Motion Amplification
SEEING IS BELIEVING!
CCD Technologies is excited to introduce you to our newest diagnostic tool – the Iris M Motion Amplification Camera. This tool will allow CCD to work with our Clients on Reliability and Predictive Maintenance for Operating Equipment and structures in plant sites. This service is not limited to just concrete structures, we are happy to provide this service for any piece of equipment that you have.
Motion Amplification is a video-processing method that detects subtle motion and amplifies this motion to a level visible to the naked eye. This vibration monitoring technology turns every pixel in the cameras view into a sensor capable of measuring vibration or movement with high levels of accuracy. This is a completely non-contact process that will clearly identify vibration movement in all aspects of an operating unit in a visual format, much easier to understand than traditional vibration monitoring systems, or the “hand touch” analysis that we have been using for many years. The results are a Visualization of Movement that is extremely clear to everyone, even those in plants that do not have a mechanical/civil background but are vested in the performance and maintenance of the Equipment being inspected.
CCD will now be able to accurately troubleshoot the following:
Please have a look at the following videos to see how dramatic Motion Amplification can actually be. If there is anything specific you would like to see, please let us know and we will try to send it to you.

CCD will now be able to accurately troubleshoot the following:
- Anchor Bolt Movement Points.
- Grout/Plate movement. Grout/Concrete Movement.
- Cracks in concrete foundations that are moving but not visible to the eye.
- Detect Soft Foot. Detect Piping strain and vibration.
- Visually see Structural Looseness, Misalignment, Reciprocating Engine and Compressor Motion.
- Drive Train Faults, Ineffective Damping, Torsional Twisting, Bending and Flexing of operating Units.
- Many, many more operation issues that clients may be experiencing but are unable to determine the root cause.
