TRIPOD Corporation is a machinery diagnostics company specializing in Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA). We detect early signs of electrical and mechanical anomalies in rotating machinery using current and voltage data from motors and generators. By evaluating the condition of various industrial assets—including wind turbine systems—we help reduce the risk of unplanned downtime and support effective maintenance planning.

3 Services Designed for Your Objectives

Diagnostics & Analysis

For those looking to assess equipment health: We evaluate early signs of anomalies through ESA-centered on-site diagnostics and contracted analysis.

Equipment Implementation

For those looking to perform in-house measurement and monitoring: We support the implementation of portable diagnostic equipment and permanent condition monitoring systems.

Training & Technical Consulting

For those looking to master diagnostic skills: We offer ESA training alongside technical support for data analysis and operational challenges.
