Infrared Thermography
Motion Amplification utilizes a high-definition video camera to measure and quantify motion, slowing down and magnifying an object's movement to visually reveal structural faults. This technique simplifies the identification of root causes and weaknesses.
Each of the millions of pixels from the camera's sensor serves as a vibration measurement point, capable of detecting deflections as small as 1/10,000 of an inch. Analysts can convert any point of interest in an image into a waveform or spectrum, enabling a detailed understanding of surface movements. This information, previously unattainable through conventional methods, helps identify the root cause of faults, resulting in more accurate and timely repairs. Motion Amplification also facilitates running shaft inspections and one-step phase analysis.
Infrared thermography is a technique that visually detects infrared radiation (heat) emitted by an object. It allows technicians to confirm normal operations and, more importantly, identify thermal anomalies—abnormal heat patterns invisible to the naked eye—that may indicate potential faults, defects, or inefficiencies within a system.
This technology can detect issues such as faulty electrical connections, overloaded circuits, abnormally warm motors, potential bearing failures, line blockages, tank levels, pipe temperatures, missing insulation, air infiltration, and moisture damage. By providing valuable information from an infrared camera, asset managers and maintenance personnel can better maintain systems and equipment, while also monitoring or improving production quality.
