As a maintenance professional, you know that properly maintained equipment can mean the difference between successful operations and total equipment failure.
Cornerstone Mechanical delivers condition monitoring services that help facilities reduce downtime, extend equipment life and improve reliability. By combining decades of field experience with advanced wireless sensor technology from Erbessd Instruments®, we help customers move beyond reactive maintenance toward a more data-driven industrial predictive maintenance solutions.
Where Experience Meets Technology
Since 1995, we’ve helped hundreds of customers—from shingle manufacturers to water treatment plants—install, maintain and ensure the reliable operation of their rotating equipment.
We pair that hands-on experience across thousands of assets with Erbessd®’s advanced condition monitoring technology. The result is a more precise, proactive maintenance strategy.
Cornerstone brings the expertise, Erbessd® provides the tools and together, we deliver better outcomes.
Benefits of Condition-Based Monitoring for Rotating Equipment
After years of working with the same kinds of rotating equipment, our technicians become highly attuned to the subtle rumbles, squeals and vibrations that signal potential issues.
However, even the most experienced technician can’t detect every early-stage failure. Many critical changes in machine behavior aren’t visible to the naked eye.
Over time, these small variations can point to:
- Failing components
- Worn belts
- Imbalance or misalignment
- Degrading pumps or rotating equipment
If left unaddressed, these issues can lead to unplanned downtime, costly repairs or full system failure.
This is where condition monitoring technology plays a critical role—it bridges the gap between scheduled preventive maintenance and industrial predictive maintenance solutions.
What Does Condition Monitoring Track?
Condition monitoring tracks several key operating parameters that machine performance and longevity depend on, including:
- Vibration
- Speed (RPM)
- Electrical current
- Temperature
Changes in any of these measurements, whether gradual or sudden, can indicate developing issues. Consistently monitoring these metrics allows problems to be addressed early, often saving significant time and cost over the course of a year.
How Cornerstone & Erbessd® Go Beyond Average Condition Monitoring
With long battery lives, internal temperature sensors and configurable alarm values, the Erbessd® lineup of wireless monitoring sensors keeps an uninterrupted watch over equipment. Paired with the expert analysis of Cornerstone’s ISO-certified vibration analysts, our customers can level up their maintenance programs.
Once our technicians professionally install the sensors, we can take thousands of measurements within the programmable parameters and set thresholds for alarms to alert when they fall out of normal range.
In addition to measuring factors like vibration, speed, electrical current and temperature, Erbessd® sensors can also measure:
- Thermography
- Ultrasound
- Lubricant analysis
- Acoustic analysis
Stay productive, profitable and at the top of your game with predictive maintenance through Cornerstone Mechanical and Erbessd Instruments®. Get started today by requesting a pilot program or calling our team at (214) 570-9498.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do wireless vibration sensors work?
Sensors are installed on equipment to continuously measure parameters like vibration and temperature. Data is transmitted wirelessly, analyzed and then used to trigger alerts when abnormalities are detected.
What do vibration monitoring services include?
They typically include sensor installation, continuous data collection, condition analysis and expert recommendations to address developing issues before failure occurs.
What types of instruments does Erbessd Instruments® offer?
Erbessd® manufactures vibration monitoring systems, wireless sensors, balancers and accelerometers designed for industrial condition monitoring.
