The process of monitoring the parameter of machinery (vibration, temperature etc.), in order to identify a significant change which is indicative of a developing fault. The use of condition monitoring allows for scheduled maintenance to take & prevent consequential damages and avoid its consequences. The data collected can be used to establish trends, predict failure, and calculate remaining life of an asset.
This new achievement in vibration monitoring technology is an ideal complement to traditional vibration analysis. The method is capable of detecting at a very early stage such machine problems which are generally difficult to identify early with conventional vibration monitoring techniques, such as gear and bearing damages.
Goal of CBM
The main goal of condition based maintenance is to help you optimize your maintenance resources by performing maintenance work only when needed. CBM makes use of the Predictive maintenance tools to detect, monitor, analyze and detect anomalies in machines.
Measurement Method
There are two types of vibration measurement methods "Permanent online vibration monitoring system" and "Portable off-line monitoring system". Either one is selected generally depending on importance rank of equipment.
