ABSTRACT
Lubrication is the process or technique employed to reduce the wear of one or both surface in close proximity. Most of the bear lubrication fail due to the too much or too less grease injected using manual lubrication. So, the PLC’s can be used to overcome the shortcomings PLC is mainly used to reduce the labor cost, power consumption, complication in circuits. When the crawler moves for 20 minutes the PLC switches on the grease motor which lubricates the bearings. When the entire crawler is lubricated, the PLC commands the changeover valve to lubricate the next crawler section …show more content…

Improper lubrication scenarios include the contamination of the lubricant by replacements and repair, excess lubricant and labor for inefficient manual practice. Some of the indirect, but very real costs are downtime or lost production; product spoilage due to excess lubricant; environmental, safety or housekeeping issues; and excess energy consumption. While grease guns and manual lubrication seem to get the job done for many maintenance operations, their benefits often cannot compare to those provided byan automated lubrication system in terms of productivity, environmental issues and worker safety. An automated lubrication system helps to prevent bearing failure by providing the right amount of the right (fresh, clean) lubricant at the right time to the right

    Some Lessons from the Assembly Line After reading through Some Lessons from The Assembly Line by Andrew Braaksma, I first believed that the main point of the story is to describe the author's experiences with Blue-collar work and college. One of the things I find interesting about this is how the author chooses to explain his thoughts on the topic via describing his own life experiences.

I reread the article and now believe that the main point is to show college students not only why college is important, but also how hard the alternative to college blue-collar life can be . The article's

    To establish the projects successfulness a set of tests were conducted, these tests observe and analyse every part of the prototype setup. The results to these tests are compared against the project aim and consequently are used to formulate a conclusion top the project. As set out in chapters 2 and 3 both the electrical/electronic and mechanical systems must meet a set of requirements; these requirements are based on the project objectives and deliverables. The tests conducted measure the prototypes adherence to these requirements, the tests provide data that can be formulated and examined to establish the functionality of each system. There are three types of tests carried out within this project, preliminary testing, functional testing and characterisation testing; each of type of tests examines the system in a greater depth than the preceding test type with characterisation testing being the most in-depth.
