Machine Audits On-site expert performance analysis with recommended actions Husky experts work with customers to identify and resolve equipment performance issues. Benefits • Husky machine audits help understand performance gaps and potential solutions • Implementation of audit recommendations optimize performance • Planned maintenance to maintain optimum performance Features • Ideal for machines more than 3 years old • Safety audit check points • Energy utilization measurement • Oil contamination measurement and analysis • Recommended actions to help restore machine to as-shipped condition Studies of hundreds of machine audits have shown that if not properly maintained the performance of injection molding machines degrades over time. Our analysis has shown that over the course of a 10 year period, performance degradation averages 17%. The Husky® machine audit program identifies performance gaps and recommends courses of action to make a customer’s older machine perform like new again. Husky machine audit Machine audits are a valuable way for customers to understand if their injection molding machines are running at peak performance. This is achieved by performing a gap analysis, which helps to define recommended actions that will restore machinery back to its as-shipped condition. The audit consists of a technical evaluation and a predictive audit to detect possible failure sources that can affect machine reliability. This is an opportunity for customers to gain insight into factors that may be affecting overall productivity targets. Prior to visiting the customer, performance data and other information, such as safety and service bulletins, are gathered and call logs are reviewed. Any previously recommended upgrades or enhancements are examined to see what may have already been implemented. In addition, model and serial numbers for the machine are required, allowing us to fully research any customizations in advance.

Summary list of audit check points Each audit check point is rated on a scale of pass, fail, not applicable. In many categories the technician will take photographs, applicable screen shots or other images that will be included in the report to support the written documentation. Check points range from safety focused elements to specific measurements of the machine for energy utilization and oil contamination. Audit checkpoints include: • Safety issues (verification of safety interlocks, all applicable safety bulletins examined) • System visual inspection (hydraulic/water/ air leakage,...
