All machines vibrate !

Everyone involved in maintenance has certainly already heard of ‘condition monitoring’. Condition monitoring simply means that every machine is regularly subjected to a ‘health check’ – normally with a vibration inspection: in the simplest case, the measurement instrument which is used to perform this check provides a numerical value which can be compared with a standard value to indicate the machine states, good - OK - bad (e.g.: DIN ISO 10816-3).

Excessive vibration means:

increased wear

reduced machine runtime

increased repair effort

bad product quality

higher energy consumption

The resulting downtime, production loss and repair result in high costs. Machine Condition Monitoring not only saves money, but also pays in the long term with trouble-free machine operation.
