 FAILURE ANALYSIS.

Failure analysis is the process of collecting and analyzing data to determine the cause of
a failure, often with the goal of determining corrective actions or liability. According to Bloch
and Geitner, machinery failures reveal a reaction chain of cause and effect, usually a
deficiency commonly referred to as the symptom failure analysis can save money, lives,
and resources if done correctly and acted upon. It is an important discipline in many
branches of manufacturing industry, such as the electronics industry, where it is a vital tool
used in the development of new products and for the improvement of existing products.

The failure analysis process relies on collecting failed components for subsequent
examination of the cause or causes of failure using a wide array of methods,
especially microscopy and spectroscopy. Nondestructive testing (NDT) methods (such
as industrial computed tomography scanning) are valuable because the failed products are
unaffected by analysis, so inspection sometimes starts using these methods.

Breakdowns.

The failure of a component or machine failure equal to or greater than 10 minutes. It is a

system shutdown caused by a breakdown or a component malfunction and must be
replaced. It is when the system stops maintenance as:
 Setting parameters
 Make a regulation

A breaking down, wearing out, or sudden loss of ability to function efficiently, as of a

machine. A loss of mental or physical health; collapse. Compare nervous breakdown.

An analysis or classification of something; division into parts, categories, processes, etc.

Electricity. an electric discharge passing through faulty insulation or other material used to
separate circuits or passing between electrodes in a vacuum or gas-filled tube. A noisy,
lively folk dance.
Causes That Cause The Breakdowns.

1. Not reading the operator's manual.

Some farmers have never even opened the owner’s manual Most of what they need to
know is in there.

2. Improper maintenance.
Skipping daily maintenance is another mistake that can cause downtime. Bates says it is
important to grease all lube points daily and check engine oil and fluids such as
transmission fluid and urea or diesel exhaust fluid.

3. Poor electrical connections.

This problem is hard to prevent and is becoming more commonplace as more machinery is
electronically controlled. However, cleaning away dust and dirt around the connectors can
help. When cleaning, use compressed air instead of water to keep moisture away from the
wires.

4. Overrunning machines.
Constantly pushing machines to run at maximum performance or at the top of the
engineering curve can strain joints and cause equipment to die prematurely.

5. Not replacing worn parts.

When a part on a machine breaks, some customers will replace only that part and not
check or replace other parts that may have caused the initial failure.

6. Misaligned tighteners.
Tighteners that are not tracking straight with the belt or chain in relation to the main drives
can put tension on the belt or chain, causing it to break or wear excessively. It’s important
to replace worn bushings in the tightener pivot that may be pushing the belt or chain
sideways.
 7. Improper storage.
Combines and planters can build up dust and debris, which attract rodents. Rodents gnaw
on wires and the dust itself can interfere with electrical connections.

8. Weather-related issues.
Operating in wet, muddy conditions can put strain on equipment, Bates says.

9. Ignoring warning signals.

Warning lights on screens are there for a reason, often signaling issues that need to be
addressed, such as low hydraulic pressure, high engine temperature or a shaft that isn’t
turning.

10. Untrained operators.

As farms get larger, farm owners are having to hire outside help that may not be trained to
operate machinery. Lack of training can result in abused machinery and costly
breakdowns.

Solution Alternatives.

 Breakdown Maintenance.
It is maintenance performed on equipment that has broken down and is unusable. It is
based on a breakdown maintenance trigger. It may be either planned or unplanned.

An example of planned breakdown maintenance is run-to-failure maintenance, where an

organization has decided that letting a piece of equipment break down before servicing is
the most cost-effective and least disruptive option.

Examples of unplanned breakdown maintenance include corrective maintenance and

reactive maintenance. Corrective maintenance is performed when a breakdown occurs
between scheduled preventive maintenance occurrences. Reactive maintenance is
performed if a breakdown occurs because a maintenance strategy has not yet been put in
place.
