Companies relying on heavy machinery or intricate machines need maintenance that goes above and beyond normal levels. In instances such as this, predictive maintenance is required. This method can foretell small problems before they grow into giant problems. One of the most important aspects to predictive maintenance is called Vibration Analysis in Austin. Here are a few reasons why.
1. The cost to replace entire pieces of machinery due to critical failure can be enormous. With vibration analysis, the damage can be prevented by identifying the component that is failing before it causes the entire machine to fail. This allows the only money to be spent on repairs relegated to the cost of the part replaced and the cost of the labor needed to replace it. Obviously, this is great for the bottom line of the company.
2. Since vibration analysis allows for more timely scheduling of repairs, the amount of money spent on overall labor to fix machines is lessened. Also, the amount spent on critical call-out repair labor is greatly reduced. Critical call-outs are significantly more expensive than more common repairs.
3. Production time is enhanced due to the fact that the downtime required to due to critical failures are reduced. Production can be planned around the regularly scheduled maintenance sessions, resulting in more efficiency on the line and greater more predictable product output.
4. Vibration analysis is directly responsible for safer working conditions. When a machine reaches critical failure stage, the results can be disastrous, and in some cases, it can result in injury or even death to employees that are working with the machine. The predictive maintenance allows the machine to properly function and greatly reduces the number of injuries on the job and workman’s comp cases that stem from them. It also leverages the company against the risk of government fines and additional lawsuits.
