Our Core Preventative Maintenance Services

Vibration Analysis

Our vibration analysis program uses trendable machine signatures to catch faults early—before they turn into downtime. By monitoring changes over time, we identify issues like imbalance, misalignment, looseness, and bearing wear so you can plan repairs instead of reacting to failures.

Vibration analysis helps you detect:

  • Imbalance

  • Misalignment

  • Bearing wear

  • Resonance

Deliverables include: severity grading, trend reports, and actionable recommendations. Service can be scheduled monthly, quarterly, bi-annually, or annually.

Infrared Thermography

Non-contact thermal imaging reveals electrical and mechanical hot spots that aren’t visible during routine checks. We scan motors, panels, MCCs, drives, and bearings to pinpoint overheating, phase imbalance, loose connections, insulation breakdown, and cooling issues.

Infrared inspections help identify:

  • Electrical hot spots

  • Overloading

  • Phase imbalance

  • Loose or oxidized connections

  • Insulation breakdown and cooling issues

Reports include thermal images, problem severity, and prioritized recommendations. Service can be scheduled monthly, quarterly, bi-annually, or annually.
