Resumo

Torque limitation is a crucial part of preventive maintenance as well as productivity. Downtime is expensive both from broken components point of view as well as from lost production. Therefore it is very important that the Safeset torque limiting couplings are overhauled regularly to maintain the extreme accuracy. Voith Group of Companies, develop torque limiting, transmitting and monitoring systems to ensure full productivity and optimized driveline design and torque limit setting. We also make sure that the products are working with their full potential during the whole life time, by performing pro-active maintenance on site, or in one of our Service centres, spread over the world. We can also offer a full scale torque test on your mill, and thereby finding the optimal setting for even more accurate protection of the drive line. By analysing the unique torque dynamics of your drive line, we will ensure that you can work as close as possible to the maximum output of your mill, without exposing the drive line for a torque higher than the design limit. During on-site service we also train your personnel to make sure that their handling of the Safeset is correct and fast, so that the production can be resumed at shortest possible time. In this paper we are going to present the successful intervention hold in the Columbus’ plate mill in South Africa in the year 2012.
