Condition monitoring

Features

With systematic monitoring of condition parameters, you are able to detect problems, follow-up on any abnormal symptoms, and track trends of failure processes. The necessary parameters are acquired using mechanical, electrical, and other measurement methods. This data is gathered during site visits with hand-held devices, or remotely using on-line data measured with fixed sensors and systems installed in your equipment.

Measurement and follow-up parameters are defined based on the technical characteristics of the machine and its probable failures. Metso expert analysts provide detailed analyses that provide information for the diagnosis, prognosis, and the required maintenance actions. In addition, we offer inspections during operation and shutdown to support condition monitoring measurements and the elimination of conditions promoting failures.
