توسعه و پیاده سازی فعالیت های نگهداری و تعمیرات هوشمند برای ابزار و ماشین آلات

Analyzing and revising current machine tools with regard to their maintenance-friendliness, servicing and inspection activities leads to a split-up between production and maintenance responsibilities. The illustrated algorithm allows for the identification of collateral components which require replacing when adjoining components are replaced even though their own service life is not yet exceeded. A modularization approach was elaborated for the application of this method reducing the design of a machine tool to maintenance-relevant parameters. The respective routines were programmed in a software environment for an easy and quick implementation and launched for an exemplary machine tool.

The increasing costs of investment for modern production systems make it indispensable for their operators to achieve the optimum utilization of their machines [1]. The evaluation is increasingly based on overall equipment efficiency (OEE). OEE includes the factors performance, quality and availability [2]. As far as technical aspects are concerned, availability offers the biggest potential [3]. One possible approach to increase availability is the optimization of maintenance-friendliness [4].
