One of the first signs of machine failure is the propagation of vibrations. These vibrations are already present even when the machine appears to be operating normally and well before a fault occurs. By analyzing the frequency and amplitude of vibrations using a technique called spectral analysis, it is possible to determine whether a machine has a fault and how serious that fault is.

Vibration analysis can detect and identify a large number of faults. The occurrence of these faults can be determined well in advance, allowing you to plan repairs and integrate them into your machine monitoring and maintenance schedule. This analysis often helps eliminate ‘catastrophic’ failures (with serious consequences).
