Halloween Soup Challenge
ATS knows predictive maintenance is serious business—but we also know how to have fun! On Halloween, we held our annual soup challenge. This is a time when members of our staff bring in their favorite soups to share and we vote on a winner. It’s a great—and...
Using Motion Amplification to Identify Issues Not Seen with the Naked Eye
Making assumptions in vibration analysis can add a lot of time and wasted resources in finding the issue. Using Motion Amplification Technology can help uncover problems you might not otherwise see. High directional vibration in a large...
Predictive Maintenance is like Wellness
What is the most important piece of equipment in your facility? It’s not your most expensive machine or your most reliable machine or your newest machine. It is your people. That is why, here at ATS, we have a predictive maintenance program in place—for our staff!...
Case Study: Bearing Damage Due to Electrical Discharge
Like most industrial technologies, Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) units have grown increasingly affordable over the past few years and have become common in many facilities to better control processes. While there are many advantages to implementing VFDs on existing...
Baselines for Vibration Analysis
Every band relies on its bassline—that low, thumping sound that helps establish the rhythm, tempo and signature sound of a song. Your predictive maintenance (PdM) program should rely on a baseline, too—especially in the area of vibration analysis. Without a baseline,...
What’s With Bob? – Episode 5
