Description
M&B’s 4-day Vibration Analyst – Level 1 seminar
combines lectures & workshops to provide the essential training for the
beginning stages of any analyst’s Predictive Maintenance (PdM) or
Reliability efforts. Attendees are instructed in data collection, analysis
theory and identifying machinery faults. And the course follows
ISO 18436 guidelines for Vibration Analyst Level 1 for training and
certification (ISO 18436.2, Condition Monitoring and Diagnostics of Machines
- Requirements for Training and Certification of Personnel - Part 2:
Vibration Condition Monitoring and Diagnostics).
This course does not focus on particular
hardware or software offerings. We teach concepts applicable
to both diagnostic systems and portable data collectors, and help highlight
relevant analysis limitations. Workshops provide diagnostic practice using
either machinery simulators or historical data.
An optional Level 1 Certification Examination is given on the last day of
the seminar for those attendees seeking a recognized certification.
