    CTS Report

    The CTS Hour Meter Reading report and CTS Remaining Life report provide more useful information for managing undercarriage than the CTS Percent Worn report. The Hour Meter Reading and Remaining Life reports project when each component will reach 100% and 120% wear, allowing technicians to plan maintenance and replacements. By finding the first component to reach 100% and grouping other necessary services, technicians can estimate a maintenance date and avoid unnecessary downtime.

    Using CTS Reports To Manage Undercarriage

    The CTS Percent Worn report, shown above in “Simple”, “Detailed”, and “Graph” format options, is
    the most commonly used report. This is an excellent report to share with customers to give them a
    status report on a machine’s undercarriage. This report is not intended to be the single source of in-
    formation when attempting to manage undercarriage.
    Problems with using this report to manage undercarriage include:
    • If components are replaced at different times, the percent worn values cannot be compared. On
    this report, for example, the link assemblies were replaced more recently than the other
    components.
    • Some components need maintenance at 100% worn (turn bushings) while others need to be re-
    placed at 120% worn (carrier rollers). This makes it difficult to compare the percent worn values
    for different components.
    • These problems commonly cause PSSRs to measure undercarriage more often than necessary
    to check on the status of the undercarriage.

    Using CTS Reports To Manage Undercarriage

    The CTS Hour Meter Reading report shown above in “Detailed” format, from the CTS computer pro-
    gram, is probably the most valuable report for managing undercarriage. On the right side of the
    page the hour meter reading is projected for each component to 100% and 120%. Reference the
    120% projection for components that will be replaced (links, rollers, sprockets) and 100% for com-
    ponents to be serviced (bushings, shoes, idlers).
    Find the first component requiring service or replacement. For this machine that component is the
    right side bushing at an hour meter reading of 9,055. Next determine if other components should be
    serviced at the same time. Perhaps the carrier rollers should be replaced, idlers should be welded.
    If the customer wants to avoid additional downtime, the track rollers could be replaced.
    Estimate the date of the service by subtracting the projected hour meter reading of the bushing
    from the current hour meter reading then dividing the result by the hours per week. For this

    machine, subtracting 8,371 from 9,055 then dividing the result (684 hours) by 50 hours per week
    gives us 12 weeks (three months).
    Advantages of using this report to manage undercarriage include:
    • The PSSR and customer have an expectation (the projected hour meter reading) as to when the
    next maintenance is to be expected.
    • Grouping of maintenance points is simplified.
    • An estimated date of the next service or next inspection can be calculated.

    The CTS Remaining Life report shown above in “Detailed” format, from the CTS computer program,
    is another valuable report for managing undercarriage. On the right side of the page the remaining
    life is projected for each component to 100% and 120%. Reference the 120% projection for

    components that will be replaced (links, rollers, sprockets)and 100% for components to be serviced
    (bushings, shoes, idlers).
    Find the first component requiring service or replacement. For this machine that component is the
    right side bushing, with a remaining life of 684 hours. Next determine if other components should be
    serviced at the same time. Perhaps the carrier rollers should be replaced, idlers should be welded.
    If the customer wants to avoid additional downtime, the track rollers could be replaced.
    Estimate the date of the service by dividing the remaining life by the hours per week. For this ma-
    chine, dividing 684 hours by 50 hours per week gives us 12 weeks (three months).
    Advantages of using this report to manage undercarriage include:
    • The PSSR and customer have an expectation (the remaining hours)as to when the next mainte-
    nance is to be expected.
    • Grouping of maintenance points is simplified.
    • Estimating the date of the next service or next inspection is easy.
