Repotenciación y Planificación del Mantenimiento del Hidrocopiador del Torno Johannes Kossmann del Taller Básico de la Facultad de Mecánica de la ESPOCH.

Abstract

In the ESPOCH the permanent actualization of existing lab equipment has become necessary to facilitate mechanization carrying out re-powering and hydro-copier of the Johannes Kossmann lathe of the basic workshop of the ESPOCH Mechanics Faculty so that the students apply the acquired knowledge of the academic pensum. Moreover practical guides and a series of theoretical complements which would help understand the importance of the copy lathes. The development starts with an analysis of the actual situation of the hydro-copier to diagnose the element condition as well as the maintenance used at the moment and the basic workshop work documentation. Later, a hydro-copier mounting process is carried out. Features, basic parameters to be used for its corresponding rating and functioning tests to assure the equipment optimum conditions are described. A preventive maintenance plan using adequate procedures to avoid breaking down and security observations to be carried out by the operator/students were elaborated. It is very important that at the moment of carrying out the corresponding practices the operator be completely trained or assisted by a professional with a basic knowledge on the equipment handling. Moreover, the established in the maintenance program must be accomplished to conserve and lengthen the equipment service life.
