Thermography Services

Industrial Thermography

VibroTech Balancing provides thermography services using infrared temperature measurement to identify abnormal thermal patterns in electrical and mechanical equipment. Infrared inspection can help locate areas of excessive heating that may require further engineering investigation or maintenance attention.

Thermal Inspection

Thermal inspections can be performed on accessible equipment and components according to the operating condition and inspection requirement.

• Electrical panel and connection inspection
• Motor and rotating-equipment thermal inspection
• Bearing and housing temperature assessment
• Cable, terminal and connection inspection
• Mechanical component thermal patterns
• Thermal comparison between similar components

What Thermography Can Identify

Abnormal temperature patterns can provide useful evidence of developing electrical or mechanical conditions. Thermal interpretation should consider equipment loading, ambient conditions, component design and operating state.

• Loose or high-resistance electrical connections
• Abnormal electrical heating
• Overloaded electrical components
• Bearing or mechanical heating
• Uneven thermal behaviour
• Other abnormal temperature conditions

VibroTech's Approach

Our approach combines infrared inspection with practical knowledge of industrial machinery. Thermal observations are considered together with equipment type, operating conditions and the surrounding machine environment so that abnormal thermal patterns can be investigated more effectively.
