Nearly everything that uses or transmits power gets hot before it fails. Cost effective power management is critical to maintaining the reliability of your electrical and mechanical systems. IVC Technologies’ infrared program shows you thermal problems, quantifies them with precise non-contact temperature measurement, and documents them within a report. Couple Infrared Imaging with route-based vibration analysis to enhance both operations providing a greater level of confidence in all phases of your maintenance and production operations.

Compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities commonly supplied throughout most facilities. If ignored, this distribution system can develop numerous leaks, which will result in an increase of air usage.

Ultrasonic Surveys can be very beneficial to your company by locating expensive air and gas leaks. Ultrasonic sensing equipment allows for the survey to be conducted during normal production when all systems are in use so there is no need to wait until an outage or when equipment is shut down.

Excessive imbalance of rotating equipment adversely affects quality, productivity, wear, operator fatigue, and power consumption. IVC Technologies offers precision balancing of your equipment, in-place and at speed, with minimal impact on production. We will correct the imbalance on your machinery without the need for a costly teardown and removal.

Our analysts are experienced with single and dual plane balancing techniques, using precision, portable equipment. You will receive a detailed report analyzing the vibration signature of your equipment with comprehensive before and after balance results.

You would never buy new tires for your vehicle without also having them balanced and aligned, correct?

If you did/do, the results are very evident: the life span of the tires will be reduced dramatically and the transmitted vibration throughout the vehicle will loosen components and over work key components; shortening the life span of the overall vehicle life.

“A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words”. This is especially true when it comes to understanding some of the complex, dynamic problems that plague operating machinery. Modal Analysis and Operating Deflection Shape (ODS) Analysis help visualize and better understand the root cause and determine the right fix for even the most difficult structural and mechanical problems.

IVC Technologies is excited to provide this cutting-edge technology that 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 of data points in a matter of seconds.

If you need to identify shaft failure modes, understand drive control characteristics, or measure the loading conditions to properly size gears, spindles, and couplings, then Torque Testing is required. IVC Technologies’ ability to measure and analyze the true Torque signature can be of tremendous value. Torque testing can accurately capture what occurs during machine starts, process changes, TAFs (Torque Amplification Factor), and intermittent process-related events.

Remote Monitoring and Analysis of plant machinery is a proven technology that can be used to complement a conventional condition based monitoring program in order to improve reliability, equipment life, and worker safety. IVC Technologies can monitor multiple machines simultaneously and remotely provide diagnostic services. We have successfully implemented Remote Monitoring and PMP programs for the Steel, Paper, Petro-Chemical, and Power industries
