As any analyst can attest, vibration analysis isn’t a cut and dry, cookie-cutter process for a myriad of reasons, such as the fact that: Machines typically have more than one vibration-inducing fault Many fault types have similar frequency patterns Some vibration measured is the result/effect of other problems in the machine Sometimes, a deeper dive is required to get to the root cause of machine vibration issues. One of the most powerful, but too often neglected diagnostic tools available to…

How Well Do You Really Understand the P-F Curve?
Machine maintenance would be a whole lot easier and a lot less costly if failure modes were all age-related. Unfortunately, most are not. However, the good news is that most failure modes do give off warning signals that they are in the process of occurring or are about to occur. If evidence is found that a machine is in the early stages of failure, it may be possible to take action to prevent a more costly and potentially catastrophic event.…
The Value in Combining Vibration and Oil Analysis
In the early days of condition monitoring (CM), vibration analysis and oil analysis were perceived as rival technologies, competing with one another for the same condition monitoring resources. Thankfully, time has brought about a paradigm shift in condition monitoring, with companies realizing the value in integrating complementary and effective technologies to better manage the health of specific machine types. In this case, oil analysis is a very complementary technology to vibration analysis which is typically the foundation for most CM…
Motion Amplification: A Powerful Addition to the CM Tool Box
At IVC Technologies, our analysts are some of the top minds in the condition monitoring (CM) industry. Yet, as smart and knowledgeable as they are, they’ll be the first ones to tell you that an analyst is only as good as the tools available to them. Certain machine conditions can be difficult and time-consuming to pinpoint using traditional CM technologies such as vibration analysis, phase analysis, and operating deflection shape (ODS) testing. However, by incorporating motion amplification into the mix,…
Remembering the Real Reason We Celebrate Memorial Day
Memorial Day is on Monday, May 27th this year. As you plan your “kick-off to summer” celebrations that will undoubtedly include backyard cookouts, swimming pools, and blockbuster movie premieres, be sure to include a moment to honor the people who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our great country and for whom this holiday was created: our fallen veterans. Memorial Day – then and now Memorial Day was started three years after the Civil War ended, as a way…

The Win-Win Situation Created When You Hire a Military Veteran
As the manufacturing industry continues to face a very real and serious shortage of skilled workers, more and more companies are recognizing the value that an employee with military experience brings to the table. It’s a win-win situation: Veterans entering civilian life need careers and manufacturers need high-quality employees Recognizing that the industrial world continues to move swiftly toward computerization and automation, some of the country’s largest manufacturers are utilizing national training programs and hiring initiatives to prepare veterans to…
Motion Amplification: Seeing is Believing
Imagine if you could visualize faults in machinery. Now you can! Motion amplification allows a vibration analyst to see minute amounts of machine movement that would ordinarily be invisible to the naked eye. Using Iris M, a revolutionary video-processing and software package developed by RDI Technologies, our analysts use a high speed, high definition camera to collect video data. The software and processing algorithms detect subtle motion and amplify it, essentially converting every pixel into an independent sensor, creating millions…
