OUR HISTORY

The Vibration Institute’s commitment to the study of machinery began over four decades ago. Our founder, Michael Blake of Lovejoy, Inc., envisioned an organization where scientists, engineers, and other professionals from a broad cross-section of industries could come together to exchange information about measuring and analyzing machinery vibration.

The Institute has executed its mission statement by providing membership, training, and certification of vibration measurement and analysis. The Vibration Institute’s Vibration Analyst certification is an ANAB-Accredited Personnel Certification Program - Accreditation 8045. ANAB is the ANSI National Accreditation Board.
