PEMAC GTA Chapter invites you to join them for its next Professional Development event. Join us for lunch, get insights on how to correct the major roadblocks in machinery installation and discover ultrasound techniques to enable reliability.
The ultimate goal for anyone in industrial maintenance should be to gain the optimum, full life of our machine assets. To do this we need to make changes to our current maintenance processes or at least the way a lot of plants are doing things. I see a lot of companies have some variation of a condition-based maintenance program but are scratching their heads on why they still get machine failures. They are not wrong in doing condition-based maintenance but that alone will not stop your machines from failing. First, let me explain why condition monitoring works.
The Rooted in Reliability podcast is a weekly Maintenance and Reliability podcast covering common industry challenges and what you can learn from them. Each episode dives deeper into critical issues and explains where you can begin correcting theses maintenance flaws today. Sharing new tips and techniques to help you achieve industry best practice and shining a light on widely debated maintenance topics with special guest experts.
“Reliable machinery installation” – it sounds like an obvious thing, don’t you agree? But where does reliability actually start?
We all know that “the thing” starts with the design. The design stage decides what is going to be installed. Which equipment, and where. But there is no decision of Who is going to perform the installation, and How it is going to be installed. Most of the time those two departments are not cooperating, especially if they don’t belong to the same organization. The installation teams must be involved in the design because they will provide their feedback for reliable machinery installation. They know exactly how things work out there and how they need to be done.
Recently one of our application experts was asked a question from a colleague on bore alignment. He wanted to know if you could use a shaft alignment system to do bore alignment. The answer was yes, but not without practicing.
