Many Benefits in Measuring Machine Vibration

There are many people who want to know what the benefits of measuring machine vibration are. If you’re one of them, read this blog.

Your business relies on heavy machinery to produce a product. You then sell this product using a dedicated marketing and sales strategy. It’s a flawless system – but part of it relies on machine-based capital, not human labor.

Human labor has its problems, but replacing the employee is costly. To avoid it, to reduce turnover, and associated expenses, you have to make sure everybody is jiving, that there are good vibrations. This much is obvious.

What about machine vibration? What about checking on that vibration measure? The machines, like humans, can get sick, get into a funk, have vibes that are off, and become defunct and die.

How can you reduce that expenditure?

Lesson one: lessen the equipment costs. Make replacing the part more important than replacing the whole. If the employee just does one part of the job incorrectly, replace them. If it’s just one fan blade that’s out of whack, fix the problem early so you don’t have to replace the entire fan.

Lesson two: examine that bearing vibration. The waves themselves can be telling. Small amplitudes of vibration may fall into the high-frequency band, calling attention to the bearings.

Similarly, with your co-workers and team, you can listen to the quality of their comments to see how they’re holding up.

Lesson three: reduce labor costs. You don’t want to pay an arm and a leg for overtime in the midst of a pandemic. To reduce emergency repair costs, use monitoring equipment to get problems solved without calling somebody in on a Saturday.

When you throw a wrench into things, you shake them up. If your machine is shaking like it’s got a wrench lodged into its gears, that’s bad news.

You can save a lot of problems by not letting things get to this point. Just trust your team with the vibration monitoring equipment.

It's as easy as 1-2-3. Lesson completed.
