Description
This one-day training program is designed to provide maintenance professionals, engineers, and technicians with a foundation in vibration analysis and an understanding of the various vibration sensors and devices used in Predictive Maintenance (PdM) programs.
The course is split into two sessions: the morning session covers the basics of vibration analysis, while the afternoon session dives into the specifics of different vibration sensors, including their benefits and limitations. This program is ideal for those looking to enhance their knowledge of vibration sensors (off/on Line, Wireless,…) and its application in maintaining equipment reliability.
Recommended audience
Reliability Managers and engineers, Maintenance Managers, Maintenance supervisors and Maintenance engineers, Operations engineers, …
