How Is Azima DLI's Methodology Different - Azima DLI Resource Center Home

The document discusses Azima DLI's methodology for condition-based maintenance monitoring. It uses triaxial sensors to collect vibration data from machines under standard operating conditions of maximum load and steady speed. The data is analyzed using Azima's ExpertALERT software and automated diagnostic system, which helps technicians screen and extract features from the data and apply logical rules for diagnosis. While it can assist, the system is not meant to replace trained analysts for complex issues. Key aspects of the methodology include collecting repeatable data under standard test conditions and using triaxial clusters mounted rigidly to housings to ensure high quality vibration measurements.

How is Azima DLI's methodology different?

Summary:

This section will discuss the methods used by the Azima DLI program.  This includes collection of data using triaxial
sensors and distributed reporting.

Objectives:

Identifying the key elements for a successful CBM program.

Content:

The Azima DLI methodology is modeled using well documented principals of narrow band vibration analysis and
accurate automated diagnostics depends on many variables. The primary advantage of using Azima DLI's
ExpertALERT software and the Expert Automated Diagnostic System (EADS) is to assist the engineer with screening,
feature extraction, and consistent application of logical rules. It is important to point out that EADS will never replace
a well-trained analyst required to troubleshoot complex problems. The true benefit is that EADS will take care of most
of the time consuming routine steps and therefore free up the engineer to focus on the more complex problems.  

Sect 1 - Keys to Successful CBM


 

Here are a few items fundamental to the methodology:

Standard Test Operating Conditions 

EADS operates on vibration measurements made while a machine is operating at steady state speed and load.
Run-ups, coast-downs, cross channel tests, orbits, phase measurements, and the like are not included; however
most of these can be accomplished with Azima DLI data collectors. The optimum test state has the machine
operating at its maximum load and speed. It is also essential that the standard test condition be easily achievable
and repeatable. Machines with variable frequency drives (VFD), or driven components capable of variable load, can
create a challenge. For this reason, it is essential that the engineer setting up the Expert System has a good
understanding of the system and all the process dynamics affected by the machine.

Triaxial Vibration Data

The standard sensor is a cluster of three general purpose accelerometers (100mv/g). The cluster is stud mounted
to a stainless pad rigidly attached to a bearing casing, and provides superb measurement repeat-ability as well as
excellent high frequency response. History has shown that collecting vibration in three orthogonal axes from a
single point gives the analyst enough data to accurately diagnose most vibration problems. Magnetically mounting
a triax cluster can fall short in terms of repeat ability and high frequency response for the two transverse axes in
the cluster. This is especially true if a different person is collecting data each time and if the magnet is being stuck
onto a painted or rough surface. The notched attachment pad solves this problem. A barcode label fixed to the
machine near each pad is used to trigger data collection within the portable collector. This helps to eliminate
human error associated with choosing an incorrect measurement location during data collection.
