A mechanical thermal survey can detect faults on overheating and overloaded motors and pumps, which allows action for the correct maintenance or adjustment, before a breakdown occurs.
Thermal imaging surveys can cover a large range of mechanical applications, a few of which include:
- > Gears, Shafts and Bearings
- > Pumps & Couplings
- > Compressors
- > Conveyor Rollers and Drive Gears
- > Motors and Engines
- > Heat Exchangers
Regular thermal inspections can locate failing mechanical equipment. Mechanical faults such as motors, gearboxes and bearings occur gradually over the lifespan of the part, generating increased friction, which generates heat. Some of the benefits of mechanical surveys are outlined below:
- > Quick efficient monitoring of systems and components
- > Quickly identifies anomalies, preventing failure and reducing downtime
- > Non-invasive, Non-Contact, No shutdown of equipment is required
- > Support planned and predictive maintenance programmes
- > Meets or exceeds insurance requirements
- > Cost effective – saving you time and money
Predictive maintenance is essential in scheduling plant downtime as it allows you to service and repair your equipment. By identifying a problem early it allows for the part to receive the correct maintenance/adjustment or replacement and avoid potentially catastrophic failure.
