Projeto RCM da dobradeira de chapas hidráulica do laboratório de conformação do Campus Guarapuava

Abstract

Maintenance is a fundamental part of the production process and, with the growth of industrialization, it has received increasing attention, assuming a crucial role in production. Its main responsibility is to ensure that equipment operates within the desired specifications, maintaining its functionality, preventing breakdowns, and ensuring that each stage of the process occurs as planned. In this context, this study aims to create a maintenance plan for a hydraulic bending machine, using the principles of RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance). RCM is a systematic approach that aims to identify the maintenance activities necessary to sustain the availability and reliability of a production process, always taking into account the actual conditions in which the equipment operates. To assist in this assessment, the research employs FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis), a tool that identifies failure modes, effects, and possible causes in machine systems. The use of FMEA makes it possible to clearly visualize the critical points of the equipment, facilitating the development of preventive and corrective actions that minimize the probability of failures. Thus, the project aims to develop a maintenance plan that reduces unforeseen interventions, decreases impacts on production, and contributes to the consistent and safe operation of the asset.
