Mechanical Infrared Thermography

Theory:

As mechanical devices operate, heat is generated. Forces such as friction, misalignment and improper belt tension cause excessive heating.

Where Can Be Applied ?

• motors
• rotating equipment
• steam traps
• refractory
• and tank product levels, among others.

What Can Be Detected ?

• misalignment of coupled equipment
• over/under lubrication of bearings
• over/under tension of belted systems
• excessive friction
• defective Equipment

Benefits:

• quickly locate misaligned coupled equipment
• increase equipment reliability and life
• increase production and efficiency while saving energy
• increase quality of product
• minimize downtime by planning the required manpower and materials before shutdown
• improve worker productivity and morale by correcting potential problems proactively
