Expert analysis of machinery enhanced through the use of DLI Engineering’s ExpertALERT Software
Predict provides vibration services for all types of rotating machinery in the power, chemical, plastics, mining, refining, manufacturing, and metals businesses.  In fact, we can analyze rotating machinery virtually anywhere it is being used in any industry.

Predict can reduce the cost of vibration analysis by setting up all machines and the vibration database ahead of time, then sending a data collection instrument to you to collect data.  This eliminates the normal charge for labor to have a contractor come on site and collect themselves.  We can, if you have no labor available, provide a trained individual to collect the data.

Our services include providing your facility with a survey to determine which machines should be analyzed, the types of condition monitoring that should be applied and the frequency of monitoring.

Once a machine is selected for monitoring, Predict will go to your site and setup each machine for analysis, including:

  1. Preparing the surface at each bearing point to permanently attach, using high-temperature epoxy adhesive, an oriented brass or stainless steel pad, with a protective plastic cap, and an aluminum label with a bar code number that uniquely identifies the point to our database.
  2. Collecting machine information on forcing frequency information to identify all sites of potential faults that may indicate a particular problem.
3.  Taking a digital picture of the machine to put in database so that analysts and other personnel have a full understanding of exactly what the machine is and how it is installed.
4.  
Collecting the first set of data on each machine running at the time of setup and training customer personnel in the proper operation of the data collection instrument.
5.  
Analysis and determination of maintenance actions based on the type and severity of faults found.
Predict collects vibration data in a manner that ensures maximum information on machine condition can be determined from a single collection of data. At each data collection point, two Fmax's are collected, one for low frequencies in the zero to ten orders of fundamental speed, and one for high frequencies in the zero to one hundred orders of fundamental speed.
The use of epoxy to attach oriented pads, in addition to using triaxial accelerometers ensures that the maximum amount of vibration data is collected to determine machine condition. Epoxied pads allow a high resolution of frequencies that are significantly higher than two-pole magnet assemblies, even when the sensors in the triaxial unit are not on the main access of installation.

DLI Engineering's award-winning ExpertALERT screening system ensures that most faults are found and identified by our Analysts.

Predict's report of findings provide concise recommendations for maintenance actions if any faults are found. We do not merely indicate that a problem exists; we identify the fault, or potential faults, and suggest what actions may be necessary to mitigate the circumstances.

A summary page of rankings for all equipment being monitored is presented, allowing an easy way for management to determine the maintenance condition of their facility at a glance.

If you want detailed analysis, expert results and a professional report, please call  Predict to provide you with a quote.

Services can also include the incorporation of oil analysis and thermography data in the evaluation of overall machine operating condition.
