Fault analysis and elimination for mechanical equipment

Systematic analysis from symptom to root cause is the precondition for eliminating a fault. We issue a fault analysis report so that every shutdown ends in a conclusion.

Analysis spans four dimensions — mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and control — locating the fault from running data and test instruments, and separating intermittent from degradation-type faults.

The elimination process records the fixes applied and parts replaced; the report carries the root-cause conclusion and prevention advice, feeding better maintenance strategy.

Report with root cause and prevention advice feeds back into maintenance

The methods of fault analysis and elimination

1
Three-step location: reproduce the symptom - screen systematically - verify the root cause. Every step is recorded and backed by data; we do not do guess-based repair without evidence.
2
The mechanical/electrical split: for sudden jumps in accuracy or condition, look at the electrical side first (poor contact, interference, parameter drift); for slow drift, look at the mechanical side first (looseness, wear, deformation). Classify before you investigate - it cuts out half the wasted effort.
3
Instrumented testing: for vibration, read the spectrum - bearing characteristic frequencies do not lie; for temperature, find hot spots with infrared imaging; for electrics, measure insulation, check earthing, look at waveforms. Instruments collect the data, experience interprets it - not listening for noises and guessing.
4
Spectrum analysis: abnormal noise and vibration go to spectral analysis: imbalance, misalignment, bearing damage and gear mesh each have characteristic frequencies, and the spectrum points straight at the lesion - far faster and far more accurate than trial-and-error parts swapping.
5
Fault tree deduction: complex systems are worked through layer by layer with a fault tree: from the symptom, list every possible cause, rank by probability and verification cost, and test and eliminate one by one. The investigation path is written down as a record, so a different person can pick it up without losing the thread.
6
Reporting and knowledge retention: every fault handled produces an analysis report: symptom, diagnostic path, root cause, treatment, preventive measures. Reports go into the equipment file, so when the same class of fault appears a second time the file answers directly - halving the handling time.

Common Questions

How does your diagnosis differ from an ordinary repairman's?

The difference is the path and the evidence. The ordinary approach is trial and error by experience - swap parts until it works, at the cost of wrongly replaced parts and drawn-out downtime. Our approach is measure first, judge second: spectra, temperature, current and insulation data are obtained first, the direction is fixed, and only then do we intervene - the probability of fixing it right the first time is far higher. Wrongly replaced parts cost money, and trial-and-error time costs even more.

What use are fault analysis reports to us?

Three uses: first, when the same class of fault recurs, the file answers directly instead of a fresh investigation; second, once the preventive measures in the report (inspection items, maintenance intervals, spares quality control) are implemented, the fault stops repeating; third, the annual consolidation shows which machines and which failure patterns the faults concentrate in, giving a basis for renewal and upgrade decisions. A report is not paper handed in to close a job - it is an asset.
