Motion Magnification

See what’s really happening to your equipment in real time.  Pinpoint the root cause of the vibration or dynamic problems costing you time and money!

Key Benefits

  • Faster, easier, and less error-prone diagnosis of vibration and system dynamics enable problems to be pinpointed with more certainty.
  • Enables your reliability and maintenance engineers to pinpoint problem root causes, lower maintenance costs, reduce problem resolution time and machine or plant downtime.

Applications

Localized Structural Vibration:

  • Bearing pedestals

  • Pipe Rack

  • Duct work

  • Cooling Towers

  • Blowers

Frequent Mechanical Failures:

  • Pumps

  • Fans

  • Machine Bases

  • Bent shaft

  • Misalignment

What Problems Can It Detect?

  • Soft Foot

  • Misalignment

  • Unbalance

  • Structural Deficiencies (cracks, improper welds, supports)

  • De-Lamination in equipment foundation or grouting

  • Resonance Frequency (using Modal impact testing to confirm natural frequency)

  • Flow or acoustic induced vibrations

How Does It Work?

  • Movement Captured by a High Speed, High Resolution Camera

  • System Specific Software Converts Data Collected to Video

    • Analyzes pixels for vibration signature
    • Helps find frequencies of interest
    • Magnifies and slows motion at specified frequencies
