VCAT1 Training Course Overview
The ISO 18436 Category I course is the ideal starting place for new vibration analysts, people collecting vibration data, and those who want a better understanding of vibration analysis and condition monitoring. If you are ready to get started in vibration analysis and condition monitoring, this course is for you.
VCAT1 Training Course Objectives
Mobius™ makes learning about vibration analysis unique. We use 3D animations, Flash simulations, and numerous software simulators that completely demystify vibration analysis. While vibration training courses have traditionally been very theoretical, difficult to understand (and boring), you will be captivated by the Mobius™ training methods, and you will enjoy our practical approach. You will take away skills that you can immediately apply to your job, and you will truly understand what you are doing.
Key Learning Outcomes
- The benefits of performing condition monitoring and improving reliability
- The condition monitoring technologies: acoustic emission, infrared analysis (thermography), oil analysis, wear particle analysis, motor testing
- How machines work – via supplementary self-study using the “Equipment Knowledge” section
- How vibration measurements can tell you about the condition of the machine
- How to collect good, repeatable measurements
- What the F max, resolution, averaging and other analyser settings mean
- How to analyse vibration spectra, and the basics of fault diagnosis: unbalance, misalignment, looseness, rolling element bearings faults, resonance, and other conditions
- An introduction to setting alarm limits
“I found the content covered very informative and delivered using very good case studies. This course has encouraged me to continue on with the Category 2 Vibration Analysis course in time to come”
