MECHANICAL INFRARED INSPECTIONS

FIND ABNORMAL HEAT BEFORE MOVING EQUIPMENT BECOMES A PRODUCTION PROBLEM

CONDITION MONITORING FOR OPERATING EQUIPMENT

Motors, bearings, pumps, conveyors and other mechanical systems produce recognizable heat patterns while operating. Accurate Infrared compares components and operating conditions to identify abnormal heating associated with friction, lubrication problems, misalignment, loading differences, airflow restrictions and developing equipment faults.

Infrared allows a large amount of operating equipment to be screened without interrupting production. Significant findings are communicated promptly, and the report helps maintenance personnel decide where additional testing, lubrication, alignment or repair work should be focused.

SCREEN

Inspect operating equipment efficiently without stopping normal production whenever access permits.

COMPARE

Evaluate similar components, loads and operating conditions to separate normal heat from suspect patterns.

ACT

Use concise findings to prioritize follow-up testing and planned maintenance before equipment fails.

FIELD EXAMPLES

Representative imagery from real field assignments. Client, vessel and location details are intentionally withheld.

EQUIPMENT PATTERN

Focused thermal views help document localized heating for condition-monitoring follow-up.

TYPICAL MECHANICAL SCOPE

• Motors and motor housings

• Bearings and bearing housings

• Pumps, fans and blowers

• Belts, pulleys and couplings

• Conveyors and production equipment

• Gearboxes and other rotating assets

• HVAC and process equipment

• Other accessible operating equipment within the agreed scope

A PRACTICAL PART OF A CONDITION-MONITORING PROGRAM

Mechanical thermography is especially useful for screening repetitive assets across production lines and facilities with large equipment inventories. Trending repeatable inspection points over time can help maintenance teams recognize changing conditions and focus resources where they matter most.

Infrared records surface temperature patterns and does not replace vibration analysis, ultrasound, oil analysis or physical inspection. When appropriate, we can coordinate infrared and ultrasound work to give your team a broader view of the equipment condition.
