In the paper is analyzes the appearance failures press and monitoring of possible irregularities in the work with the task of analyzing failures and damage important elements presses. One of the elements analyzed in terms of failures is the drum of press. The applied strategy is to maintain the state of the control parameters and which provides continuous or periodic control and measuring of technical parameters which determine the state of the constituent components or systems. The decision to hold shall be taken when the values of controlled parameters reach the limit of usability, and to a critical level. Preventive replacement drum reduce the possibility of breakage of the drum that caused unsatisfactory dimension tiles, irregular presses or worst-case breakdown of the system. In the event of average system costs would be several times higher compared to the preventive replacement.
