Abstract
Provides examples of duty variability based on field tests conducted during ordinary operating conditions. A severity‐based maintenance approach is introduced as complementary to the reliability‐centred maintenance initiatives currently being introduced in various mining companies. The essential component of this approach is a series of equipment monitors (called “dutymeters”) that continuously monitor and log the real duty on the machine as well as some machine parameters that can be used for machine health diagnostics. Describes application of this concept to a range of machinery including draglines, shovels, haul trucks and longwall equipment.
