USSR ELECTRIC REGISTER FOA RECORDING
MACRINE TOOL OPERATING TIME
Production equipment in the USSR is repaired according to a PPR (preventive
maintenance) system. The basic principle of all existing PPR systems is a
specified length of periods between repairs and of repair cycles and a specified
order oi' rotation for various types of repair. In the majority of existing PPR
systems, the lengths of periods between repairs and of repair cycles are calcu-
lated in calendar months or, nt a number of plants, in hours that each machine
tool has actually worked.
It has been found that recording the operating time is the best way to
determine the actual wear of machine tool mechanisms.
A special electric register can be used to record the time that each
machine tool has been in operation. There are several designs of such time
registers. An electric time register [see Item 1 of graphite material) is being
used at one plant and consists of two basic parts: an SD-2 synchronous electric
motor and a registering mechanism.
The mechanism of the register is enclosed in a box with u window for read-
ing the register [see Item 2 of graphics material].
The electric motor of the register is connected to the circuit and is
switched on or off simultaneously with the electric motor of the machine-tool or
spindle drive. Zn the spindle drive, a terminal switch is used.
The register Ss mounted on the headstock of a machine tool, on the bed, or
on any other suitable place.
The register shows the total of machine tool operating time in minutes (up

The number of hours that a machine tool has operated cach month is entered
on a repair card.
The readings of the time register on the repair card give a graphic picture
of the actual work load of each machine tool.
