Organization of service and repair of special equipment requires highly qualified specialists. This is due to the complexity of the design, the need for specialized diagnostic equipment, specialized devices and tools.
Determination of causes and elimination of failures of machines and mechanisms in the companies where they operate, is organized in different ways. At large enterprises, specialized services are created for repair of special-purpose machinery and corresponding material and technical base. Others go to authorized service centers, others to independent companies. Each of the proposed options has its pros and cons.
New machines, which have not yet expired, in overwhelming majority of cases are serviced at official representative offices of manufacturing companies. As special machinery ages and wears out, turning to dealers becomes disadvantageous.
Choosing a contractor for the maintenance and repair of special equipment, you should pay attention to the technical equipment of the service station, the experience of mechanics, their experience in repairing special equipment of the manufacturer. The quality and efficiency of repair of your equipment directly depends on this.
Timely performance of maintenance procedures contributes to maintaining the performance of special purpose machines. Maintenance should be carried out in accordance with the periodicity established by the manufacturer, as a certain number of working hours. Service work also performs when the season changes and the onset of cold weather.
In the process of carrying out routine procedures, inspection of systems and mechanisms of special equipment is carried out, the performance of units is determined. If any malfunctions are detected, preventive repairs are made to eliminate the malfunctions. Skilled and regular maintenance of machines and mechanisms allows you to minimize downtime due to breakdowns.
Much of the service work can be carried out by machine operators who are directly involved in the operation of the machinery. Mechanics and other specialists, if they are available in the company’s staff, are involved to assist in eliminating detected defects. In complicated cases, they contact the representative offices of manufacturing companies, which send engineers to inspect the machines and make decisions regarding the organization of repairs.
The operating conditions of machines and mechanisms must comply with those declared by the manufacturer in the documentation. However, breakdowns and failures are inevitable even if the rules of use of special equipment are strictly observed.
