KOMATSU FAILURE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Preventive maintenance is an important strategy to ensure reliable and continuous operation of Komatsu construction equipment. This type of maintenance minimizes unexpected malfunctions of machines and is usually based on regularly planned activities.

Preventive maintenance on Komatsu construction equipment is important to optimize the performance of construction equipment and ensure their longevity. Effective implementation of this process can reduce operating costs and increase business continuity.

Here are the general principles of preventive maintenance on Komatsu construction machines:

Creating a Maintenance Program: A program is created that includes regular maintenance activities within a certain calendar or operating hours. This program is customized according to the features of the work machine, frequency of use and working conditions.

Condition Monitoring and Analysis: Komatsu construction equipment can use condition monitoring sensors for engines, hydraulic systems and other important components. These sensors collect data about the machine’s performance. By analyzing the data, potential problems are detected in advance.

Predictive Maintenance: Based on the condition monitoring results, a possible malfunction condition on the machine is predicted in advance. Predictive maintenance involves planned interventions to prevent or correct potential problems.

Parts and Wear Control: The wear status of certain parts and systems is checked regularly. This especially includes critical components such as tracks, gears, braking systems. When worn parts are detected, repair or replacement is carried out in a planned manner.

Cleaning and Lubrication: Keeping work machines clean and lubricating them regularly at necessary points reduces wear and friction, reducing the possibility of malfunction.

Training and Knowledge Transfer: Operational personnel are given training on preventive maintenance processes. This allows personnel to participate more effectively in machine maintenance processes.

Documentation and Record Keeping: Detailed records are kept regarding the maintenance activities performed and the measures taken. These records help with future planning by providing reference to past maintenance activities.
