Condition Monitoring
What is Condition Monitoring?
Condition Monitoring is a method to determine the condition of machines internal components such as bearings and gears whilst the machine is operating.
NSK CMS Process
1. An initial survey using a scoring system to assess each machine and its suitability for CMS.
2. Modelling of the machinery on the NSK analysis software which determines the optimum monitoring points on the equipment.
3. Two measurement options:
- Spot analysis – this is a one off measurement which will give an indication of the machine condition at that time.
- Periodic analysis – this is a regular measurement service that allows trends of the machine condition and a good prediction of machinery life allowing “predictive maintenance”.
4. Analysis and Reporting using the analysis software. An initial scan will grade each machine with a simple traffic light system (Healthmap). Machines that are highlighted “Orange” or “Red” are analysed in more detail using a specific analysing module.
