Executive Summary
When a heavy machine goes down, the only thing that matters is how fast it comes back up, and that depends on how readily available the parts are. This machine runs Rexroth hydraulics, which means the parts are available immediately. It is a modernized, proportional, processor-based hydraulic system rather than the older systems many operations still run, and because the components are so readily available, you do not see downtime tied to them.
What Actually Determines Tear-Out Machine Downtime?
In this industry, the most important thing about these machines is what happens when they break down: how fast you can get the machine back up and how readily available the parts are. That single factor, parts availability, is what separates a quick recovery from a machine sitting idle.
How Does a Rexroth Hydraulic System Reduce Downtime?
This machine has Rexroth hydraulics on it, and by going with that system everything is available immediately. The Rexroth components are so readily available that you never see any downtime tied to them.
What Makes a Modern Hydraulic System Different From Older Machines?
This is a modernized hydraulic system compared to the older machines that many people still run. It uses an up-to-date proportional hydraulic system that is processor-based, rather than the dated hydraulics found on a lot of equipment in the field.
What Does a Processor-Based Hydraulic System Make Possible?
Because the system is processor-based, it opens the door to machine control technology down the road. At some point in the future, that control technology can be easily applied to the machine.
