Confidently Diagnosing Misalignment With Vibration Analysis
Using brand new 3D animations, we will explore the physical motion associated with misalignment and explain why we see the characteristic vibration patterns that are common when machines are misaligned.
We will also discuss why misalignment is so often misdiagnosed. We will introduce phase analysis, and demonstrate how two channel analyzers make phase analysis very easy to perform, and how it helps us to accurately diagnose misalignment.
1) How does the vibration pattern change when machines are misaligned
2) How to accurately diagnose misalignment
3) Why phase analysis is such a useful tool
Constant Level Oilers Types and Installation
An 8 minute iPresentation Tutorial by Kelly Wollschlager, Sr Field Services/Reliability Tech, Trico Corp
In this short presentation you will learn the different types of constant level oilers available and the proper installation methods of each.
Contamination Control
A 60 minute On Demand Webinar Workshop by Kristopher B. Sonne, CLS, Senior Reliability Technician, Trico Corp
In order to keep our machines running reliably, sound lubrication and contamination control techniques are required. This presentation will introduce the listener to the basics of contamination control in both new and in-service lubricants.
Participate to learn:
1) The proper storage and handling of lubricating oils
2) How to effectively close off pumps and other sumps from outside contaminants
3) The importance of filtering both new and in-use hydraulic and lubricating fluids

Conundrums Facing Asset Managers Today
Conundrums Facing Asset Managers Today by Mick Drew, Managing Director,ARMS Reliability Engineers
Critical Success Factors for MRO and the Storeroom
Presented by Daniel DeWald, CPIM, CPMM SME Materials Management Professional Consultant, GPAllied
Critical success factors (CSF) are an essential part of the storeroom and MRO. They need to be identified and reviewed to insure success. They are not a key performance indicator, but instead are elements vital to strategize policies and management to be a winning sector of the overall maintenance direction.
Current Practice Review: How to Make Existing Maintenance Programs More Proactive (Inspection-Based)
An hour long webinar workshop on demand presented by Florian Lenders, Vice President, Ivara Corporation
Dan Pink on the surprising science of motivation
Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don't: Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories -- and maybe, a way forward.
Death by Lube
A 60 minute Webinar Tutorial on Demand led by Paul Klimuc, International Service Manager, SDT Ultrasound Solutions
Lubricating bearings based on their condition, rather than time in service, is the best way to optimize greasing at your facility. Condition based lubrication programs rely on ultrasound data collection to alarm when re-greasing is required. Techs re-lubricate bearings with an ultrasonic grease gun interface to ensure the right amount of grease is added. Join Paul Klimuc of SDT Ultrasound Solutions as he discusses the role of ultrasound for condition based bearing lubrication.
Demonstrate a simple example of reliability and you’ll gain a lot of support
Look around you. There are so many opportunities to apply common sense reliability principles and gain many untapped benefits. Watch this 8 minute video showing a simple Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA) example then think about the possibilities in your plant. Interestingly, this example was ‘stumbled' across during an RCM2 / MTA facilitator training session. You will see the value of getting Maintenance and Operations together to apply common sense strategies, in this case saving the company $11,000 annually. It's a great learning tool, too. Just imagine what you could achieve coupling RCM on high risk assets along with MTA, starting with the ‘lowest hanging fruit' in your plant.
Detecting Misalignment through Vibration Analysis
An hour long presentation by Mickey Harp, Vibration Application Engineer, LUDECA Inc.
This webinar will explain how vibration analysis can be used to detect misalignment in rotating machinery
Determining an OEE Goal Based Upon Takt Time
A 30 minute presentation by Rich Jansen, Reliability Engineering Subject Matter Expert, Life Cycle Engineering
The metric of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is very popular in manufacturing environments for measuring plant performance. While the metric is widely known, sometimes it is just another metric in a list of many others. However, the goal is not to create more metrics.
Determining thermal growth and pipe strain for the alignment process
An hour long presentation by Mr. Ron Newman, Technical Sales & Support Representative, PRUFTECHNIK, Canada
Misalignment has long been recognized as one of the leading causes of vibration in rotating machines. Under ideal conditions, laser shaft alignment is a correction method that is well understood and practiced, however under difficult conditions it can quickly become a major headache. Increasing our understanding of thermal growth, pipe strain and other factors will go a long way in helping to resolve that problem alignment job!
Diesel Engines - Ultrasonic Inspection of air intake system – 546 LeTourneau Loader
A 9 minute iPresentation Tutorial by Allan Rienstra, SDT Ultrasound Systems.
Join Allan Rienstra for a tutorial on an interesting application for the SDT170 which is not new but probably not well enough known for people to be making use of it; the inspection of air intakes systems on heavy machines.
Do you do the Verti-Zontal?
A half hour long webinar on demand by Patrick Lawrence of VibrAlign
The use of lasers in measuring misalignment has improved the shaft alignment process. Thousands of laser-based measuring tools have been sold over the past 20+ years. No doubt, laser systems have eliminated many errors and simplified the process used to measure misalignment. However, after all these years, we have not dramatically changed or improved the basic process used to correct misalignment. The way we have been correcting misalignment is inefficient, time consuming and frustrating to those who have to move machines to make proper alignments. It's time to learn some new moves.
