The CBM Conference USA is the world’s most anticipated vibration analysis and condition monitoring conference. First held in Orlando, Florida in 2016 as IMVAC, the conference has grown to be the largest and most important condition monitoring conference on the planet. If you work in one of the condition monitoring industries and live in the USA (or anywhere else for that matter) this is the only conference you need to attend this year. Find out more about what the CBM Conference USA is and how it works below or go straight to the registration page to book your ticket today.

What is the CBM Conference USA?

The CBM Conference is North America’s most highly regarded CBM event that is completely dedicated to the machine condition monitoring industry. Because the industry is so diverse and segregated, we bring all of the industry subsets together under one roof. This includes:

Over three to five days, the CBM Conference USA attendees will get the opportunity to hear from the industry’s biggest names and thought leaders, discover new technology and learn strategies that they can start implementing in their business as soon as they get home. The entire conference is hosted in the Orlando Florida B Resort and Spa hotel that is located within Walt Disney World. This makes the CBM Conference not only a fantastic place to upgrade your industry knowledge and expand your network, but also to discover one of the best places on earth.


Who should consider attending the CBM Conference USA?

If you work in the vibration analysis and condition monitoring industries, you should absolutely consider attending the CBM Conference USA. This is especially true if you live in the States, but we also welcome attendees from all over the globe. If there’s one condition monitoring conference you are thinking of attending this year, make it the CBM Conference USA. Both technical and managerial positions will find value at our conference. And returners will find it just as valuable as first-time attendees.

Why should you attend the CBM Conference USA?

There are many reasons why our guests choose to attend the CBM Conference USA. Here are some of the most popular:

  1. This is the largest and best vibration analysis and condition monitoring conference in the world. Only at our series of conferences can you find the level of industry insight that you need to improve the way that you work, and the CBM Conference USA is the biggest of them all.

  4. Onsite test rig that allows you to participate in various presentations that allow you to experience and diagnosis real life faults.
  5. You’ll hear from the biggest names and the brightest minds in the industry. This could be people like our founder, Jason Tranter, who will discuss new approaches and the new challenges facing our industry.
  6. Over the course of the three to five days, you’ll discover new things about the industry (techniques, tools, approaches) that you can implement back at home to change the way in which you and your company do business.

You shouldn’t need any more reasons than this. Head on over to the registration page to book your ticket today.

How to convince your boss to let you attend the CBM Conference USA

If we have convinced you to attend the CBM Conference USA, the next step is for you to convince your boss. Some may be lucky in that their bosses instantly understand the value that a conference like the CBM Conference USA can bring. Others may need a bit of convincing. We recommend using the following reasons to convince your boss:

The CBM Conference USA lets you meet and greet industry leaders

Working in our industries you don’t get many opportunities to meet vibration analysis and condition monitoring experts. That’s why it is so important to grab them when they come around. At the CBM Conference USA we make huge efforts to book the biggest names in the industry for our speaking engagements. The names don’t get bigger than here. But you don’t just get the opportunity to hear them at the CBM Conference USA, you also get the chance to meet and greet them throughout the event over refreshments, lunch and dinner.

CBM Conference USA lets you grow and cultivate your network

In this industry, it is important to grow your network to increase your knowledge and improve your business. Meeting like-minded professionals isn’t that easy. In fact, there’s only one place to really do it. And that is at the CBM Conference USA. Only here do we bring the best and brightest from our industry together so that you can make friends, trade ideas and grow your businesses together.

CBM Conference USA helps you to stay ahead of the curve

Using the best equipment and the latest techniques is essential to doing a good job. That’s why it is so important to expand your knowledge and make sure that you are up to date on the latest trends. For many, the simplest way to do this is to attend the CBM Conference USA. Nowhere else (apart from our other conferences) do vibration analysis and condition monitoring professionals get to learn about everything new in their industry over the course of just a few short days. What you learn at the CBM Conference USA could change your business for good.

Still need help convincing your boss? We have the tools you need

If the above points weren’t enough to convince your boss, we provide you with helpful worksheets and templates that are sure to get the job done. Download them now on our dedicated page.

Vibration Analysis

Vibration Analysis is an excellent technique to identify machine faults through non-destructive testing. Variations in the narrowband vibration spectra can identify a wide range of fault conditions, the severity, and the change over time.
Or thermal imaging, is an affordable, easy to use technology that provides an image where pixel color is related to temperature. It can be used to detect electrical, process & mechanical faults.

Thermography

Oil Analysis & Wear Particle

Also known as ferrography, WPA is the microscopic study of wear-related particles suspended in lubricating oil & grease. Identification of particle shape and material type, can provide a very clear and early indication of specific faults.
Utilizing motor current measurements, and optionally voltage measurements it is possible to detect a range of faults in the supply voltage, in the stator, rotor, and termination box.

Motor Testing

Ultrasound

When friction (wear), turbulence and impacts occur, sounds are generated at frequencies above our hearing range. The ultrasound tools can detect these sounds in mechanical, electrical, and process applications.
Key to the life of bearings and gears, and thus the reliability of the machine. If the oil or grease is clean, dry, has the correct chemistry & is applied in the correct volume, those components will deliver trouble-free operation.

Lubrication

Alignment & Balancing

If the coupled-shafts are “collinear” (have no offset or angle between them) then the load on the shafts, coupling, seals, and bearings will be greatly reduced, thus maximizing their life.
If the rotor is properly balanced, the centrifugal forces will be kept to a minimum, and the machine and structure will suffer less stress and strain as a result, thus improving reliability.
