Here is how we saved our customer unexpected costs of $1,002,800 through our engineering services...
CUSTOMER SITUATION: The customers application had fallen behind in routine inspections and maintenance reporting. The customer engaged Tsubaki to do offline reports.
THE PROBLEM: Maintaining the chain to the manufacturer's standards was not currently being achieved. Lubrication and checks on the chain had not been completed regularly. Field inspection by a trained Tsubaki Serviceman made sure chain was lubricated correctly, elongation measurements were taken and picked up on reclaimer bucket attachment lodged between the head sprocket and chain. If inspection was not completed, upon machine start-up chain and/or drive sprocket may have been damaged or critical failure could have occurred causing major downtime. Figure one shows the lodged attachment bucket.
