PdM Solutions: Technology
VibrAlign partners with DLI Engineering to provide the proven technology
tools behind PdM Solutions. DLI has always focused on providing better
solutions through better engineering. Many innovative features provide
unique benefits to PdM Solutions clients. Is it rugged enough for
your facility? You bet, just ask DLI’s toughest customer—the
US Navy.
Benefits:
- Multi-channel Data Collectors: All the data collectors we use
are multi-channel instruments. Basically, this means we can collect
more complete data sets without taking more time to do it.
- Triaxial Sensors: Multi channel instruments allow use of
triaxial sensor. Again, using a triaxial sensor we can get a more
complete picture of a machines health. Anytime we collect data
it is ideal to get some horizontal, vertical, and axial information.
Trouble is, most people don’t take the time to do that because
they use a single axis machine.
- ALERT Software: On our end, ExpertALERT
is our analysts’ tool
of choice. With unique statistical alarms, the analyst immediately
identifies which machines need his attention. At the client’s
end we provide a “read only” version of ALERT called
ViewALERT. ViewALERT gives the manager access to the history of
his machines. All data, trends, reports, even some of the analysis
tools are available to electronically. See ViewALERT screenshots,
below. Click here for a ViewALERT brochure (PDF).
- Replication: PdM Solutions would not be as easy without replication. In the
past, transferring vibration data meant slow modem uploads or copying
entire databases. Replication streamlines data transfer by synchronizing
new information through a secure FTP site. Replication is fast
and as easy as two mouse clicks.
- Computer Based Training—iLearn
Interactive: iLearn is provided with most PdM Solutions
programs. It is an excellent resource for training technicians
and management. iLearn Brochure

 Permanently
Installed Data Collector Pads: Quality data is key to success in
vibration analysis. That’s why we take the extra
time to epoxy permanent brass pads at each data collection point—they
offer several advantages:
- Epoxied pads provide better frequency response
than traditional magnetic sensors
- Consistent repeatable data always
collected from the same spot
- Notch on pad ensures correct orientation
of sensor
- Notched pad allows use of triaxial sensor that collects
a complete set of data
- Ease of use—training on proper data
collection is easily learned without concerns for repeatability
and quality.
