Predictive Maintenance Techniques

Ultrasonic Analysis
Detects air, steam, and vacuum leaks with precision
Identifies early-stage mechanical wear and lubrication issues
Pinpoints electrical faults: arcing, tracking, and corona
Verifies steam trap and valve performance in real time
Enables safe, non-intrusive testing during operation
Backed by ISO 29821 standards with actionable reporting

Vibration Analysis
Detects bearing wear, imbalance, misalignment, and looseness
Identifies mechanical faults before failure occurs
Monitors condition trends across motors, pumps, and gearboxes
Supports precision maintenance planning and root cause analysis
Reduces unplanned downtime and unnecessary part replacement
Compliant with ISO 10816 and ISO 20816 standards

Infrared Thermography
- Locates hot spots in electrical panels, motors, and drives
- Detects overheating components, poor connections, and overloads
- Identifies insulation failures and energy loss areas
- Enables safe, non-contact inspection during operation
- Helps prevent fires, breakdowns, and compliance violations
- Performed in accordance with ISO 18434 and NFPA 70B

Motor Circuit Analysis
- Evaluates motor health without removing or disassembling equipment
- Detects winding shorts, insulation breakdown, and rotor issues
- Identifies faults missed by vibration or thermography alone
- Useful for both de-energized and energized testing (varies by method)
- Ideal for motors, generators, and transformers
- Supports predictive failure planning and spare parts management

Power Quality Analysis
Monitors voltage, current, harmonics, and transients in real time
Detects imbalances, sags, surges, and harmonic distortion
Prevents damage to sensitive electronics and VFDs
Verifies system loading and utility power quality
Identifies root causes of nuisance trips and overheating
Supports compliance with IEEE 519 and energy efficiency initiatives

Leak Surveys
Pinpoints compressed air, steam, gas, and vacuum leaks
Reduces wasted energy and compressor load
Identifies hard-to-access leaks using ultrasound
Generates prioritized leak repair lists with estimated loss per leak
Supports sustainability, cost savings, and rebate qualification
Fast ROI—often within weeks of inspection

Oil Analysis
Detects wear particles, contaminants, and lubricant degradation
Tracks component wear through metal content and particle shape
Identifies coolant leaks, fuel dilution, and oxidation
Enables optimized oil change intervals and reduced waste
Supports failure prevention in gearboxes, hydraulics, and engines
Can be trended over time for precise condition monitoring

Laser Shaft Alignment
Prevents and corrects misalignment in rotating machinery
Reduces vibration, heat, and coupling/bearing wear
Improves energy efficiency and machine life
Faster and more accurate than dial indicators
Verifies alignment within manufacturer tolerances
Essential for motors, pumps, fans, and gearboxes
