Scanning process
Digital gear inspections utilize advanced electromagnetic technology to scan and record the gear tooth condition faster and with more accuracy than any other method available.
100% of a vast area is covered within a single scan producing a digital footprint in high resolution to achieve accurate data on every defect of the girth gear with minimal valuable downtime.
Inspections are simpler and safer for hard-to-reach areas which is a major improvement from conventional methods.
The scan patterns are analyzed to create a digital report providing insight for the maintenance team and accurate component replacement forecasts.
Scans are automatically recorded and saved for future trending, comparisons and analysis. No consumables are required for the inspection and less preparation for test material is needed.
Inspection deliverables
- Conduct a non-destructive electromagnetic examination using ASTM-E2905
- Detect flaws in high resolution
- Collect data
- Identify the root cause of issues
- Digital report of findings
- Remedial repair recommendations
- Conduct a failure analysis including their severity and impacts on the operational function of the gear as per AGMA 1010
- Component replacement forecast
Cleaning and flushing the girth gear is a mandatory step before inspections to ascertain the condition of the equipment and maintenance required to keep the equipment in optimal working condition
