 Vibration Analysis for Engineers
Engineers and Plant Management are responsible for daily maintenance decisions that effect the operation and profitability of their company. This course is fast paced and designed by TurboCare Canada's Engineers for Engineers. The intention of this course is not to train Engineers and Managers how to collect vibration data or perform vibration related tasks. TurboCare's objective is to ensure that Engineer's have the tools and knowledge required to make educated, informed and confident decisions based on the data and reports submitted by their Vibration Analysts.
Course Dates:

 Category I Vibration Analysis - ISO 18436-2 Plus!
This course is particularly suited for Tradespersons & Technicians with minimal experience in basic vibration collection. The objective is to train individuals how to perform simple single channel machinery vibration measurements, from the collection of the data to inputting the results in a database and downloading routes from a computer.
