Why Rotating Machinery Analysis?
Rotating Machinery can cause issues which can be detrimental to the structures in which the machinery is housed and the machinery itself. By determining the dynamic response of a system Xi can design alterations to remove problematic vibrations and remove the risk of expensive repair and maintenance operations later in the component life cycle.
Improving design and reducing downtime to prevent failure and loss of production
Our team of specialised engineers have over 30 years of experience in measurement and the modelling of dynamic systems and have specified many design solutions and alterations for our clients from small to large scale industrial applications.
By determining the dynamic response of a system we can design alterations to remove problematic vibrations and reduce the risk of expensive repair and maintenance operations later in the component life cycle.
Our specialist measurement equipment and skills in simulation mean that we can assess the dynamics of an entire system which allows us to non-invasively diagnose, assess and test solutions to your rotating machinery challenges.
We can expand on the skills of your teams and take your existing monitoring data and performance information to identify trends and behaviours that can be used to improve the performance and lifetime of your machinery.
Our team has specialist tickets that allow us to work in high risk industrial areas. Once our RAMS, or Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety, capabilities have been approved and signed off by your health and safety team, we are able to quickly measure, diagnose and provide options for overcoming your technical challenges.
Rotating Machinery Analysis In Application
Gearbox Drive Train Analysis
By determining the dynamic response of a system, Xi can design alterations to remove problematic vibrations and remove the risk of expensive repair and maintenance operations later in the component life cycle.
Isolation Specification and Design
Xi work with a range of suppliers allowing us to impartially design and specify the most effective isolation possible
Orbital Analysis
Orbital analysis is often used during Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT tests) to determine whether a machine is operating within defined criteria.
Condition Monitoring
Condition monitoring is a process to monitor the health of machinery or equipment
Technologies used in Rotating Machinery Analysis
Frequency Response and Modal Analysis
Knowing the relationship and modal shape of the vibration allows mitigation solutions to be proposed and designed.
Finite Element Analysis
Xi Engineering Consultants can measure and model problems with rotating machinery, providing solutions for issues related to rotational and structural dynamics.
Operational Deflection Shape
ODS analysis is a powerful modal testing technique to help visualise the motion associated with vibration.
Rotational Dynamics
Rotating machinery analysis is vital in the process of maintaining rotational components
Time Waveform and Waterfall Analysis
Through a series of both time and frequency domain analysis Xi's team can identify the characteristics of dynamics and structural related issues
