Vibration analysis in a CBM program is all about looking for change. If you have your alarms set up correctly, your software can do most of the work for you. So why is it that most people either do not have their vibration alarms set up or are not confident their alarms are set correctly? This presentation will review the common alarm types, it will explain a process to generate and fine tune these alarms and will point out the limitations of the current systems with an eye towards the future. If you are thinking of purchasing a new system this will provide some tips about what to look for.
