The Art of Diagnostic - Solution that improve your asset, increase your plant machine reliability and performance.
Many establish company has increased their performance and productivity after moved from time-based maintenance to condition-based maintenance. Condition-based maintenance involves all actions performed as a result of system or product condition, detected by means of condition monitoring. Basically, it is eliminating casual stressors, which can lead to a degradation of the asset or equipment
Company Profile
Does your machine keep failing without notice?, wonder why new machine still failed even though maintenance has been taken?, What is the biggest factor that cause machine to fail?, Searching the way to reduce unnecessary maintenance cost without jeopardies equipment performance?
We have the solution for the above problems.
“You have to pick the right tool for the point you're trying to make and there is no one solution.”
When critical assets are not identified any vibration issue at an early stage, severe damage to the machine can occur. In the most extreme cases, the machine must be replaced entirely as a result of excessive damage.Hence, it will reduce availability. The study are complex but doable whenever the type of application are known such as :
Infrared Thermography in Condition Monitoring helps in the easy detection of the heat-related problems, thermal anomalies, mechanical issues, and much more.By applying this technology, the large area can be inspected fast, reliable and safe.
MCSA can be described as a technique that helps in determining the induction motor’s operating condition without disturbing the production. In other words, it senses an electrical signal that has current components and identifies the faults in the initial stage. Therefore, it plays a pivotal role in preventing damage and diagnosing motor failure.
Ultrasonic detection is recommended by world-wide entities as the best method for detecting the location of leaks, electrical discharged, bearing monitoring and valve in order to minimize energy waste and improve plant efficiency.
Acoustic Emission (AE) technology as one of its primary tools for valve inspection, it has revolutionised leak detection and quantifying valve leakages, making it quicker and easier than ever before.
Vibration measurement device rely on the sensor and in order to correctly recover the true value of amplitudes of vibration, calibration is needed. Sensor's resistance, senstivity and sweep test will be tested and calibrated based on the manufacturer specification.
Advance analysis comes as finding solution when usual machine problems can't be identified. The result simulation or in graphic to help the client to understand and see the problem with the solution provided.
The Art Of Diagnostic
Reduction of scheduled outages. Prevention of damage cause by major failures. Ability to run plant safely with known detects
Faults can be quantified and maintenance scheduled to deal with most critical first
Defects are detected well before catastrophic failure occurs.
Diagnosis of nature and location of fault while equipment is in service allows rapid repair once the equipment is taken off-line

Engineering is hard work. Doing what we knows best, breaking new ground, and pushing the limits of human ingenuity requires that you rely on your collective experience and your fellow engineers every step of the way. And when it comes time to show off your hard work, we like to do it BIG!
For some space to be undeniably yours with an equivalent level of engineering quality, click button below to see our Hero in action.
Due to the drastic trend on the development of this industry, we are welcoming those who are interested to know deeper on this knowledge theoretically and practically by joining our training program as below.
Our Training Academy has been established since 1999 and till today we have trained more than 300 candidates with various background. In 2005, we are the first company appointed as accredited training partner for Mobius Institute.
In linear with Industry 4.0 evolution, the Basic Awareness on Machine Condition Monitoring course is intended for any team who has decided to improve their machine performance and reliability. The aim of this course is to provide coverage from top floor (management team) to shop floor (technical team) on this great condition monitoring program.
We can customize the training program based on the client plant & needs.
In 3 days, this course will covered the fundamental of CM, basic analysis, learning the equipment technology and practical session for more understanding.
Mobius Institute is ISO/IEC 17024 and ISO 18436-1 accredited, meaning that you are assured that your certification meets the highest global standards, and our training teaches you everything you need to know according to the ISO 18436 standard for vibration analyst training. There is no more highly regarded training & certification available.
Our training covers all of the essential procedures and is filled with valuable tips and tricks, one of the greatest benefits is that our training will help you understand the complication. With 3D animations that demonstrate procedures, explain how things work, and clarify confusing concepts.
Students will be provided with Certificate of Completion.
You may have a question(s) on our services or related to CBM. Here are lists of questions that commonly ask which may provide an insight for you. If you have a further questions, simply share your own topic to us using chat messages or email.
CM is known as Condition Monitoring which machine heath condition is monitor during running condition using several CM tools such as Thermography, Vibration Analyser, Ultrasound Detector, Partial Discharge etc. While CBM is known as a maintenance practice which apply machine rectification action based on findings from machine condition that detected through the above device. This also known as Predictive Maintenance which merely called as PdM.
Many manufacture agreed that majorly contribution of bearing failure was due to lubrication. To provide an adequate lubrication is very challenging. There is potential of over greased or lack of greased. Therefore, many established plant has found Ultrasound as best tools to be used for greasing. Lubrication program also is one of the lack maintenance practice being apply.
They are many factors could contribute to this situation. Mainly, the biggest pitfall was due to lack of direction or involvement from CM analyst throughout the purchasing process until commissioning. Several potential defects could occur on machine such as structure resonance, shaft sag due to transportation, false brinelling bearing, skid deflection and many more.
There are 4 Big faults commonly exist in machine which are Imbalance, Misalignment, Looseness and Resonance. Measuring vibration and study through time waveform and spectrum would be able to distinguish between these four elements. In fact, Phase analysis is required for better visualization of each fault.
Not all the time. Many overhaul activities would introduce to machine back to the nature of bathtub (infant mortality) curve segment. Which meaning the overhaul equipment will have a high tendency of failure at the beginning (start-up operation). This study is discovered by Nolan and Heap that found 68% of equipment would have this kind of nature.
The best way to apply the CBM program in your plant is by identifying the major / critical equipment of your plant. Then, select the appropriate CBM tools to be used for monitoring those equipment.
In general, if a machine is involved with high-speed rotational force, select vibration & oil analysis. If a machine is designed with slow-speed rotational force, select ultrasound & oil analysis. If a machine is involved with high thermal energy and electrical components, select Infrafred Thermography.
Begin with less number of equipment and increase quantity of equipment progressively. Choose monthly routine visit for less critical and twice a month for critical equipment. The main element prior to start a program is TRAINING. Most of us agreed by having adequate training you will be able to recognize the level of priority required for each equipment in your plant.
Having a mentor or engaged with third party is one of the common steps to succeed with CBM program.
