How We Increase Machine Speed
These are the steps Vibration Engineers takes to reliably increase your machine speed and production. Learn More
- Speed and Reliability Assessment:
- Work with mill personnel to identify desired machine speed to meet production demands and identify previous issues affecting machine reliability.
- Testing Plan Development:
- Devise a testing plan to gather vibration data on-site, including transient vibration data over the desired machine speed range.
- Impact Testing:
- Perform impact testing on various machine components (rolls and frames) during a shut-down to determine machine resonance.
- Data Post-Processing:
- Post-process vibration data to determine component modification required to attain desired machine speed.
- Assessment Report:
- Provide a full report of the assessment with recommendations for a path forward to correction, including roll replacement, in-situ balancing, or frame bracing recommendations.
- Engineered Solutions:
- Provide an engineered solution for frame bracing and in-situ roll balancing.

What Our Clients are Saying
“We were experiencing repeated bearing failures on one of our press felt rolls due to high vibration at a specific machine speed. The Vibration Engineers team identified this issue as a resonant condition and designed a solution that now allows us to operate reliably at this speed.”
