Expert guidance on maximising plant uptime via new Preventive Maintenance portal
Fluke has developed a new Preventive Maintenance portal on its UK web site to provide expert guidance to industrial maintenance engineers and technicians on how to maximise plant uptime and minimise downtime. Just one of a series of ‘Solution Centers’ which contain a library of information and programs, the content will be frequently updated with new information.
The Fluke Preventive Maintenance portal provides advice on constant condition monitoring in order to maximise component life, track equipment wear trends and reduce downtime by identifying problems before they occur. There are examples of how Fluke tools, from precision analysers to troubleshooters, loggers and recorders, can help cut plant energy costs and minimise downtime and production stops.
A short video looks at the application of LaserSharp® Auto Focus thermal cameras and vibration meters to check the status of motors; the applications of visual infrared (IR) thermometers are explained with the use of a downloadable Application Note; the use of a Fluke 435 Power Quality and Energy Analyser along with other tools to reduce energy consumption is explained in Application Notes and Video Testimonials; and another section provides full guidance on the ideal tools and how to use them to detect and analyse problems with electric motors and drives.
The Preventive Maintenance portal also refers maintenance professionals to the relevant Fluke Academy series of seminars that run throughout the year in various locations across the UK and Ireland.
