Vibration Training Seminar for Predictive Maintenance Makes Learning Vibration Easy

Two-day Seminars to be Held: Las Vegas in September and Houston in November 2007

CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--"Vibration is easy when it’s properly taught,” said Derek Norfield, 30-year veteran of machine vibration analysis and balancing and Datastick Systems, Inc., Director of Applications, who announced today that Datastick’s popular two-day Vibration Training Seminar will be held in Las Vegas in September and in Houston in November of 2007.

The seminar covers the basics of machine vibration and vibration analysis and best practices in collecting and reporting vibration data, as well as the operation of Datastick VSA-series Vibration Spectrum Analyzers. It is designed for anyone interested in getting off to a good start using vibration analysis for predictive maintenance and for users of VSA analyzers.

Seminars will be held in the following locations and dates:

Las Vegas, Nevada—September 14 and 15, 2007 - following PdM-2007, the Predictive Maintenance Technology Conference and Expo

Houston, Texas—November 13 and 14, 2007

“This seminar is designed for newcomers to the subject of machine vibration,” said Mr. Norfield. “Datastick’s Vibration Spectrum Analyzers are reasonably priced and simple to operate, and this attracts people from companies that have wanted to have vibration analysis as part of a predictive maintenance program, but have been put off by cost and complexity. Now that we’ve made it possible for them to afford it, the next question they ask is, ‘How do I do it?’
The seminar is where we say, ‘Here’s how.’ We keep things uncomplicated and easy to understand, and we provide lots of hands-on experience.”

A small sample of topics covered in the seminar include
• The simple physics of vibration
• The causes of vibration in rotating machinery
• Why it’s important to look at both waveforms and spectra in vibration analysis, and what to look for
• Using Datastick VSA-1214 and VSA-1215 Vibration Spectrum Analyzers
• How to place sensors to get accurate, repeatable measurements
• Strategies for collecting data
• How to produce meaningful reports using Datastick Reporting System(TM) PC software
• When to call a consultant for help
• How to help the consultant help you
