The purpose of this program is to assist maintenance engineers and technicians who are new to vibration measurement and analysis and would like to learn about condition monitoring and predictive machinery maintenance technology. Broadly speaking, the subject is the principles of vibration theory and analysis as they apply to the determination of machine operating characteristics and deficiencies and to the detection of faults.

Advanced Level This course is intended for people who have completed Basic Level Vibration analysis course and have at least 6 months of field experience in machinery vibration analysis. The course will enrich the knowledge of vibration analysts and it is expected that they will learn how to test machines and diagnose the faults correctly and accurately, how to set vibration limits, understanding analysis techniques in-depth and how vibration patterns are changing. The course is supported by educational movies and comprehensive experimental measurements using Machinery Fault Simulator and portable vibration analyzers.

This training program is intended for engineers and technicians who have completed basic or advanced vibration analysis course or have at least 12 month of experience in the field of dynamic balancing and shaft alignment. We would hope that trainees will gain the following benefits from this program: • Understand the causes of unbalance and misalignment. • Understand the effect of unbalance and shaft misalignment on the performance and life of the machine. • Understand how vibration is generated due to unbalance and shaft misalignment. • How to perform dynamic balancing and what are the machines and tools used • How to perform shaft alignment and what tools are required. • How to apply standards and acceptable limits for balancing and shaft alignment • How to process vibration signal and extract unbalance signal. • What are the differences between soft-bearing and hard-bearing balancing machines. • What is field balancing and how to apply it successfully.
