce machine vibration data into usable plots and explain which plots are best to use in different stages of machine diagnostics; and the causes, effects and indicators of typical malfunction including recognition of problems such as unbalance, misalignment, rubs, shaft cracks and fluid induced instabilities.
During this interactive course, participants will learn how to use system 1 software tools and plots to apply in practice, knowledge gained through machinery diagnostics session and how to get the most out of system 1 software in terms of machinery condition monitoring and diagnostics; and optimize system 1 in terms of software alarms, clearance boundaries, baseline data, compensation, information data storage and backups along with periodic administrative tasks.
