Vibration Analyst
This course provides the ISO 18436-2 Category III coursework towards certification.
Students will explore the condition monitoring technologies and discover how a well-designed program and a reliability centered maintenance approach improve the bottom line. The course will cover the analysis of vibration spectra, time wave forms, envelope and phase measurements. Students will diagnose a wide range of fault conditions and learn how to balance and align a machine, correct resonance conditions, and employ isolation.
Engineers who are confident in spectrum but willing to learn about signal processing, time waveform and phase analysis
