MDS Machinery Diagnostic Service engineers help you design and implement the Predictive Maintenance system for your specific machinery requirements. Training local plant personnel in initial system setup, use of monitoring and test equipment, and data acquisition procedures is emphasized. As the experience of plant personnel develops, they can perform an increasing role in the program until it can be maintained without MDS assistance.

• Development of PDM Cell in an industrial unit
• Development and Implementation of PDM program
• Providing necessary instrumentation for all PDM techniques
  • Vibration Monitoring: Most mechanical faults in rotating equipment produce vibrations, including issues like unbalance, misalignment, and looseness, which can arise from poor assembly, bearing deterioration, and gear tooth wear. Vibration monitoring involves the regular measurement of vibrations in machinery, usually obtained from bearing housings or data outputs from the machine supervisor's panel.
    • • Bearing defects • Misalignment imbalance • Soft foot mounting • Mechanical looseness • Resonance • Bearing preload and incorrect assembly • Gear mesh abnormalities • Journal bearing faults • Belt drive faults • Pump cavitation and process flow problems • Beat frequencies • Single- and multi-plane in-situ balancing • Complex machine investigations and problem solving • Turbo-machinery start-up/shutdown and troubleshooting • Machine baselines, acceptance testing, and 3rd party witnessing • Failure investigations and warranty issues • Structural and modal analysis investigations • Turbines, generators, compressors, motors, pumps, and couplings •Performance testing Machinery protection Vibration monitoring can detect a wide range of failure modes: Envirnomental motoring ( NOX, SOX, CO2, SpM(PM 10, PM 2.5)etc.
    • Visual Monitoring
    • Noise Monitoring
    • Bearing Condition Monitoring (Shock Pulse/ Kurtosis)
    • Hot-spot Monitoring: This non-destructive technique utilizes an infrared camera to identify thermal patterns and assess operating temperatures. It’s useful for detecting loose or improperly terminated electrical connections, overloading, defective contacts, phase imbalances, and other electrical problems. In mechanical applications, it’s useful for detecting overheated bearings; misalignment in belts, sheaves, and couplings; faulty steam traps; and other anomalies that exhibit a thermal change as components degrade.
    • Motor Check Monitoring: Motor current signature analysis (MCSA) has proven to be a highly valuable predictive maintenance tool. Although it is a relatively young, rarely utilized technology, it is rapidly gaining acceptance in industry today. Mechanical faults related to belts, couplers, alignment, and more are easily found through the use of a demodulated current spectrum. Simply put, MCSA records and analyzes motor current readings in the frequency domain. It has been effective in locating rotor faults and air gap problems in motors.
    • Wear Debris Monitoring involves the detection of wear debris contamination by analyzing particle size, shape, and elemental composition. This process aims to identify the size and shape of each particle, determine their chemical composition, pinpoint specific component failures, and utilize trending data to monitor wear over time.
    • Structural Integrity Monitoring [Modal Analysis & Operation Deflection Shape (ODS) Analysis]
    • Transformer Monitoring: Transformer failures can occur due to various causes. Transformer in-service interruptions and failures usually result from dielectric breakdown, winding distortion caused by short-circuit withstand, winding and magnetic circuit hot spots, electrical disturbances, deterioration of insulation, lightning, inadequate maintenance, loose connections, overloading, failure of accessories such as OLTCs, bushings, etc. The important aspects of condition monitoring of transformers are i) thermal modeling, ii) dissolved gas analysis, iii) frequency response analysis, and iv) partial discharge analysis.
