This discussion will focus on the use of Vibration Analysis to verify machinery problems or faults, primarily misalignment. Case studies will be presented to highlight the benefits of using Vibration Analysis for the early detection and verification of misalignment problems and the use of Laser Alignment systems to correct problems found.
After corrective actions are performed and problems eliminated, new vibration measurements should "always" be taken to confirm satisfactory results. The intent is to illustrate how Vibration Analysis can save valuable time when used in conjunction with Laser Alignment to verify the root cause of problems found and to confirm satisfactory results.
