Need and motivation of the project:
Several start-up mines have had problems getting production process utilization rates to meet the target levels quickly enough. During the first production months and years, maintenance operation tends to be more like a corrective than preventive maintenance. Maintenance costs in mines are 20-44% of the total operating cost. In addition, poor maintenance causes significant production losses. Poor maintenance also increases the environmental impacts of the mine. Harsh environment and varying operation conditions complicate reliable condition monitoring of mobile machines in underground mining industry.
Main set targets:
The main goal of this project was to develop a condition-based maintenance model, which can be implemented easily and rapidly in mining companies with light maintenance organization. The model utilizes predictive prognostic, condition-based monitoring technologies and necessary maintenance software. The project was divided in two main parts: the development of maintenance model (processes) and the condition-based maintenance research (technology). As a result, the project was targeted to increase reliability and productivity and decrease environmental impacts and energy consumption in the mining industry. In the underground mining, condition monitoring and stress evaluation of a load haul dumper front axle was focused on analyzing cumulative effects for the damage prediction.
