OBJECT AND OPERATION SUPPORTED MAINTENANCE FOR MINING EQUIPMENT

The paper aroused in answer to discussion in Mining Magazine (MM) September 2011 and July/August 2013. The paper shows that discussion given in the MM issue July/August 2013 does not fulfill expectations expressed in MM issue 2011. The presented paper is the review on maintenance that is based on condition monitoring as tool for detection of faults and failure prevention. Fault and failure are regarded as inevitable during the machine operation as the process of wear and the process of degra- dation. The question is, if one can influence the wear and degradation process, using condition monito- ring. The paper will present technology (in reference to cited papers) which demonstrates that the use of the proper method can influence the wear and machine degradation process, using proper condition moni- toring techniques and knowing scenarios of wear and degradation process, the maintenance can be ratio- nalized. The presented paper shows possible improvements which are needed to fulfill expectations expressed in MM September 2011 and they are not taken into consideration in MM July/August 3013. These improvements can be fulfilling on the bases of object and operation supported maintenance.
