Vibration analysis, properly done, allows the user to evaluate and detect the condition of equipment and avoid failures. Understanding the general health of your machines allows you to know when you should carry out maintenance tasks. 

Of the top three forces impacting our rotating equipment, unbalance is the easiest to reduce. So why not practice the tools and methods that allow you to remove these forces.

Removing unbalance in rotors in-situ is a combination of an art form and practical theory.

Our two day on site balance courses can empower your employees with the skill sets to identify and remove even the most complex unbalance problems at your facility.

Vibration Condition Monitoring  involves collecting vibration data periodically on a specific machine.
A key advantage is to trend a machine’s vibration levels over time. It is considered one of the best forms of predictive maintenance, as it enables a more accurate assessment of the machines health and identify systematic problems.

Ensuring your machinery and manufacturing systems are running as trouble-free as possible is one of our strengths. Insight provides certified maintenance professionals who can help fine tune your machinery and mechanical systems.

New and repaired machines can often bring unforeseen problems in plants.  Insight can help give a baseline analysis of new and repaired equipment and identify any problems, before you sign off on "Acceptance".

If your company is considering performing vibration monitoring as part of their maintenance practices, Insight can provide training on site or at our training facility. Our training combines a mix of what your staff needs and formal vibration training.

Torsional Vibration cause angular oscillatory motion that results in twisting of machinery couplings and shafts. Torsional oscillation generates high sheer stresses leading to fatigue failure of shafts.

Insight provides theoretical and analytical torsional modelling services for single and multi-branch systems. Telemetry technology with high speed data collection allow us to accurately measure and analyze the torque and torsional stresses on the drive train system

Excessive vibration, at inherent modes, in structural components or mechanical support systems can shorten equipment life and cause premature or unanticipated catastrophic failures. Detailed Structural dynamic analysis combining Modal-Finite Element-Stress-Fatigue analysis is often requires to assess the potential failure resulting from stress cycles of vibration.

Insight uses the latest in modeling software to help identify and resolve your structural dynamic problems. We can examine the modal deflected shapes, determine the natural frequency and assess the failure modes. Using our imperial data to calibrate the finite element model and make recommendations to resolve the problem.

Vibration can occur in any component, machine or structural system, and the frequencies at which they naturally occur is inherent to the properties of the system. The vibrational modes, particularly those occurring close to or at the natural frequency of the system, can be detrimental and can cause system failure or shorten the life of the mechanical or structural equipment. 

Operating Deflection Shape (ODS) analysis is a method used for visualization of the machine / structures vibration patterns caused by unknown operating forces.

Modal Analysis is study of the vibration patterns of a machine under known external forces.

Of the top three forces impacting our rotating equipment, unbalance is the easiest to reduce. So why not practice the tools and methods that allow you to remove these forces.

Removing unbalance in rotors in-situ is a combination of an art form and practical theory.

Comprehensive vibration surveys are performed on reciprocating engine and compressor assemblies.  A detailed analysis is performed on components showing excessive vibrations. Impact tests are carried out to determine the natural frequencies and frequency response functions of the components. Recommendations with detailed drawings are provided for modifications and corrections.

Piping pulsation and vibration can have severe detrimental outcomes that are results from pressure spikes due to the system design or improper operation. Such as the cracking or breaking of pipes, valves and pumps can pose a large safety and financial risk and vastly shorten the lifespan of the system.

Understanding how an object reacts to various forces (strain and stress ), can save your equipments performance and prevent costly repairs.
