That’s one small step for Orbits,…
That’s one small step for Orbits, one giant leap for your uptime! What do we do? We diagnose aberrant machine behavior on a system-level, assess its root cause and define the applicable proactive solution. What is the effort? On average, we solve our cases within 7 hours. This includes measuring, analyzing and reporting. Additionally, the […]
There’s nothing better than meeting peers, sharing best practices, and discussing nowadays challenges!
There’s nothing better than meeting peers, sharing best practices, and discussing challenges! Last week, we have visited the EASA E&W Chapter Convention 2022 in Athens. Can we say that we where blown away? It was the first EASA conference we have attended since we became member last year and we where directly absorbed by this […]
You are always one ride away from a good mood!
You are always one ride away from a good mood! Machinery Diagnostics on the bike? Or just having some fun with friends?Keeping our minds fresh and focussed can only be done with some healthy variety of exercise. That’s why last week, we have organized a cycling day together with our friends. Although we needed to […]
European Space Association or Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA)?
European Space Agency? No! Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA) No, Orbits is not an aerospace company. We deal with what happens on this planet. How? By providing insights to our customers on their failing machinery. One of our techniques is Electrical Signature Analysis. By measuring voltage and currents we can: … fully analyze the power quality […]
Back to school!
Back to school! Suit up and fill your lunchbox. The first-day-of-school photos are coming! At Orbits we are also passionate about transferring knowledge and helping you to diagnose your machine towards the root cause! And make it a September to remember! Do you want to know more what Orbits can mean for your company. I’m […]
Operational Deflection what???
Operational Deflection what??? Ever wondered why your machine frame is vibrating and causing damage while all the static calculations where performed meticulously? It may sound as food for specialists or academics, but mapping the behavior of this structure through ‘Operational Deflection Shape Analysis’ can help you out. During this training day, we will provide a […]
Vibrations, kill them on sight!
Vibrations, kill them on sight… Usually, we tend to minimize asset vibrations to reduce component fatigue following the applicable ISO standard. However, an increase of stationary vibrations actually results in a decrease of bearing forces when the acting force is located on the rotor. This is why we sometimes accept some asset positions to vibrate […]
Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is to relax…
Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is to relax… Unexpected breakdowns and consequential damage do not only have financial repercussions but also human. Overtime, stress and frustration are unwanted in a productive work environment. Although our machines are more and more stuffed with sensors and a huge amount of data is created, you […]
What’s in a name?
What’s in a name? Motor Current Signature Analysis or Electrical Signature Analysis, what’s the difference? In short, MCSA is performed with only one current probe and a data collector such as your vibration tool. With proper training, you can catch a lot of failure modes! In ESA, the three phased voltages and currents are synchronously […]
Condition Based Maintenance is about people!
Condition Based Maintenance is about people! This week, we have visited ‘The CBM + Reliability Connect Live Training Conference Europe 2022’. And we have learned! In one of the first post corona conferences we have met passionate and knowledgeable people. These people will ensure a reliable future! We’ve especially learned that Condition Based Maintenance is not […]
