Preventive MaintenanceHighest uptime <strong>and</strong> lowest cost in your <strong>production</strong>Oil level decrease in small steps during operation <strong>and</strong> could end up in a destroyed pulse unit.Most of our customer have to replace the tool because of that.Recommended oil levelSPEED, TORQUEOptimalperformanceRisk of destroyed pulse unit100%OIL LEVELCustomer savings: GrindersA group of LSV38 grinders that had been in operation forabout 200 hours at a Nordic customer was tested.Tests were performed in our R&D laboratory both before<strong>and</strong> after preventive <strong>maintenance</strong> (PM).Result: After PM, power had increased by 16% <strong>and</strong> airefficiency had improved by 18%. This reduced energycosts <strong>and</strong> CO 2emissions by 18%.Youtube video: search for ”Energy savings throughPreventive Maintenance” or ”<strong>Atlas</strong> <strong>Copco</strong> LSV 38”Customer savings: Assembly toolsA group of 50 functioning Pulse <strong>Tool</strong>s sent in for <strong>maintenance</strong>was selected from our central repair shop. Thetools were tested before <strong>and</strong> after preventive <strong>maintenance</strong>(PM) on the same hard joint. The tightening time toshut-off was measured.Result: After PM the average tightening time decreased bymore than half (100%) resulting in a corresponding decreasein air consumption <strong>and</strong> CO 2emissions.Youtube video: search for ”Ergo Pulse <strong>Atlas</strong> <strong>Copco</strong>”13
