Hay una industria que ha estado reciclando silenciosamente desde antes del comienzo del siglo pasado. Así es: Más de 100 años de reciclaje. ¿De qué industria se trata? Es nuestra industria: La reparación de máquinas eléctricas.

There is one industry that has been quietly recycling since before the start of the previous century. That’s right – over 100 years of recycling. What industry is that? It’s our industry – electrical equipment repair.

As we communicate internationally, language barriers persist. In the technical fields, the metric-imperial units clash is slowly diminishing. Many vibration analysts are “bilingual” in that respect and are comfortable using either system. But for more casual users who may only encounter vibration data in regard to meeting specs, unfamiliar vibration amplitude units can be a challenge. 

A medida que nos comunicamos internacionalmente, persisten las barreras del idioma y en el campo técnico, el choque entre unidades métricas y en pulgadas está disminuyendo lentamente. Muchos analistas de vibraciones son “bilingües” y se sienten cómodos utilizando cualquiera de los sistemas. Pero para los usuarios ocasionales que tal vez solo encuentren datos de vibración con respecto al cumplimiento de las especificaciones, las unidades de amplitud de vibración desconocidas pueden ser un reto.

Occasions arise where original winding data is not available. It may have been recorded incorrectly or a different service center may have stripped the core but not completed the repair. In those cases, the service center must come up with a new “bare core” winding design. EASA's redesign software has some specific features to address this need.

Surgen ocasiones en las que los datos de bobinado originales no están disponibles. Es posible que se haya registrado incorrectamente o que un centro de servicio diferente haya quitado el núcleo pero no haya completado la reparación. En esos casos, el centro de servicio debe presentar un nuevo diseño de bobinado de "núcleo desnudo". El software de rediseño de EASA tiene algunas características específicas para abordar esta necesidad.

Training, technical support, marketing content, speciality help and vendors are just a few of the tools available through easa.com.
