Thermography-Predictive Maintenance


 

In engineering you can have the best skilled trained staff available, providing the best service possible but what you can’t plan for is the unseen. A collapsed bearing, burnt out electric motor, faulty gearboxes etc the list is endless. These can all contribute to down time periods that in turn can lead to expensive repairs, lost orders or even lost customers.

With tools such as Thermal Imaging (Thermography) we can detect these hidden problems before they result in critical failures. This is a Predictive Maintenance technique know as Condition Monitoring, and by combining it with traditional maintenance services we can:

  • Slash plant downtime

  • Reduce the cost of failure

  • Increase equipment lifetime

  • Reduce the cost of traditional scheduled maintenance

  • Improve the reliability of plant equipment

  • Help Engineers diagnose complex problems.

Example

A breaker showing a high-resistance fault.

A trip with an over-heating connection.

A drive motor running hot due to fan failure.

A bering failure on a belt merge.

A belt roller that’s developing bearing problems.

A terminal with an electrical fault.


AMH offers a comprehensive inspection service that can be matched to suit your needs as a company. We use some of the most sophisticated Infra Red Cameras on the market, and our Thermographers are certified through the world-recognised Infa Red Training Centre (ITC).


A powerful Thermal Database of different equipment backs up our years of experience in the maintenance industry. This lets us rapidly identify and report on potential failures to get you the information you need quickly and reliably.


Prevention is always better then cure.
