Abstract

General Background The pallet tilter machine serves as a critical support device in the manufacturing industry for tilting or inverting pallets to optimize material handling efficiency and operational ergonomics. Specific Background An electronic manufacturing company utilizes a pallet tilter machine in its final assembly area, yet frequent mechanical jams during operation lead to elevated downtime and diminished production efficiency. Knowledge Gap Although mechanical troubles frequently disrupt tilter operations, comprehensive investigations integrating direct diagnostic observations, bearing replacement, and guide plate fabrication are rarely documented together. Aims This study aims to identify the root causes of mechanical troubles in the pallet tilter machine and to design appropriate corrective solutions for performance optimization. Results Findings indicate that operational jamming stems primarily from worn bearings, debris accumulation, inadequate lubrication, and guide plate misalignment that disrupts smooth pallet entry into the bearing path. Novelty A targeted mechanical restoration approach is established by combining bearing replacement and guide plate reconfiguration with structured preventive maintenance routines. Implications Implementing these corrective solutions successfully restores smooth pallet movement, reduces mechanical failures, and enhances the operational stability of industrial tilter equipment.

Key Findings Highlights

  1. Worn bearings and misaligned guide plates are the primary triggers for mechanical jamming in production line pallet tilters.

  2. Replacing damaged components and integrating custom guide plates effectively restores seamless and stable pallet transfers.

  3. Establishing routine preventive maintenance procedures prevents recurring component degradation and maximizes operational efficiency.
