EMP Vibration Testing Capabilities

EMP Engineering Services vibration testing offerings employ state-of-the-art equipment and a knowledge base that is the product of vibration work ranging from certification and research work in submarines of the US Navy to condition monitoring in steel mills to troubleshooting in mines.  Whatever your vibration problems may be, EMP can solve them.  Some of our key offerings are:

Periodic Vibration Monitoring (Health)
Periodic vibration monitoring allows a user to know the health and reliability of their critical equipment through periodic vibration measurement and analysis.  Data is collected on a regular schedule and analyzed.  The analysis includes comparison against predicted problems for that particular equipment as well as comparison to historic data to check for abnormalities.  Faults such as bad bearings are identified and tracked to permit customers to plan the optimal time to remove equipment from service for repair.  Avoidance of unscheduled downtime and unnecessary overtime repairs provide a significant cost savings.
 
EMP uses a CSI 2120 Analyzer with RBMWare to collect and analyze vibration data on a periodic basis from selected equipment.  This state-of-the-art equipment allows us to quickly and accurately asses the condition of your equipment.  We then provide reports documenting any problems found and updating any previously identified problems.  These problems are color-coded to indicate the severity of the fault.  Depending upon the customers wishes, reports can be printed or delivered via the internet in a pdf format or both.
 
Vibration Analysis (Troubleshooting)
EMP also performs vibration analysis using an OROS OR-25 Digital Signal Analyzer.  Vibration analysis is for more advanced problems such as resonant frequency identification, modal analysis, transfer functions and time-based measurements such as coast-downs.  This multi-channel instrument has helped us to solve problems including:
        1. Cold Reduction Mill Chatter
2. Structural Resonances in Furnaces
        3. New Equipment Vibration Isolation
 
DC and Variable Speed Vibration
One place where EMP Engineering Services stands above our competitors is in vibration work with variable speed equipment such as that found in steel mills, mines and pulp and paper plants.  Due to the changing speeds and loads this equipment is subjected to, this type of measurement and analysis is much more involved than something like a single-speed pump.  EMP has extensive experience in these areas and provides services above and beyond that offered by our competition.
