Need vibration training, mentoring or help solving a vibration problem?

4X Diagnostics provides vibration analysis training, certification, mentoring and diagnostics measurement consulting services to manufacturing, technology and service industries. We have 29 years of diagnostic measurement, vibration analysis and training experience.

Operational Deflection Shape and Modal Analysis Training

This 4.5 day course teaches students how to do ODS and Modal Analysis testing. After completing the course you will be familiar with the process involved in completing ODS & Modal testing. Each student will complete several ODS & Modal projects during the class. Find out more about the course and training schedule here

Mobius Institute Vibration Training and Certification

We provide on-site and classroom training courses in vibration analysis. The Category I, II and III vibration training and certification exams follow ISO and ASNT standards. The Mobius Institute course material is unlike anything you have ever seen before. It’s loaded with animations, interactive case histories and dozens of new software simulators combined with professionally presented slides. You can also check out the Mobius iLearnInteractive Forum for more information on vibration training courses and general discussions.

Every day, analysts struggle to diagnose problem machinery using route based vibration data. Route based data is ideal for identifying change but is often inadequate for diagnosing vibration problems. Everyone involved in vibration analysis must possess the ability to perform Operational Deflection Shape testing and modal analysis.

An Operational Deflection Shape (ODS) is a method of analyzing the vibratory motion of rotating equipment and structures under normal operating conditions. An ODS is an extension of phase analysis whereby a computer generated model of the machine is animated with single or cross-channel phase measurements or simultaneously measured time waveforms. ODS is a powerful analytical tool that can improve your ability to analyze vibration problems.

Modal Analysis Modal Analysis is an experimental method of determining the natural frequencies, damping values and mode shapes of a structure. Modal analysis is needed when machine vibration is amplified by resonance. Modal Analysis is the first step in correcting resonance problems.

Can your vibration data collector measure phase? If so, all you need to perform ODS testing is an inexpensive software program called ME’scope. Call or email for pricing.
