Ultranalysis Suite (UAS)In 2009, SDT, a pioneer in the ever evolving asset condition monitoring world, released UAS Version 1.001 Looking back over its 7-year history of upgrades and improvements, our bold decision to create the first fee based ultrasound software was the right one. There is a cost to be on the UAS platform; a cost that is surpasse...
The human brain is amazing. How many times have you opened a drawer that's full of all sorts of things and picked out the one thing that you opened the drawer to find?We do this frequently and think little of it. How much more difficult would that search be if you did not know what the object that you wanted to find actually looked like?Unfortunate...
Friction is all around us. Without it we would find it very difficult to run, walk, or even stand on our own two feet. We need friction to drive our cars and fly our aeroplanes; and we need friction for our motors to drive pumps. But when it comes to our plant machinery, friction is both friend and foe. If part of your job is greasing plant ma...
A combination of vibration and ultrasound techniques are in the same instrument. Problems are detected by static measurements while dynamic measurements are used when a further diagnosis is required.More than ever, production cost control affects the operations of the Maintenance Department. While its role still consists in knowing the health condi...
A modular acoustic air tightness testing platform has been developed for manufactured products such as valves, catheters, bags, vials, packing, bottles, syringes, cartridges and tanks. Bridgestone Aircraft Tire Europe uses it to check the air tightness of retread tires.Bridgestone aircraft Tire Europe was seeking a reliable method to check the air ...
Bearings are key components of rotating machines. The condition of bearings operated at high speeds can be monitored effectively using a number of techniques such as vibration detection. The condition monitoring of low-speed bearings requires a very different solution.Polysius, a subsidiary of ThyssenKrupp, and a market-leading engineering company ...
A thorough Failure Mode and Effect Analysis, FMEA, might well highlight failure modes related to increased friction, the presence of impacts or the presence of turbulence. These are three key parameters detectable by airborne and structure-borne ultrasound. Whether evaluating equipment reliability or establishing a strategy, ultrasound has an impor...
