Redefining Reliability

Site diagnosis

 

UNDERSTANDING THE REAL CAUSE

Understand the failure before engineering the solution

Recurring equipment failures are rarely solved by replacing the same component again. MASPRO Site Diagnosis investigates how and why components fail in real operating conditions, identifying recurring failure modes and isolating root causes before any solution is engineered.

By understanding operating loads, wear patterns, site conditions and how failures interact across the equipment system, we establish the evidence needed to address the source of the problem, not just the symptoms.

The MASPRO Approach

Our site diagnosis process

Every operation is different. Our Site Diagnosis process establishes the operating context, identifies the failure mechanism and validates the evidence before an engineering response is recommended.

01 — UNDERSTAND THE OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

We gather information about the equipment, application, operating conditions, component history and site constraints to understand the context in which the reliability challenge occurs.

02 — IDENTIFY THE FAILURE MODE AND ROOT CAUSE

Our engineers analyse wear patterns, operating loads and system interactions to understand how the failure occurred, identify recurring failure modes and isolate the factors driving them.

03 — VALIDATE THE FINDINGS

Findings are validated against real operating conditions and available performance evidence, establishing a clear engineering basis for what happens next.

WHY SITE DIAGNOSIS?

Better insight.
Better reliability decisions.

Better reliability decisions start with evidence, not assumptions.

ROOT CAUSE IDENTIFICATION

Understand why failures occur rather than repeatedly replacing components without addressing the cause.

SYSTEM-LEVEL UNDERSTANDING

See how loads, wear, component interactions and operating conditions contribute to failure across the equipment system.

EVIDENCE-BASED ENGINEERING DECISIONS

Use field evidence to determine the appropriate engineering response and support longer-term reliability planning.

Context and Issue

High-utilisation surface blast hole drilling operation. Abrasive conditions. Continuous duty cycle. Production-critical fleet. ​

The Epiroc D65 units were central to daily meter targets. ​


Solution

MASPRO’s engineering analysis identified the axial movement driving internal fatigue at the gear-to-spindle interface. The assembly wasn’t the problem — the load distribution across it was.

WE DIDN’T REINFORCE THE COMPONENT. WE REDESIGNED HOW FORCE MOVES THROUGH IT.
