Services

Industrial condition monitoring, diagnostics and field services.

LBS Reliability Services builds practical machinery-monitoring programs around the equipment, operating conditions and maintenance needs of each facility.

Primary service

Vibration Analysis & Condition Monitoring

Scheduled route data collection is at the core of LBS's work. Programs can be developed for new customers or integrated with an existing condition-monitoring program.

Routine monitoring and machinery analysis

Monthly, bi-monthly and quarterly vibration routes
FFT spectrum, trend and time-waveform analysis
Overall velocity, acceleration and displacement measurements
High-frequency PeakVue and Spike Energy measurements for early fault detection
Running-speed, harmonic, sideband, bearing-frequency and gear-mesh analysis
Analysis of virtually all types of industrial machinery
Written condition reports with machinery status, history and maintenance recommendations
On-site investigation and follow-up when elevated or unusual readings are identified

How the program works

From measurement to maintenance decision.

LBS combines repeatable field collection with experienced analysis and direct communication.

CollectAcquire repeatable route and diagnostic measurements.

AnalyzeReview trends, spectra, waveforms and high-frequency data.

DiagnoseRelate the data to machine design, speed and operating condition.

ReportDocument condition, history and practical recommendations.

Follow UpDiscuss findings and investigate significant changes when needed.

Supporting services

Additional capabilities when the machinery needs more.

Diagnostic Call-Outs

Focused troubleshooting when a machine develops a new vibration, noise, process problem or other condition requiring additional analysis.

Dynamic Field Balancing

On-site dynamic balancing of fans, impellers, rotors and other rotating equipment, with vibration measurements used to determine the correction and verify the final result.

Laser Shaft Alignment

Precision shaft-alignment services for coupled rotating machinery when alignment correction is required.

Wireless Condition Monitoring

Vendor-neutral wireless monitoring for assets that benefit from more frequent measurement, remote access or monitoring between conventional routes.

Training & Program Development

Vibration-program setup plus practical instruction in data collection, vibration understanding and analysis, balancing and laser alignment.

Additional Reliability Services

Thermography and oil-analysis support can complement machinery condition assessment where appropriate to the application and customer program.
