The problem most often ignored by maintenance managers and even their superiors when preparing and implementing a predictive maintenance strategy is the efficiency and expertise of the motor shops that repair their equipment. It is of utmost importance to the shop which will be responsible for helping you maintain a successful and productive facility.

Motor repair facilities are not all identical, and the quality of repair and rewind services offered by stores can be influenced by several issues. Most reputable installations for motor repair would welcome your visit, so go unannounced and pay attention to how you are received. Make a checklist of what you want to look for and which questions you want to ask before you go. Note, your electromechanical repair facility and its adherence to generally agreed requirements are dependent on the safe and efficient operation of your plants and factories.

Qualified Electric Motor Technicians in Melbourne

Your motor shop, including pumps, gearboxes, fans and blowers, should be able to fix your entire rig. In order to promote the production of parts that may be outdated or unavailable, some advanced stores may also have specialized equipment

The Equipment and Services Provided Electric Motor Repair Shop

Check out test equipment for the plant. Motor shops must be able to conduct the necessary electrical and mechanical tests and to comply with all requirements agreed by the industry. The shop can deliver winding surges and high-potential testing with current test equipment in compliance with the EASA and IEEE electrical testing and mechanical tolerance requirements. Before and after any heating

cycles, including bake-out and burn-out procedures, core loss testing should be recorded. Cores may be harmed by excessive or insufficient heating, which will result in lost productivity and lead to early failure. You should expect to receive computer-generated results reports before during and after repairs; digital images should be included in these reports.

Will a third-party calibration provider get all the measuring and test equipment tested and approved annually by the shop? Each "tool" should be annually recertified and reported by a trained provider of services.

The importance of Warranty

A substantial warranty policy should be provided, and it should be expected that the local Better Business Bureau would be a member in good standing. Effective shops will be an active member of their local community and as through work with fire and police departments, support the local infrastructure.

Perhaps the people are the most significant feature of any quality repair facility. Highly trained and skilled technicians, mechanics, and winders should be used. On a regular basis, they should be trained, retrained and modified. The sharing with newcomers of "tribal knowledge" should not only be encouraged but expected.

Get To Know Electric Motor Repair Shop Technicians

Get to know shop staff and make sure that the test criteria are understood and adhered to. By listening to how individuals communicate about their services, their employees, and their colleagues, you will learn a lot. Good shops keep good employees, so ask the mechanics and winders how long they've been working there. Good people live where they are well handled and relaxed, and so it goes that good leadership is surrounded by good people. Managers who empower and inspire their staff and those who give staff an opportunity to foster good collaboration in an expressive manner.
