There are many people who want to know what the benefits of measuring
machine vibration are. If you’re one of them, read this blog.
Your business relies on heavy machinery to produce a product. You then
sell this product using a dedicated marketing and sales strategy. It’s a
flawless system – but part of it relies on machine-based capital, not human
labor.
Human labor has its problems, but replacing the employee is costly. To
avoid it, to reduce turnover, and associated expenses, you have to make sure
everybody is jiving, that there are good vibrations. This much is obvious.
What about machine
vibration? What about checking on that vibration measure? The machines, like humans, can get sick, get
into a funk, have vibes that are off, and become defunct and die.
How can you reduce that expenditure?
Lesson one: lessen the equipment
costs. Make replacing the part more
important than replacing the whole. If
the employee just does one part of the job incorrectly, replace them. If it’s
just one fan blade that’s out of whack, fix the problem early so you don’t have
to replace the entire fan.
Lesson two: examine that bearing
vibration. The waves themselves can
be telling. Small amplitudes of
vibration may fall into the high-frequency band, calling attention to the
bearings.
Similarly, with your co-workers
and team, you can listen to the quality of their comments to see how they’re
holding up.
Lesson three: reduce labor costs. You don’t want to pay an arm
and a leg for overtime in the midst of a pandemic. To reduce emergency repair costs, use
monitoring equipment to get problems solved without calling somebody in on a
Saturday.
When you throw a wrench into
things, you shake them up. If your
machine is shaking like it’s got a wrench lodged into its gears, that’s bad
news.
You can save a lot of problems by
not letting things get to this point.
Just trust your team with the vibration monitoring equipment.
It's as easy as 1-2-3. Lesson completed.
