Think of Operating Data Analysis as a set of two separate measurements: First of all, with the machine running, we conduct a set of measurements during stationary operation – and do so without interrupting operations. Then our experts collect the second set of measurements during load-changing conditions. A shutdown procedure followed by an immediate restart provides valuable data about resonance frequency stimulation – a strongly recommended test for machinery in the field. Your data is placed in context, drawing from our extensive database, with your current measurement sets being compared to the Zero Measurement during production and earlier ODAs.
These findings allow us to detect
● imminent bearing damage
● process-related deposits
● impeller contamination
● changes in gear rolling
● meshing conditions of the gearbox and oil pump
