Value of Tech Part 5: Not So Good Vibrations

How often do we say to ourselves, “if only I would have known sooner!”  With industrial machinery, being able to know earlier if something is starting to fail can be the key to correcting a developing problem that could cost you big.  Monitoring vibrations is an effective way to tell if a system is starting to fail.  It could indicate wear, misalignment, imbalance, or looseness that can be corrected to prevent greater damage or loss.
