LIVE WEBINAR: INSIGHTS INTO WIDE BAND-GAP APPLICATIONS AND MEASUREMENTS PART II

In industrial plant operations and energy infrastructure, issues such as overload, short circuits, or performance degradation frequently stem from increased contact resistance, material wear, or electromechanical anomalies. The application of thermal imaging cameras allows for non-contact infrared radiation measurement, converting thermal energy into an intuitive color map to detect anomalies early while the system is operating under load.

Loosening or wear never happens overnight; it always stems from minor degradations over time. If the maintenance team waits until mechanical noise is emitted or bearings overheat before intervening, the production line already faces the risk of unexpected downtime and massive repair costs.

Continuous operation pressure in modern manufacturing plants places severe demands on low-voltage power distribution systems. The dense presence of non-linear loads—such as large variable frequency drives (VFDs), electric arc furnaces, and power converters—generates complex distorted currents.

Precision torque control supports assembly quality by matching torque requirements to the joint, verifying tools regularly, and maintaining consistent work practices.

Effective bolted-joint tightening depends on calibrated torque control, torque values informed by joint testing, and a tightening sequence that distributes preload evenly. Washer fit, flange fasteners, gasket relaxation, and embedding also affect preload retention.
