Thermography is one of the most important non-destructive diagnostic techniques, Figure 6. Many technical problems manifest
themselves in the form of heat generation, which can be detected
with the aid of a high resolution infrared camera. The major
advantage of thermography is the rapid, non-contact collection
of temperature data. If a photograph is taken at the same time,
the temperature patterns present in a machine part can be assigned
on site.
Thermography can be used for assessment in relation to numerous
objects, such as in the case of:
■ non-contact monitoring of rolling bearings during operation
■ thermal monitoring of processes.

The combination of different diagnostic techniques enables the
Schaeffler experts to carry out assessment of new plant irrespective
of the manufacturer. Frequently occurring installation defects can
thus be detected in the commissioning phase. These defects
include: misalignment of motors, pumps or fans as well as incorrect
electrical connections in switch cabinets. The Schaeffler experts
check the most common problems and record the actual status.
Where necessary, corrective measures can then be requested from
the plant manufacturer or operator in good time. If such defects
remain undetected over the period of the warranty, their removal and
the secondary damage may incur considerable costs and downtime.
