iLearnInteractive is a series of products designed to teach you about condition monitoring, vibration analysis and alignment.

We believe that interaction and continued stimulation are the keys to success when learning a new or difficult subject. And our range of products will continually motivate and entertain you.

The following is a summary of the products with a link to greater detail.  

$795.00

iLearnVibration [Standard] includes iLearnVibration, the Reference Center and the new iLearnCertification module.  This product combination is ideal if your budget is limited, or if you only desire training and reference, but no diagnostic assistance, instructor tools, or the modules that help you gain experience.

iLearnVibration is an interactive CD-ROM based training course.  It will help you understand why you engage in predictive maintenance activities, and cover many of the technologies involved. 

The focus is vibration analysis where we cover everything from the fundamentals of vibration and waveforms, through measurement collection and signal processing, to diagnosing machine faults and running a successful program.

The Reference Center is designed to be a valuable resource when you have questions.  You can quickly look-up diagnostic information, vibration symptoms, perform conversions, view forcing frequencies, and search the training material based on a question you have.

 

iLearnCertification is designed to help you become self-certified.  A person can sit a Vibration Technician, Vibration Level I and Vibration Level II test.  These tests can be self-imposed, or an employee can choose to monitor the test for in-house certification.  This module is also helpful for the person planning to sit ASNT, or some other certification exam.

iLearnVibration [Professional] adds four programs to the iLearnVibration [Standard] package.  These modules help you: gain measurement and analysis experience, machine frequencies, and data collector functions.  This is our most commonly ordered package.

Note: This package was previously called iLearnEverything

The only way to become experienced and confident with vibration analysis is to try it yourself. 

Case Histories allows you to view historical data so that you can see first-hand how the vibration patterns change as faults develop. You also need access to real "live" vibration data, straight from the machine.  The case histories module provides a library of fifty machines with historical and live vibration readings, complete with reports and pictures.

You can analyze the vibration graphs in our software, or you can "play" them into your data collector, and analyze them with your own system.

iLearn Virtual Test Rig

Virtual Test Rig: Another way to gain some measurement and analysis experience is with our "virtual" test rig (also known as a fault demonstrator). 

We have set it out of balance, we misaligned the gears, we installed bad bearings, and much more, and then recorded vibration at a number of points on the rig, in three axes.  All you do is select the fault condition, select the test point and axis, and the data is yours.

You can analyze the vibration on screen, or play it into your data collector.

Imagine, a test rig that can be set up in seconds, with great data every time - and no skinned knuckles!

iLearnSignals will ensure that you are using your data collector properly, and to help you perform special diagnostic tests, it is important to understand "signals" and "data processing".

By turning a couple of knobs, you can build signals and study the waveform and spectrum.  And via the tutorial panels, you can easily study more complex issues like modulation and beating, and data processing tools like windowing, resolution and averaging.  You can do it all on the Signals tab.

These topics are all covered in the training, but there is nothing like having free access to the tools to experiment by yourself.

iLearn Machine Modeler and Alarm Demonstrator

Machine Modeler and Alarm Demonstrator teaches that one of the keys to spectrum analysis is understanding the relationship between the machine and the peaks you see in the spectrum.  We have created a machine modeler - you simply drag-and-drop the machine icons and build the machine.  The frequencies are calculated and the vibration is simulated.

You can then experiment with band alarms and envelope (mask) alarms in order to better understand how they work (and their limitations) - and to see how they should be designed for a more complex machine.

iLearnVibration [Interpreter] includes the iLearnInterpreter diagnostic program, and the Model Maker program, used to create machine models.

iLearnInterpreter helps inexperienced vibration analysts understand complex spectra.  It reads the spectrum directly from the PC screen, reveals the hidden patterns, and offers diagnostic suggestions (with detailed explanations, including animations and sample spectra).  iLearnInterpreter works with any vibration analysis software, and works with all vibration data types.  Additional utilities include a report writer, machine modeler, graphic editor, and data annotator.

iLearnAlignment provides training on the fundamentals: Review of misalignment, alignment tolerances, pre-alignment checks, base and foot problems (including soft foot), precision alignment, reverse dial and rim/face dial indicator methods, laser alignment, and dynamic movement
