In 1989, Horner Electric saw a need for the ability to do more in-depth analysis of rotating equipment in order to better diagnose machine problems. With this in mind, a partnership was formed with Nelson Baxter of A.B.M. Technical Services to create ElectroMechanical Diagnostic Services or E.M.D.S.

This company is dedicated to predictive maintenance services in the industrial market. E.M.D.S. currently employs three, full-time engineers dedicated to these services. All of our engineers are level IV certified by the Vibration Institute. The following is a list of services provided by E.M.D.S.

Expertise, Vibration Institute Certified Staff

The Electro Mechanical Diagnostic Services division consists of certified vibration analysts including three Level IV, one Level III and two level II vibration specialists. These individuals have over 100 years of combined experience in the diagnosis of problems of rotating equipment. These certified highly experienced specialists utilize the latest state of the art equipment, which include instruments from GE, Bently Nevada, Computational Systems and IOTECH. This combination of experienced, well-trained personnel, utilizing the best instrumentation on the market means that EMDS customers are assured of receiving the best service available and certified by the Vibration Institute:

To be certified as a Category IV Vibration Analyst, an individual must be certified as a Category III Vibration Analyst and have basic knowledge in signal processing, rotor dynamics, vibration control, and dual channel analysis. The certification committee recommends at least five years of experience.

Predictive Maintenance

As industrial process equipment has become larger, more complex, and more expensive, the need for new and better techniques to monitor your equipment's health is increasing in demand. Industrial plants typically utilize three types of machinery maintenance: (1) breakdown, (2) preventative, and (3) predictive.

Breakdown maintenance is essentially no maintenance at all. Just run the equipment until you have complete failure. The problem with breakdown maintenance is that failures are untimely, and usually more expensive. Some failures may even be catastrophic. The second, a preventative maintenance program, involves periodic disassembly, inspection and replacement of worn parts has distinct advantages. These include lessening the frequency of breakdown repairs, and permitting scheduled shutdowns. This approach to machinery maintenance also has disadvantages. First, to periodically disassemble every critical piece of equipment can be expensive and time consuming. Second, the interval between periodic inspections is difficult to predict. If the program is so successful that no machinery failure occurs, it may be that the interval is too short and money and production is being wasted. If the interval is too long, costly failures may still occur.

The third, predictive maintenance, involves the trending and analysis of machine condition to detect and identify developing problems before failure and extensive damage occur. You will also get the maximum performance for your equipment dollar because you will not schedule machinery rebuilding before the end of it's life.

All equipment will deteriorate! Monitoring and diagnosis of problems is obviously the most desirable way to maintain machinery. Contact our offices for quotes and information regarding monthly vibration programs, and advanced services.
