Partnership with infrared thermography service provider Predictive Service Corporation adds valuable predictive tool to its suite of maintenance services
MILWAUKEE, April 21, 2005 — The addition of infrared thermography data collection and analysis to the Rockwell Automation suite of condition-based maintenance services gives manufacturers an effective way to better predict equipment failure, protect production assets and boost equipment reliability. The new service offering is the result of a Rockwell Automation alliance with infrared thermography service provider Predictive Service Corporation and complements its existing vibration and oil analysis capabilities.
Infrared thermography is a non-invasive condition-monitoring technology that monitors temperatures and thermal patterns while equipment is online and running full load. This technique can be used on a wide variety of equipment, including pumps, motors, bearings, pulleys, fans, gears, drives and conveyors to help manufacturers predict equipment failure and plan corrective action before a costly shutdown, equipment damage or personal injury occurs.
“While no single condition-monitoring technology can provide a complete picture of an asset’s health, infrared technology is a valuable tool in an organization’s strategy to combat downtime,” said Ralph DeLisio, business manager, Integrated Condition Monitoring, Rockwell Automation. “When thermography is combined with vibration and oil analysis as part of an overall predictive maintenance strategy, these tools allow manufacturers to efficiently and accurately detect problems before production is impacted, while providing valuable insight into the health of their electrical and mechanical assets.”
Tailored to the unique needs of each customer — single facilities to corporate-wide, multiplant operations, Rockwell Automation engineering and maintenance services are designed to offer an integrated approach to strategic maintenance that blends the appropriate predictive, preventive and reactive activities for optimum return on investment. The addition of thermography to the Rockwell Automation portfolio of engineering and maintenance services provides users with a single point of contact for predictive maintenance services and an integrated view of electrical and mechanical asset health.
