Operational Data of Lifting Equipment as the Basis for the In-Service Performance Maintenance Method
Abstract
A method for maintaining the working condition of a crane is proposed, which involves a transition from a calendar to a rolling planning of maintenance and repairs based on an analysis of the intensity of operation. The implementation of the method is based on the processing of up-to-date, objective, reliable and complete information about the actual use of the crane and its mechanisms. It is proposed to use new-generation security devices as sources of information, the objectivity of which is achieved by jointly processing data from alternative sources, reliability is ensured by improving processing algorithms adapted to the specifics of the measured processes. To protect against destruction according to the strength criterion, it is proposed to use algorithms for predicting force factors that take into account the characteristics of the crane, operating conditions and possible control commands. To assess the technical condition of the crane and its mechanisms, it is proposed to use the criterion of drive energy. Examples of practice-oriented techniques and promising safety devices implementing the presented principles are described.
