Who said being a vibration analyst was easy?
There sure is a lot to know.
iLearnVibration can
give you the (refresher) training and help you practice your new skills. But at the end of
the day, you are in the hot seat - it is up to you to view a spectrum, find
the patterns, and interpret what they mean. Your job depends on it...
iLearnVibration [Interpreter] can help. It reads
the spectrum directly from the computer screen (it supports RBMWare,
Odyssey, Machine Analyst, ASCENT, ExpertALERT, OMNITREND, and other
packages), it reveals the hidden patterns, and
offers diagnostic suggestions (with detailed explanations, including
animations and sample spectra).
NOTE:
Click here if
you have a slow Internet connection.
You don't have to use
it on every spectrum; just the spectra that are tough to analyze, or where you
think a fault condition may exist (but you can't solve it).
Using Interpreter is
easy:
View the spectrum
in your analysis software as usual.
Drag the
Interpreter "helping-hand" icon from the system tray to the graph.
Markers will
appear to indicate where harmonic or sideband patterns have been found.
One or more
suggestions for each pattern is given (misalignment, looseness, etc.)
An explanation is
provided for each suggestion.
If you own the
iLearnVibration training, it can be opened at the topic that describes
that fault condition.
You can go a lot further with Interpreter.
You can build machine models, recall bearings from a database (to check
frequencies), overlay forcing frequency labels, and more. Interpreter
is very powerful, but you can keep it very simple too.
