Every industrial process has some sort of rotation. Operational problems develop when a vibration is present. That can lead to failures. Over time, operating conditions change. For example, motors, shafts, wheels and other industrial equipment can accumulate debris, couplings wear and bearing housings become loose. CMT can do a vibrational analysis to determine the root […]
Preventative maintenance saves time and money
New technology helps predict machinery conditions with high accuracy. Laser alignment, vibration analysis, Babbitt bearing and bearing journal inspections, FARO studies and motor insulation integrity are just a few of the preventative maintenance options CMT provides to mitigate repairs and save companies money.

CMT can fix motors and gearboxes
A disassembly evaluation at CMT indicated the rolling element bearing failed because of service conditions. The DC roll motor and gearbox needed new shafts, bearings and gears because of improper alignment. Alignment is important in double shaft extensions. If one or both sides aren’t aligned, bearings are destroyed and shafts can twist. In addition to […]
On-site preventative maintenance ensures everything is working and running efficiently
Industrial preventive maintenance is critical to operation. Industrial rotating equipment can vary from a stand-alone machine to an entire process line. Each individual machine often contributes to the completed product. Preventative maintenance can be the main contributing factor to bottom line profits and prevents work stoppages. CMT technicians and tools in the field service vans […]
Industrial maintenance critical to keeping pieces and parts running smoothly
Is it balance or vibration issues? Balance is the uneven distribution of weight. Vibration is shaking driven by oscillation and disturbed equilibrium. Industrial preventive maintenance is critical to operations. CMT technicians can tell if it’s balance or vibration issues or something else to keep things running smoothly. Industrial rotating equipment can be several thousand horsepower […]
Predictive maintenance programs head off problems before they start
Stay a leg up on costly repairs with a predictive maintenance program. A predictive maintenance program can be tailored for your company to suit your needs and budget while keeping your equipment running. Predictive maintenance programs can diagnose, track, monitor and trend equipment by detecting conditions that show up before they become costly and inconvenient […]
Technical services: Non Destructive Testing for specialty manufacturing
Manufacturing firms often require non-destructive testing services (or NDT) to verify the quality of their products. When used at periodic check points, non-destructive testing services can assist a manufacturer to monitor and maintain quality. The NDT process helps to determine suitability for use of manufactured goods. CMT is currently supplying non-destructive testing services to a […]
