Infrared thermography Inspection Services

s1Normally, our vision is limited to a very small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Thermal energy has a much s2longer wavelength than visible light. So long, in fact, that the human eye can't even see it, just like we can't see radio waves.

An infrared camera is a non-contact device thatdetects infrared energy (heat) and converts it into an electronic signal, which is then processed to produce a thermal image or video, on which you can perform temperature calculations. Heat sensed by an infrared camera can be very precisely quantified, or measured, allowing you to not only monitor thermal performance, but also identify and evaluate the relative severity of heat-related problems.

A thermo graphic survey identifies abnormally high temperatures that result from situations such as:

  • Overloaded electrical circuitss3
  • Unbalanced loads
  • Loose connections
  • Damaged wiring
  • Frictional heating of bearings in mechanical systems
  • Automated process temperatures
  • Corrosion

Condition Base Monitoring & Vibration Analysis

Vibration analysis provides detailed information on rotating equipment and helps to identify potential and existing problems.

Detection by Vibration Analysis
 
  • Unbalance(Static, Couple, Quasi-Static),
  • Misalignment(Angular, Parallel, Combination)
  • Eccentric Rotor, Bent Shaft
  • Mechanical Looseness, Structural Weakness, Soft Foot
  • Resonance, Beat Vibration
  • Mechanical Rubbing
  • Problems Of Belt Driven Machines
  • Journal Bearing Defects
  • Antifriction Bearing Defects (Inner race, Outer race, Cage, Rolling Elements)
  • Problems of Hydrodynamic & Aerodynamic Machines (Blade Or Vane, Flow turbulence, Cavitation)
  • Gear Problems (Tooth wear, Tooth load, Gear eccentricity, Backlash, Gear misalignment, Cracked Or Broken Tooth)
  • Electrical Problems of AC & DC Motor ( Variable Air Gap, Rotor Bar Defect, Problems of SCRs).

Field balancing (In-house dynamic and static balancing)

s5Unbalance is the most common cause of damage in rotating machines. It can be found in fans, ventilators, belt pulleys and couplings. The enormous centrifugal forces resulting from the uneven mass distribution generates high vibrations during rotation, which affects the entire machine construction. This can cause bearings, seals and couplings to wear prematurely or even fail.

An unbalance is easy to detect in the vibration spectrum because it vibrates in sync with the shaft rotational speed. Its energy is concentrated at the first harmonic spectral line. This can be remedied by balancing the installed rotor with a portable balancer, a process known as field balancing.

Laser Alignment

Shaft alignment & Pulley Alignment

s6Rotating machines are prone to misalignment. Correctly aligned and regularly controlled machines significantly reduce operating and maintenance costs.
Conventional methods for shaft alignment, such as straightedge, thickness gage or dial gage, are very time consuming. The quality of the results also highly depends on the experience of the operator. Laser measuring devices use unique state-of-the-art technology to ensure maximum precision and user-friendly alignment of shafts.
