Defining a Theoretical Model of Wear - Caused Failure of Tool Machine Elements

Abstract

This paper considers production equipment failures caused by wear. A short overview is given on the results of statistically processed data on production equipment failures, gained by observing 20 representative and, from the point of view of failure frequency, problematic machine elements. The goal of this research is to detect the current equipment condition having in mind reliability and create a theoretical base for optimal renewal part stock planning.
