The Vibration Institute will conduct its 2009 National Technical
Training Symposium (33rd Annual Meeting) in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania from June
23 through June 26 at Hilton Harrisburg. The purpose of the Symposium
is to provide specific training in practical vibration technology.
Program
Tuesday, June 23
The 2009 National Technical Training Symposium empathizes using
basic and advanced techniques to achieve an outstanding predictive
maintenance program. Identification, analysis, and correction
techniques including balancing and alignment are topics of interest.
Techniques used in vibration analysis, basic rotor dynamics,
operating deflection shapes, time waveform analysis, and practical
and advanced signal analysis are stressed.
Vendors will exhibit equipment for conducting condition-based
monitoring using vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis,
and ultrasound. The exhibits
provide registrants an overview of the technology available for the
effective operation of a predictive maintenance program.
Four-Day Course:
Basic Machinery Vibrations (BMV) - June 23-26, 2009
Registrants for BMV are welcome at the Symposium lunches, exhibits,
the social hour, and sessions. Content of the BMV course
includes basic vibration analysis, data collection, fault analysis,
condition evaluation, machine testing, and basic balancing.
Participants receive the book, Basic Machinery Vibrations,
and a workbook with examples of solutions to selected questions as
well as more than 100 problems for participants to solve. The
BMV course contains, at a minimum, the required material for the
Category II examination for Vibration Analyst that will be given on
Saturday.
One-Day Courses:
Time Waveform Analysis
Instructor: Nelson L. Baxter
This one-day training session on time waveform analysis features
instruction on analyzing time waveforms to diagnose machines and
gain information on their condition. Obtaining and analyzing
spectra to maximize the use of field data are reviewed. The
goal of the lectures is to provide understanding of the procedures
involved in setting up and analyzing vibration data.
Measurement and Analysis of Rotor Vibrations
Instructors: Malcolm E. Leader, William T. Pryor, and Bruce
Weathersby
Topics included in this one-day training session on the
measurement and analysis of rotor vibration are the use of
non-contacting displacement probes, transient analysis, orbital
waveforms, and spectral analysis of rotor data. National and
International shaft vibration standards are summarized.
Unusual rotor-dynamic case histories are described.
- Proximity Probes 101: the basics of protecting rotating
equipment with non-contacting proximity probes
- An introduction to steady-state data analysis for
sleeve-bearing machines
- Shaft vibration standards
- Rotor-dynamics case histories
