Use infrared thermography to detect mechanical problems before failure. Covers bearing overheating, coupling heat generation, steam trap diagnosis, electrical hot spots, and reporting best practices.
Thermography for Mechanical Maintenance is the kind of job where production wants the guard back on before lunch. That pressure is how plants skip the baseline. Take the as-found: temperature, grease condition, alignment readings, seal weep, belt tension. Write it. Then decide if the repair is a component swap or a geometry problem. Geometry problems come back on the next crew.
The useful version of Thermography for Mechanical Maintenance is the version you can run on nights without a specialist on the radio. Use infrared thermography to detect mechanical problems before failure. Covers bearing overheating, coupling heat generation, steam trap diagnosis, electrical hot spots, and reporting best practices. Keep the as-found. Change one variable. Hand the next crew a log, not a story.

This page is the crawlable outline Google and a curl-no-JS client can read. Quizzes, video, and progress tracking live in the course player.
Millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and rotating-equipment techs who get handed a housing, a pump, or a conveyor and are expected to make it hold.
Who it is not for: license mills, VR demos, or anyone looking for a fake testimonial. We do not invent customer quotes. Certificates of completion after quizzes go in the file. They are not a journeyman card, an ISA credential, or NFPA 70E qualification by themselves.
ForgeLine Academy currently lists 78 industrial maintenance courses. 44 of those are free (Mechanical and Electrical). Premium unlocks I&E (18) and Engineering (16). That is the whole catalog — not a 22-course teaser and not a four-hour overview of the plant. Call +1 580 421 5714 or email support@forgelineacademy.com for plant cohorts and on-site classes.
Thermography for Mechanical Maintenance is one course in that 78-course ladder. Mechanical and Electrical remain free. I&E and Engineering are premium. On-site and plant cohorts are scheduled through on-site training or plant support.
Training is educational. It does not replace your site's lockout/tagout, permits, PPE, or required licenses. Certificates of completion go in the file. They are not a license.
