Mechanical Thermal Infrared Inspections It’s not only electrical parts which can fail during production, mechanical items such as motor pumps, gears, clutches, motor bearings, belts, heat exchangers, pressure accumulators, conveyors etc., all have a tendency to fail, often during production costing thousand of dollars in lost production, orders and wages not to mention the often costly repair or replacement of the failed component itself. In this modern world of maximizing machine running time coupled with often irregular or poor maintenance schedules, we can see lack of lubrication servicing, causing worn-out machine parts which in turn create more friction and added friction causes the damaged component to have a higher temperature than an intact component. Regularly infrared thermal imaging surveying rotating equipment will allow you to carry out trending (Monitoring) of it’s condition and even to predict failure.  - Shaft Bearings

With a Mechanical Infrared Thermal Imaging or Thermographic Survey from EMA Consulting Engineers, Inc. damaged or failing components can be identified before they fail and thus can be changed in time, before costly breakage or interruption occurs. The Benefits of a Infrared Thermal Imaging Thermographic SurveyWe work with our clients to increase equipment reliability, decrease downtime and we can even help increase production output from certain types of equipment. If your facility cannot afford the expense of production equipment breaking down, then the cost conscious maintenance/facilities manager should schedule a Thermographic Survey without delay. For every dollar spent on a infrared thermal imaging survey, you will reap multiples in return by ensuring your facility is up in production without any costly downtime. |
