Condition Monitoring techniques act as revolutionary mechanisms because of effective, quick, reliable and cost effective application to uphold, maximize, optimize operation of high end equipment’s, in particular and all operating equipment’s.
Various methods are being adopted in this technique as vibration analysis, wear debris analysis, thermography etc. These are most common and recognized for carrying out condition monitoring program.
Generally these condition monitoring techniques are isolated, carried out independently, analyzed separately without establishing correlation between these techniques, leading to generation of separate reports for each technique.
This leads to only a part of equipment faults typically getting diagnosed, as each condition monitoring technique has its own strength points and its own weakness points (or limitations). Therefore integration of these techniques can provide greater, deeper, and more reliable quick information leading to effective diagnosis of equipment in more accurate way.
