About the program

This 12-week course, led by an industry expert will provide you with practical, in-depth view of the vibration analysis, balancing and alignment techniques.

The course provides a detailed examination of the detection, location and diagnosis of faults in rotating and reciprocating machinery using vibration analysis. The basics and underlying physics of vibration signals are first examined. The acquisition and processing of signals is reviewed followed by a discussion of machinery fault diagnosis using vibration analysis, and rectifying the unidentified faults.

The important topic of balancing is then discussed drawing on practical examples. Alignment and other machinery faults are then covered. Other often neglected areas of particle and chemical analysis, temperature monitoring and failure analysis are covered in practical detail. The course is concluded with a set of practical rules for a precision maintenance program including issues such as machines to monitor, managing the data usefully and scheduling maintenance.

You will have an opportunity to discuss precision maintenance for rotating machinery and associated applications, operations, maintenance and management issues. The focus will be on the most up-to-date information and best practice. Towards the end of the course, you will have developed the skills and ability to recognize and solve precision maintenance issues in a structured and confident manner, in working and improving the reliability and performance of their rotating machinery.

Certification

To obtain a certificate of completion for EIT’s Professional Certificate of Competency, students must achieve a 65% attendance rate at the live, online fortnightly webinars. Detailed summaries/notes can be submitted in lieu of attendance. In addition, students must obtain a mark of 60% in the set assignments which could take the form of written assignments and practical assignments. Students must also obtain a mark of 100% in quizzes.
