Welcome
Since R&T’s inception in the year 2000 R&T Reliability Technologies P/L has been developing, refining and implementing visual oil and grease analysis and micro imaging systems for leading manufacturing sites throughout Australia and the Asia Pacific region.
R&T is a visual laboratory, R&T inspects oil samples with powerful video microscopes identifying any contaminates or abnormalities and providing R&T customers with visual images of any contamination and abnormal wear occurring in the equipment under their care. The showing of wear debris contamination images to the Equipment Maintainer provides an immediate understanding of how the machine is wearing abnormally. Once advice from the R&T analysis report has been completed the Equipment Maintainer can also see the resulting reduction in abnormal wear due to their maintenance work.
For R&T to provide accurate advice we need to understand the site operating conditions with an onsite visit with maintenance staff as this visit always provides valuable information as is very important that plant and equipment operating conditions are fully understood by the oil analysis lab.
R&T’s involvement with actual oil sampling and remedial oil changing work has allowed R&T to research the most efficient way of guiding plants back to normal wear and to assist in this area, R&T has developed simple systems that guide the maintenance staff to easily visually monitor all the plant items under their care.
R&T is always interested in training onsite maintenance people in the how to of setting up oil and equipment condition monitoring systems. When assisting plants we also anticipate providing ongoing verbal instructional advice for Maintenance Staff when ever our information and experience can be of assistance.
During the development and refining of these processes R&T has become proficient at Setting up Plant Reliability Programs, Electronic Imaging of plant and equipment, Providing Reliability Advice, Testing and Evaluation of Machinery Failures, Providing Failure Reports, Root Cause Failure Analysis and Rectification Procedures.
This system is not restricted to oil samples. R&T are processing large numbers of solid samples from contaminated filters right through to a full in lab metallurgical reports via Metaltech laboratory who work in association with R&T. Metaltech’s managing director is Mr Greg Cox. Greg was Lab Manager and Chief Metallurgist for Scientific Services NSW State Rail Laboratory which closed 36 months ago. Since the demise of Scientific Services, Metaltech was formed and Greg’s lab is in the R&T complex.
