Vibration Analysts; Worth their Weight in Gold
Genuinely good vibration analysts are
worth their weight in gold. But how do
you create good vibration analysts?
A good vibration analyst provides an early warning of faults,
with a clear statement of what’s wrong, what must be
done, and the urgency of the required action. Good
vibration analysts are accurate and confident.
How do you make a “good” vibration analyst? You train
them at an Authorized Mobius Institute Training Partner
Center.
The difference is in the unique way we train them. In the
old days, with “death-by-PowerPoint” presentations, the
analysts just had to take the word of the instructor - “I
know it is confusing, but take my word for it, this is how it is
– and now we need to move to the next topic” is the
attitude of too many instructors. People often came home
from the course more confused than they were before. And
sadly, this is still the case with the majority of (non-Mobius)
courses today.
But Mobius approved instructors are different.
Mobius Institute approved instructors use training
materials rich with 3D animations and sophisticated
simulations – hundreds of them! The animations and
software simulations explain the machinery failure modes,
the vibration signals, signal processing, and the
instrumentation. They make everything crystal clear.
To achieve the best possible results, without extra charge,
students attend online training before the course to get
them up to speed – they get so much more out of the live

course. During the course, in addition to seeing the
animations and simulations, they receive repeated
anonymous quizzes and exam standard “worked examples”
to ensure that everyone understands what they need to
know. No student is left behind!
And that’s the real difference. Mobius students understand
the machine, the failure modes, the root causes, the
vibration patterns and analysis techniques, and the
analyzer; they are not just forced to remember.
Since just 2005, we have trained over 24,000 people from
174 countries, in over 20 languages, according to the ISO
18436 standards. The certification is accredited to ISO
17024. There is no higher standard.
