Machine Condition Monitoring




Machine Condition Monitoring

Bearings are critical components used extensively in numerous types of equipment & plant. If they fail without warning this can result in expensive repair & replacement costs.


Vibration Condition Monitoring is a valuable tool as part of a predictive maintenance strategy & is widely used for detecting & diagnosing equipment faults before they cause expensive machine failures.

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)


Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)
This is the term used to describe the examination of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure that they are safe to use. It's essential to carry out a visual examination as well as testing for each piece of Equipment/Appliance.  "The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989" requires that any electrical equipment that has the potential to cause injury is maintained in a safe condition. We at VMS provide PAT Testing, a visual inspection and compile a register of equipment on site, by keeping records and labelling to create a useful management tool for monitoring and reviewing.
