Assessing Transitions to Benchmark Performance - A Multi-Level Perspective

Daniël A. Lachman and Roy Tjoen A Choy

This article provides a different perspective on the difficulties experienced by companies that try to achieve business excellence.

Companies are seen as socio-technical entities that have ruling regimes that are path dependent (in their routines, beliefs, infrastructures, strategies, etc.) and thus hamper the adoption of practices that propagate efficiency, reliability, productivity, etc. A "heuristic device," such as the multi-level perspective originating from science and technology studies, is presented as a tool for managers, consultants and other analysts to decipher sociotechnical entities in order to identify landscape factors, regimes and niches (the locus for innovation). This will enable them to discover bottlenecks and opportunities for transitions of companies towards viable alternatives.

Motor Performance Management

The art of saving money by extending motor life and optimizing motor performance

Derek Norfield

Electric motors are the prime movers in the industrial environment. Although motors are efficient and reliable, they do eventually fail - and those failures often disrupt production, causing lost revenue that can be many times the cost of the motor. Managing motors saves both direct costs and the disruption of lost production.

Abstract

This is the second part of a series of articles discussing using electrical signature analysis (ESA) to improve a plant's electrical reliability. This article was written to give those not familiar with spectrum analysis the basics to read and interpret the graphs and displays used in spectrum analysis. It also introduces some basic analysis techniques to begin using ESA to identify developing problems in the motor system that could lead to either a loss of production or an increase in maintenance costs.

Benefits of Online Motor Monitoring Systems

An hour long presentation by Scott Lebruska, Sales Application Engineering, SKF USA

This Webinar presentation will outline the benefits of online motor monitoring. It will cover how online monitoring can improve a company's profitability by extending motor life, eliminating unexpected failures and reducing the time it takes to troubleshoot motor problems. Online motor monitoring continuously works 24/7 to identify issues within an entire motor system (such as quality of the incoming power, problems within a motor and the load imposed upon a motor) well before a monitored motor fails or become prohibitively expensive to repair. Operators and maintenance personnel can quickly discern when probable problem exists within a monitored motor system, and take appropriate action to avert costly downtime that would occur without such knowledge. Register for this Webinar, and learn how online motor monitoring can improve your company's bottom line while extending the life of the motors that drive your business.

A Better Bottom Line by using Electrical Signature Analysis

A forty-five minute long presentation by Don Haapapuro, Technical Support Manager, ALL-TEST Pro, LLC

Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA) combines Power Analysis, Voltage Analysis, and Current Analysis into a single package. This presentation will demonstrate the detection and analysis capability, as it pertains to lowering machine energy use and detecting common electrical supply problems to the motor. Corrective actions will also be discussed.

Motor Performance Management

An hour long presentation by Derek Norfield, MPM Engineer, ABB Inc.

Almost every machine has at least one electric motor to power it. The motor manufacturers have done a good job of designing and building motors so they are very reliable – but they still fail. Many people think they fail without warning but usually the motors will warn you – if you are paying attention.

SKF Launches New Generation of Static Motor Analysis Equipment

New series of static motor analyzers provide industrial motor maintenance, motor service and OEM manufacturing facilities with the broadest functionality of any surge test instrument on the market today.

SKF today announced the new SKF Static Motor Analyzer - Baker DX models, which will replace older-generation Baker D-series and ST series surge test analyzers, and perform motor and generator analysis faster and more accurately than previous generation models. The new instruments help users efficiently and accurately identify potential problems with motors and generators to prevent breakdowns that result in costly production downtime or interrupts.

Implementing ESA as Part of Your Predictive Maintenance Program to Improve Electrical Reliability

By William Kruger

Why Predictive Maintenance?

PART 1

Predictive Maintenance (PdM) resulted from studies that determined that Preventive Maintenance (PM) programs are only efiec-tive for the 11 percent of machine failures that are age related. This means approximately 89 percent of machine failures are random in nature and time-based maintenance programs are inefiective on these random types of failures.
