WHAT IS A CONDITION MONITORING SYSTEM (CMS) ?
Condition monitoring is the process of monitoring the parameters of condition in machinery, such that a
significant change is indicative of a developing failure.
By using the right condition monitoring system and vibration analysis equipment, you can identify any changes
in the critical parameters of the machinery, such as:
Vibration
Temperature
Speed
You can better schedule maintenance or other actions to be taken to avoid the consequences of failure,
before the failure occurs.
HOW DOES A CMS HELP?
Such predictive maintenance which are performed only when warranted prevents machine failure
and offer
higher cost savings over routine time-based preventive maintenance.
Serviceable machinery includes rotating machines such as turbines and stationary plant such as boilers and
heat exchangers.
