Perth Based Machine Vibration Monitoring Services
Machinery is the backbone of mining, construction and industrial operations. Whilst machines naturally vibrate during operation, excessive vibration could lead to mechanical failures, operational delays and costly repairs.
Implementing a machine vibration monitoring plan is the surest way of detecting faults and anomalies before they escalate into larger issues. Monitoring data can also be used to optimise maintenance schedules and ensure compliance with relevant regulations.
At Monitel, our team creates comprehensive machine vibration monitoring plans tailored to the needs of individual projects. Our systems help businesses track equipment health, prevent unplanned downtime and extend the lifespan of critical assets.
We construct monitoring solutions in line with relevant standards, using advanced structural instrumentation to ensure that you receive accurate and reliable data.
Understanding Machine Vibration Monitoring
All machines will vibrate to some degree, but abnormal vibration levels can indicate imbalances, misalignment, wear or even impending failures.
Monitoring these vibrations involves continuous tracking using high precision sensors to identify anomalies before they escalate.
By monitoring key vibration parameters – such as peak particle velocity (PPV), frequency and acceleration—operators can:
- Detect early signs of wear and mechanical failure.
- Reduce maintenance costs by replacing components before large failures occur.
- Minimise workplace risks associated with vibrating machinery.
- Ensure compliance with workplace safety and vibration exposure standards.
Monitel’s Machine Vibration Monitoring Services
Our machine vibration monitoring systems use a range of wireless vibration sensors, displacement sensors and accelerometers – all of which are easy to install with minimal, if any, wiring. These sensors combine with our data reporting software to provide instant notifications when vibration levels exceed set thresholds.
Our team conducts in-depth research when creating a plan, noting equipment types, operating conditions and specific regulations enforced by your local council.
Monitel has deployed machine vibration monitoring systems in industries such as:
- Mining – Tracking vibration levels in crushers, conveyors and drilling equipment.
- Construction – Monitoring excavators, piling rigs and compactors for performance issues.
- Industrial manufacturing – Preventing failures in turbines, pumps and motors.
- Transport – Ensuring rail, bridge and tunnel equipment operates within safe limits.
Australian Standards for Machine Vibration Monitoring
Monitel’s machine vibration monitoring plans are guided by Australian regulations and will assist you in complying with them.
Whilst there are nationwide rules around vibration, a lack of a unified standard means that you must account for federal, state and local government requirements.
Key standards include:
- ISO 10816 / ISO 20816 – Defines acceptable vibration levels for rotating machinery, helping assess mechanical health.
- AS 2670.2-1990 – Sets vibration exposure limits for workers to prevent health risks associated with whole-body vibration.
- Work Health and Safety (Mines) Regulations 2022 – Requires mine operators to maintain safe operating conditions for machinery and implement preventative maintenance programs.
Monitel: Tailoring Structural Monitoring Systems Across Western Australia
