How it Works
Challenge:
Vacuum capacitor failures can cause downtime and reduce throughput. The ability to estimate mechanical life consumed/remaining would enable more accurate prediction of required maintenance cycles.Solution:
PowerInsight data consultants created and embedded an algorithm to estimate the mechanical life consumed and/or remaining for the vacuum capacitors found within AE RF matching networks. The reliability/survival model uses the actual movements of the capacitors as they tune to balance the load as the primary input; small "dithering" movements have little to no impact on vac-cap lifespans over time, whereas large movements (typically exceeding 50% of the range) have a significant, negative impact on lifespan — the relationship is highly non-linear. The dashboard publishes the estimated life remaining (upper left panel) and projected days remaining until a maintenance service should be performed (upper right panel), assuming the recorded usage patterns continue. The algorithm employs a statistical learning method to adjust its estimates as usage patterns change or evolve.
