Ensuring the Operability and Reliability of Packaging Equipment at Life Cycle Stages

The authors deal with the task of technological maintenance of operability and reliability of packaging equipment at life cycle stages, including its designing, manufacturing and operation. To improve the wear resistance of the most loaded mobile nodes of the lever-hinged gripping device of a packaging machine, a new composite material with upgraded technological and operational characteristics has been obtained, on the basis of studying the physical model of boundary friction. The paper presents the results of investigations of the plasma coating from the developed material.
