  • Welcome and introduction.
  • Maintenance strategies (corrective, systematic, conditional, proactive).
  • Machine monitoring techniques (vibrations, oil analysis, ultrasound, thermography, etc.).
  • Basic concepts of vibration (vocabulary and physical quantities).
  • Vibration analysis (periodic motion, harmonics, bands lateral)
  • Validation of acquisitions.
  • Sensors and measurement chains (type of sensors, sensor mounting, measurement points).
  • Rounds and databases.
  • Signal processing (spectral analysis), introduction to filtering, averaging, recommended parameters.
  • Limits and alarms.
  • Diagnosis of first-level faults (unbalance, misalignment).
  • Knowledge of mechanical equipment (motors, pumps, fans, gearboxes, etc.).
  • Case studies illustrated by the analysis of signals from databases collected on machines.

 

Option: Taking the certification exam. An ID card is required.

Cetim and Fluke are the French training partners certified by Mobius Institute.

For virtual classroom sessions

Principle

  • Online training is delivered “live” by a trainer who is present at all times. Trainers have received specific training in facilitating a virtual classroom. They offer frequent interactions, exercises, and practical exchanges to encourage participant engagement and skill development.
  • The facilitator uses Classilio Via or Teams software, and group sizes are generally 6 to 8 participants.
  • The connection link to the virtual classroom will be sent to you a few days before the start of the training.

Equipment Required

  • A computer (Mac, PC) or tablet, preferably equipped with a webcam, microphone, speaker, or preferably a headset.
  • An internet connection (ADSL, fiber optic – wired recommended) allowing the use of voice and video (make sure that the web access you will be using allows video connections, including that the ports are not blocked by your server).
  • A valid email address that can be used during the session.
  • A direct phone line or mobile number so you can be reached quickly during the session in case of technical issues.
