Preventive Maintenance

 

More and more companies are finding their customers are demanding a Preventive Maintenance program be an integrated part of their SPC program. C:PORT can help with documented calibration records , DC and AC motor inspection and service, and inspection of mechanical moving elements of the machine. Our expertise in finding problems before they become catastrophic has reduced some of our customer's downtime by as much as 60%. C:PORT takes preventive maintenance one step further to predictive maintenance, doing a  complete analysis of trends within the framework of the machine and  documenting mechanical, electrical, and fluid power systems parameters for future reference. We can even set up a computer database for automated information retrieval and data collection. Rates can be by machine, per diem, or by program.

 Just an example of some of the PM procedures used include;

On Motors... •                     High voltage tests of motor insulation •                     Brush and running gear inspection •                     Bearing inspection •                     Current draw and CEMF •                     Clean & inspect tachs, commutators, and encoders

On Mechanicals... •                     Inspection of ballscrews and thrust bearings •                     Check of mechanical backlash •                     Check of gibs, ways •                     Check of lubrication system •                     Inspection of way covers, wipers
