Vibration analysis
(ISO or Non-ISO Certificate)
Vibration analysis CAT I
This course is the beginning of the vibration analysis.
You will learn to:
- Collect vibration data
- Validate that the data is good
- Begin to perform basic analysis
- Use the training and certification as the start of a new and rewarding career as a vibration analyst
Vibration analysis CAT II
This course will teach you what you need to know to be a successful, confident, and competent vibration analyst.
You will learn to:
- Collect vibration data
- Validate that the data is good
- Set up the analyzer for routine data collection and special tests
- Diagnose most of the common fault conditions
- Perform special tests to validate unbalance, misalignment, resonance, looseness, and other conditions
- Know how to perform precision shaft alignment and balancing
- Use the training and certification as the next step in a rewarding career as a vibration analyst
Vibration analysis CAT III
This course is intended for people who are confident with spectrum analysis but who wish to push on and learn more about signal processing, time waveform and phase analysis, cross-channel testing, machine dynamics, and fault correction. If you wish to truly advance in vibration analysis and be able to run a successful condition monitoring team, then you are ready for this course.
- You will learn to diagnose all of the common fault conditions with rolling element and sleeve bearing machines, utilizing spectra, high-frequency detection techniques, time waveforms, phase readings, and other techniques to diagnose faults.
- You will also learn machine dynamics (natural frequencies, resonance, etc.), how to perform resonance testing, and how to correct resonance problems. The course also covers single and cross channel measurement capabilities of your analyzer.
- And after completing the CAT-III course, you will be able to set up and run a successful vibration program and mentor the junior analysts.
