Motion Amplification
and Optical Vibration
The Motion Amplification and Optical Vibration System is a powerful diagnostic tool that allows maintenance and engineering personnel to visually see the issues with their equipment. This is the foundation of this technology. Where vibration analysis can narrow down a fault to an area, this technology can show you a fault down to a specific component (motor hold-down bolts, cracked welds on a mounting structure, lack of rigidity, or resonance condition in piping).
ATS will provide the technology and a reliability consultant to operate it. It is recommended that the facility provide a technician to help ATS move the motion capture equipment between units and to be an interface with production, in case units need to be stopped or started.
