Industrial Maintenance & Repair Resources

• Best Practices for Maintenance & Repair - Over 70% of equipment failures are caused by maintenance personal not adhering to best practices. Through regular service and attention to detail, companies with a solid foundation in fundamental maintenance are able to increase production capacity, operate at peak reliability, and reach higher levels of profitability.
• Proper CNC Machine Operation and Tolerances - Proper CNC machine operation and tolerances means controlling manufacturing costs and capital expenditures, keeping machine tools running efficiently, and producing parts exactly as designed. High tolerances will vary from machine shop to machine shop due to the quality of the CNC machines. Some companies can offer tolerances of 0.001" while others won't have a CNC machine capable of this tolerance.
• Variable Frequency Drive - The variable frequency drive can reduce your facility's energy consumption up to 70% by matching the speed of the equipment to the load requirement thereby increasing productio, and decreasing maintenance and repairs.
• How to Properly Lubricate Bearings in Electric Motors - An important step in prolonging the life of any electric motor, bearings should always be lubricated consistently, correctly, and according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Selecting an Adjustable Speed Drive - Selecting an adjustable speed drive, particularly one in a constant torque, may seem like an easy task but there are several things that you should consider. Choosing an adjustable speed drive with the presumably correct power and speed could adversely affect the amount of energy used to perform certain tasks.
