The Virtual Plant Vibration Analyst

A New Method for Troubleshooting Your In-plant Machinery

The attached technical paper introduces a vibration analysis troubleshooting method employed during a training session with Honeywell Corporation at their Kansas City, Missouri, facility. Honeywell maintenance personnel wanted an effective on-the-job training method that would allow them to implement Operating Deflection Shape (ODS) Analysis throughout their department.

What resulted is considered a methodology for performing more complex vibration analysis and diagnostics via the phone and internet with a more experienced analyst, without that analyst ever having to set foot in their facility.
