Condition Monitoring technology is applied in transportation and industrial sectors which includes vibration analysis and diagnostics, acoustic emission, oil condition sensors, etc.
In today's session, we will discuss on Condition Monitoring along with its Definition, Types, Maintenance, Structural health, Need, Machine fault signature, Applications, Advantages, and disadvantages.
Let's dive into the topic...
Condition monitoring is the process of monitoring a parameter of condition in machinery (vibration, temperature, etc.), in order to identify a significant change which is indicative of a developing fault is called Condition Monitoring.
The types of Condition Monitoring are as follows:
The explanation for the types of Condition Monitoring are as follows.
Within a prescribed route, the shop floor operator records the data of machine periodically with the help of a device and this data is to be studied to determine whether there is a need of advanced analysis or not.
PMA is the Abbreviation of Portable Machine Analysis. It is a system in which portable devices are attached to the machines to monitor their health and collect the data simultaneously.
OMM is the Abbreviation of Online Machine Monitoring. It is a system in which tools and machine equipment are monitored and diagnosed in the running state itself by embedding devices and servers for scheduling and analysis.
FAT is the Abbreviation of Factory Assertion Test. It is a system that is used to assure that the finished goods have met the criteria up to the norms or not and also record the possible failures of equipment.
OAT is the Abbreviation of Online Machine Protection. In this system, a routine of continuos monitoring of the machine can done as it starts running and the machines can be turned ON/OFF by the setting mechanism. The embedded devices are used to record and diagnose the failures.
This is the explanation for the types of Condition Monitoring.
There are four types of maintenance in Condition Monitoring.They are:
As the name indicates that, it will monitor the health of the structure during the running conditions i.e. working of a machine under the control of computers. It is also named as Active Control Structure in Condition Monitoring.
The Active Control Structure consists of PLC, Control room, OPC, Controllers/Servers, Network hubs, etc.
It can detect machinery problems if the system is:
It can pass the information to DCS plant information systems via OPC.
It uses existing plant LAN Ethernet infrastructure.
Confirmation of mechanical conditions to reach plant for planned shutdown or remedy
Fix what is 'broke' before failure.
Condition Monitoring can be discussed on various aspects and some of them are as follows.
Machine Fault can be defined as any change in machinery part or component which makes it unable to perform its function satisfactorily is called a machine fault.
Machinary problems are due to:
The detection techniques are shown below and are as follows.
The applications of Condition Monitoring are as follows.
Condition Monitoring for:
The advantages of Condition Monitoring are as follows.
The disadvantages of Condition Monitoring are as follows.
Condition monitoring is the process of monitoring a parameter of condition in machinery (vibration, temperature, etc.), in order to identify a significant change which is indicative of a developing fault is called Condition Monitoring.
The advantages of condition monitoring are:
1. The maintenance cost is lower.
2. Increase the life span of machinery.
3. Maximizes the production output.
4. Accurate Analysis.
The four types of maintenance are:
1. Periodic Preventive Maintenance.
2. Predictive Maintenance.
3. Proactive Maintenance.
4. Reactive Maintenance.
The condition monitoring techniques are:
1. Visual Inspection
2. Aural
3. Wear debris
4. Operation variables,Temperature
So this is the detailed information on Condition Monitoring. If you have any doubts, ask us and we will answer you as soon as possible. Happy learning!
