Overview
Why do you need training?
Why do you need analysis assistance?
What is iLearnVibration?

Do you need training?

iLearnInteractive

There is a HUGE amount to learn

So many technical terms and principles
So many analysis techniques and fault conditions

Where do you turn when you have questions?

Books, technical papers and Web sites
Thats a lot of reading, and a lot of clicking!

iLearnVibration training

iLearnInteractive

Solution: iLearnVibration
Step-by-step, fully narrated training
The slides are read to you
You can just sit back and listen, like a video
Or you can sit up and take control

iLearnVibration training
We cover everything from the most basic, fundamental
topics (for the absolute beginner) to more advanced topics
like phase analysis, diagnosing machine faults, high
frequency bearing analysis techniques, and much more
There are over 1800 slides with over 7.5 hours of
narration (voice recordings)
There are also over 400 quiz questions
The quizzes help you to check that you have understood the
material

Do you need more than just training?

iLearnInteractive

Do you learn from training alone?

It is essential that you are taught the terms,
techniques and skills
To prepare for the real world, you need to practice
your new skills
You need the chance to practice on machines with
known faults practice makes perfect

Solution: iLearnVibration [Professional]

Case histories and virtual test rig

What do you do when you are on

your own?

iLearnInteractive

Once the training has ended

Everything you have learned will help
Practice with case histories will help
But what about when you have questions?

What do you need?

You will need refresher training
You need quick access the information most often
required
You need help with spectrum analysis

Refresher Training

iLearnInteractive

The training is available 24 hours per day

Look for the material that answers your question

Utilize the bookmarks for have created
Search on specific fault conditions
Search on specific machine types
Look up special test settings
Review how to set up your database
And so on

Search the training material

iLearnInteractive

Search the training

Reference Center

iLearnInteractive

The Reference Center allows you to

Search the training material
View a tree of common faults (imbalance, etc.) and a
tree of common symptoms (sidebands, harmonics, etc.)
With supporting information and links to the training
Convert units, view forcing frequencies, and more
Refer to an excellent glossary

iLearnInterpreter

iLearnInteractive

But when it comes to spectrum analysis

First you have to identify the patterns
Harmonic and sideband series
Then you have to determine the likely reason for those
patterns
Imbalance, looseness, bearing faults, broken rotor
bars, etc.

iLearnInterpreter

iLearnInteractive

iLearnInterpreter performs both tasks

It studies the spectrum, looks at all of the peaks, then
places markers on the key series
It highlights each of the harmonic and sideband series
It will find patterns that you did not even know were
there
Then it provides an explanation for each pattern
Imbalance, looseness, bearing faults, broken rotor
bars, etc.
And it provides an explanation, with links to the
training material (if you own it)

iLearnInterpreter

iLearnInteractive

iLearnInterpreter works with all major vibration

analysis programs
CSI RBMWare (Machinery Health Manager),
Entek/Rockwell Odyssey, SKF Machine Analyst,
Commtest ASCENT, DLI ExpertALERT, PRFTECHNIK
OMNITREND, SPM Condmaster Pro, and others
It works by looking at the spectrum on the screen
You dont have to make any preparations
Just drag the helping hand from the system tray to
the graph

Bottom line:

iLearnInteractive

With training and assistance:

You will detect and diagnose faults earlier
You will have greater confidence in your judgment
You can improve teamwork and increase cooperation
You will often get an earlier warning of a machine fault
There will be fewer unexpected machine failures

Common questions

Do I really need iLearnVibration?

How often will I use iLearnVibration?
Does iLearnVibration mean I cant go to class?
Will I be able to teach myself?
How can I justify the product?
How do I convince my manager?

Common questions:
Do you really need iLearnVibration?

iLearnInteractive

I have been doing just fine without it!

What you dont know can hurt you
Are you sure there are no gaps in your knowledge?
A great deal can be achieved if everything is done correctly
But how do you know?
Have you ever had a question and wanted a quick answer?
Have you ever seen something unusual in a spectrum?
Have you ever had to train a new staff member?

Common questions:
How often will I use iLearnVibration?

iLearnInteractive

Will I use it after an initial training session?

Absolutely you will use it over and over!
It was not designed to just provide a once-off course
Lots of our users report that they use iLearnVibration more
than once per week
iLearnInterpreter gets used far more frequently

Common questions:
Will I still go to class?

iLearnInteractive

But shouldnt I go to training class?

iLearnVibration is not designed to replace training class
You can still go to class
Interaction with the instructor and other students is
important and helpful
But courses have their limitations
Most people only retain 30% of what was taught
Who/what do you turn to when you return?
Solution: Do both!
Get iLearnVibration before you go to class for greatest
effectiveness

Common questions:
Will I be able to teach myself?

iLearnInteractive

I dont learn well unless I am in a structured class

Remember, iLearnVibration is not designed to replace the
training class
It is more useful as a source of refresher training and a
source of answers to tough questions
You dont have to sit down with the system for hours at a
time: you either use it when you have questions, or you
can take one lesson at a time, once per day whatever
you like!

Common questions:
I am not sure we can afford it?

iLearnInteractive

Some general training CD are just $150

iLearnVibration is far more than just a training CD

It contains very specialized information
It includes tools to help you do your job
You spent thousands on your vibration monitoring system:
A relatively small additional investment will help you to
gain maximum benefit
What you learn, and the faults Interpreter helps you find,
could result in thousands of dollars saved/avoided in
downtime/repairs/parts

Common questions:
How can I convince my manager?

iLearnInteractive

I am not sure my manager will approve it

You may need to admit you need help
You need to try and put the benefits in terms that relate to
your situation
The need for staff training
Was there a fault you missed that may have been caught if
you owned our product?
Look at our customer list can you see a competitor of
yours?
