After industrial revolution in the 18th century machines have become an integral part of our daily life. Today we use hundreds of machines ranging from as small machines as watches to as big machines as cranes etc. All these machines have significantly changed our lifestyle. Machines have considerably reduced the workload from mankind and have helped in quick and mass production of necessary items. So it becomes necessary that we properly maintain and commit ourselves for proper machinery caring so that they can efficiently and effectively serve their purpose.

For a machine to work properly and last long it becomes necessary that it is kept in utmost condition. The operators of the machines should be trained to use machinery caring aids. The process of machinery caring requires timely service of machine parts. The possible threats that may lead to deterioration or decrease in efficiency of a machine such as

Rust
Unconditional Power Failures
Dust
Friction
Excessive heat
Over load
Working continuously for more than prescribed time etc. should be avoided as far as possible.

Problem of rusting
Coming in way of machinery caring, rusting is the most common factor that damages the machine parts and decreases its life. Rusting is caused due to the direct contact of machine parts with the moisture and oxygen. Rusting can be avoided by keeping the machines away from water and by painting them so that they do not come in direct contact with the oxygen and moisture of the atmosphere.

Problem of friction
Other important factor that should be taken care of for effective machinery caring is friction. Friction causes the machine parts to get decayed with the passage of time. Friction generates lots of heat which decreases the life time of a machine. Friction can be reduced by using lubricants such as oil and grease. Lubricants can also be used to avoid rusting.

Proper machinery caring process requires that all the machinery parts be serviced time to time by trained technicians and machine operators be well trained to prevent occasional wear and tear of machine parts. A large sum of money can be saved by investing little bit in machinery caring leading to proper maintenance and safe operation of the machines.
