Common Failures
Frequently reported issues include Z-axis errors at higher speeds, which manifest as a blinking yellow light and require a full reboot. These problems are often attributed to faulty bus capacitors, with symptoms such as oily residue and value discrepancies identified during diagnostics.
Repair Approach
Our repair approach typically involves replacing worn electrolytic capacitors, especially bus capacitors, and performing diagnostic testing. In cases involving refurbished units, critical parameters from the original drive are copied and verified. Missing components, such as terminal screws, are also addressed during the repair process.
Testing & Quality Assurance
Before units are returned, they undergo burn-in testing with motors. The testing process includes loading and verifying both test and customer-specific programs. Any detected discrepancies in parameter files are resolved with customer consultation to ensure accuracy.
