Engineering and TechnicalPredictive Maintenance and Condition Monitoring Techniques
A hands-on course in vibration analysis, oil analysis, thermography and ultrasound for detecting equipment degradation before failure. Designed for mining and processing plants across Southern Africa, where unplanned downtime on rotating equipment carries a heavy production cost.
Course objectives
- Interpret vibration spectra to diagnose bearing, gear and alignment faults
- Apply infrared thermography to detect electrical and mechanical hot spots
- Read oil analysis reports to track lubricant condition and wear debris trends
- Use ultrasonic testing to detect leaks, electrical discharge and early bearing wear
- Build a condition based maintenance program integrating multiple monitoring technologies
Who should attend
- Condition monitoring technicians
- Reliability engineers
- Maintenance supervisors
- Vibration analysts
- Plant engineers responsible for rotating equipment
