Inspection Procedure
On site inspection of the hydraulic drive system main components is done to determine their internal condition has it relates to service life expectancy. Pumps will be tested for actual output flow rates versus theoretical flow rates. This determines the operating efficiency of the unit and is expressed in actual versus theoretical percentage.
Drive motors are tested via particle analysis. The motor case is flushed and the fluid is then put through a patch test. The patch is the examined under a microscope allowing for particle size, type, and quantity to be established. This will determine the service life state of the motor internally.
The Power Unit key auxiliary components are identified and inspected by means of a check list. The check list is composed of those sub-components which can cause a system shutdown by failure. Their function is tested and logged. Examples of sub-components of this type would be the low pressure charge pressure shutdown switch or closed loop exchange rate valving. The cooling/filtration components also fit into this category. The on site inspection is followed by a full report detailing the results and recommended service actions.
Reporting & Actions
Based on inspection results major components of the hydraulic drive system (main pumps & motors) are designated for rotational rebuild. The inspection will identify the weakest main components in the system by internal service wear and operating efficiency results. These units should then be rotated out of active service, inspected and rebuilt to has new condition. This rotational system has proven to reduce or eliminate on line failures of the major components which results in unplanned production down time. This program will also reduce repair costs by identifying ands designating units before they suffer catastrophic failure. Cost savings are realized through reduced downtime and lower repair cost by avoiding major component on line failure. This program also has the effect of making annual repair budget outlays predicable and cost effective.
