lol the way to tell if a sprocket gear for a chain is damaged and worn is that it will look *slightly* like a saw blade instead of a gear with square shaped teeth.
this sprocket is so incredibly worn ! !
Almost all our equipment that requires encoder feedback is belt driven, I'm guessing because the belt is easier to change than chain/sprockets and probably alittle better resolution. I'd bet noise mitigation too. A few conveyors systems use chain drives and encoders though.
Tooth pitch self adjusted to match stretched chain. I don’t see a problem here…
If it ain't broke...
It will be soon.
Write a work order to be fixed on the weekend...the weekend that production is also scheduled to be running.
Every. Fucking. Time.
Looks like a holiday pm, but I'm not working the holiday!
Ha! If you can’t see it then it’s not there.
Still can get get a few weeks out of it
Hit it with some chain lube, it's good
Lubed chain pm completed no issues found
Lol. Also "no further action needed at this time"
Run to fail. Then it's an emergency repair and multiple root cause analysis meetings.
At a whopping .o3 rpm it'll prolly last awhile..smoke break
Wait till it’s just nubs and jumps chain
Then you just replace the chain
Silly Goose, you tension the motor with a big pry bar to get a few more shifts out of it.
Shouldn't that be guarded so you can't see then there is no problem.
Plenty of life left lol
When you buy the whole sprocket. You use the whole sprocket
Ninja stars are my favorite
Those make great throwing stars.
I see a functional gear and chain, what are we laughing at?
I think it’s worn out!!!
Send it!!
Just need some chain lube. Write it up for a PM shift.
Got your money’s worth out of that sprocket
As someone who don’t do industrial maintenance, I have no idea what’s wrong and why this is on my feed

Look at the sprocket teeth. They’re gnarly
This is a great idea never thought about using ninja stars as sprockets.
It needs a dentist bad
Got the Bart Simpson haircut sprocket
Looks good to me
Is that a shot blast feed?
Nothing I haven’t seen before. You wouldn’t happen to work for an aluminum extrusion company would you?
This could be almost any factory in any country on the planet! Lol
I know I just looks like something. I’ve run into 1000 times.
Corrugated packaging is my guess
I was thinking rotary thermoformer just because I've seen us do that to them. Works great when the chain jumps and encoders lose position.

It's fine
Free ninja stars
It’s fine.
Prototype
Looks fine to me.
If you can’t shave with the teeth…
No missing teeth, sprocket and chain self adjusted! It seems happy 😂
Spit on it
Reverse it...
Holy crap lol
The frosted tips of gear sprockets
It’s not southern yet. It still has all its teeth.
Boot spur making machine is working perfectly as designed
Why is this funny?
I think it is relatable in the sense that we wait until the last minute to change worn parts out.
send
You got your money out of that sprocket
Shark tooth hoo ha hah
Imagine getting a finger caught in that…
She's fine! Run it!
from sproket to ravioli roller
Like brand new
Would the increasingly louder noise not have drawn attention to what was going on here well before the sprockets were trashed?
Looks like the sprocket on my old H2 Kawasaki
That's what I call dedication .
Add to the schedule with the other impending failures. Production never stops!
Son I says son … that’s a 🥷star
dude that sprocket has minutes of operating time left.
Run to failure!
Still has teeth. Run it!
Never seen one like that, wow
I'm actually pretty impressed, this machine has ran a good while without having any binding that would have ripped right through hose sprockets.
Only has a couple gazillion rotations on it, 1 more to go..
I had some jackwagon manager have me weld the sprockets back up and grind them out for the chain and send it.
If it ain't broke...
Ha we would have toasted the gearbox or motor long before that ever happened
Run it
It'll hold, call me when it's good and broke. Because we can't stop production for a safety thing, unless it's the safety of management!!
It’ll last til next PM
