Issues

The sudden failure of servo amplifiers causes unexpected downtime.

Solution

Use the service life diagnosis for servo systems

Using the GOT Servo Amplifier Life Diagnosis function, it is possible to check the accumulated energization time of smoothing capacitors and the number of times the inrush relay has been turned on and off, therefore helping users understand when servo amplifiers need to replaced.
There are also functions for inverters and robots*1 to check when maintenance parts should be replaced.
Please refer to the GOT2000 Series Product and Solution Introduction (P. 32) for more information.

*1 The degree of wear for each part is a reference value calculated from the operation status of the robot and is used for supporting the maintenance and inspection plan. It does not guarantee service life.
*2 Ready to use sample screens (VGA) are included in GT Works3. For the details, please contact your local sales office.

Benefits

Planned maintenance is made possible by understanding the repair and replacement timing of servo amplifiers in advance
