The positioner can be mechanically healthy and still be the wrong machine, because the loaded weld procedure is not the one on the traveler. Maintenance records the revision and the cycle count. It does not invent a schedule, and a mismatch is a nonconformance.
ChatterFix builds these as child assets under circumferential weld positioner, so failure history and PM completions attach to the component that actually failed — not just to the machine.
The failure modes worth designing a maintenance schedule around — in rough order of what they cost when they happen.
Recording that a PM was "done" tells you nothing next quarter. These are the readings that let you see a failure coming — and the reason ChatterFix captures measurements against the asset rather than just completions.
The parts whose absence turns a short repair into a long outage.
The PMs ChatterFix schedules against this equipment, with intervals and time estimates.
