How We Correct Drive Motor Pedestals

These are the steps Vibration Engineers takes to diagnose drive motor pedestal issues and provide an engineered solution to correct the problem. Learn More

Problem Identification:
Work with mill personnel to identify current problems and assess past failures.
Testing Plan Development:
Devise a testing plan to gather vibration data on-site, including forced response testing or multichannel transient data collection.
Data Post-Processing:
Post-process vibration data for diagnosis of the problem.
Assessment Report:
Provide a full report of the assessment with recommendations for a path forward to correction.
Dimensional Assessment:
Perform dimensional assessment using a laser scanner to create a 3D model of the existing structure.
Conceptual Sketches:
Provide conceptual structural sketches of a proposed solution for review with the facility.
FEA & Modal Analysis:
Provide FEA & modal analysis of the proposed solution to ensure resonance is avoided.
