‘’TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE SYSTEM OF MACHINES AND MECHANISMS’’
Abstract
This article examines the principles and significance of the technical maintenance system applied to machines and mechanisms in industrial production. The main purpose of the study is to describe how properly organized maintenance activities contribute to improving equipment performance, reducing breakdowns, and ensuring continuous operation of technological processes.The paper explores the main types of maintenance, including preventive, scheduled, and corrective maintenance. It also considers modern approaches such as condition-based monitoring and predictive maintenance supported by digital technologies and automated control systems.Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of timely maintenance in increasing the reliability, safety, and efficiency of industrial equipment. The results indicate that an effective maintenance system helps to reduce operational costs, minimize downtime, and extend the service life of machines and mechanisms.
