Rocky Mount Electric Motor utilizes motion amplification with vibration analysis to discover issues that are impossible to see during normal motor operation. This technology works to keep your factory floor from grinding to a halt. Our service uses state-of-the-art predictive technology, the Iris M Camera, which enables us to see problems before they become production problems. Here is a great example of what motion amplification shows us for a motor suspected of problems with vibration while running:

Motion amplification and vibration analysis find problems with ease.

Motion amplification works alongside vibration analysis to extend the life of your motor. It measures deflection, displacement, movement, and vibration that can’t be detected by conventional methods. By combining video camera technology with an enhanced processing algorithm, this service sees your equipment differently to reveal persistent, hidden issues. This dramatically reduces or outright eliminates downtime.

Because you cannot see the problems described above with the naked eye, you must use methods such as motion amplification to address the issue. For many, electric motor maintenance happens once obvious changes in operation occur. But, even if your system doesn’t face a major fault, problems may still linger within the system as it runs that you can’t normally see. We offer motion amplification as a better way to discover any problems so you can always take better care of your overall system. You can see some examples of problems that would normally go unseen here:

What You Gain

Improved Accuracy: Motion amplification provides a visual representation of vibrations and movements, which can be more intuitive and easier to analyze compared to raw data from sensors. This can lead to more accurate diagnoses and better-informed maintenance decisions.

Enhanced Diagnostic Capability: This process amplifies small, often imperceptible vibrations or movements, motion amplification allows for the detection of issues that might be missed with traditional diagnostic methods. This helps in identifying problems like misalignments, imbalance, or mechanical faults early on.

Cost Efficiency: By identifying potential issues before they escalate, motion amplification can reduce repair costs and avoid the need for more extensive and expensive repairs. It also helps in optimizing maintenance schedules, leading to cost savings in the long run.

Enhanced Troubleshooting: The visual nature of motion amplification helps in pinpointing the exact source of problems. This makes it easier for technicians to address specific issues, reducing guesswork and improving repair efficiency.
