Machinery Condition Assessment or the more traditional term, condition-based maintenance, uses a variety of predictive technologies such as vibration, oil/wear particle analysis and infrared thermography to identify and diagnose a wide variety of equipment problems common to most industrial applications. Vibration analysis which is the primary focus of DLI engineering is widely considered to be the most effective predictive technology for rotating machinery. DLI Engineering has been a pioneer in vibration-based condition analysis since 1966.
