Machinery diagnostic services
Expert engineering support to optimize the performanceof rotating and reciprocating machinery
Our global team of experienced field engineers provides acomprehensive range of machinery diagnostic services (MDS)
for rotating and reciprocating machinery—regardless of original
equipment manufacturer.

Capabilities include:• Rotating and reciprocating machinery diagnostics• Startup and turnaround assistance• Condition monitoring system optimization• Field and shop rotor balancing• Rotordynamic modeling• Machinery failure analysis• Structural analysis: operational deflection shape (ODS)
analysis using vibration measurements and Optical ODS using
optical image amplification, modal analysis (impact tests)• Specification consulting• Torsional vibration measurement and analysis• Optical ODS• Magnetic bearings vibration analysis• Electrical machinery diagnostics• Diagnostics training

Extensive experience

With over 18,000 successful MDS projects completed since 1972,
our people have worked on every brand and type of rotating andreciprocating equipment there is. Our reputation is built on fast
turnarounds and reliable solutions no matter who manufactured,
installed, maintained, or operated the machinery.
We keep an extensive archive of all project results so lessons learnedon one project can benefit others with similar machine problems. On
top of that, our engineers and technicians around the world regularly
collaborate in real time on current projects, which ensures that our
deepest knowledge and expertise are brought to bear on each newchallenge, no matter where the machinery is located.

We use data acquisition and analysis tools specificallydesigned to enable remote access. Depending on your needs
and installed IT infrastructure, remote services can range from
simple digital transfer of appropriate data, to full connectivityof your site systems with our remote monitoring centers. For
startup commissioning and turnaround assistance, many of
our support services can be performed remotely to increase
speed and reduce onsite personnel costs.

Strategic locations

We have permanent engineering teams in the principal
industrial centers of 20 countries around the world. For onsite assistance, this minimizes travel costs, and maximizes
response speed. When remote support is needed, you canconnect with an experienced professional who speaks yourlanguage, in your time zone.

With 164 MDS engineers around the world, a local team can bequickly deployed to your site, and your remote service calls can berouted to an expert in your time zone who speaks your language.

Proven methodology

Our four decades of MDS experience is rooted in fundamental
engineering principles. Our proven methodology has
demonstrated its efficacy in thousands of successfulprojects, and every one of our new field engineers
receives in-depth training in the method. It can beapplied consistently and repeatedly across our entire MDS
organization—ensuring that you’ll receive the same highquality service, no matter where you are.

Actionable information

Although we typically collect gigabytes of machine data
during the course of our diagnostic services, we understandthat data is meaningless on its own. Our professionally
written, clear, and concise reports communicate meaningful
information—summarizing findings, conclusions, andrecommendations that are both actionable and appropriate
for your situation.
