Yaskawa Servo Motor Repair

Yaskawa Servo Motor Repair

Yaskawaservo motor repair is less expensive than Yaskawa servo motor replacement. Only trained technicians should perform Yaskawa servo motor repair. Trained technicians undergo unique testing procedures on Yaskawa servo motors that are dependent to eachservo motors’ model, features, operations, and prints. Trained technicians will have the ability to perform these procedures successfully and safely. The first step of Yaskawa servo motor repair is the inspection of equipment for cosmetic damage or missing parts. Trained technicians take this step to ensure a successful repair is possible before proceeding further. Taking digital photos of the servo motor prior to further processing is also suggested.

Servo Motor nameplate data and preventative maintenance info should be collected by the technician and safely stored for future reference. Once these initial steps are complete, the servo motor should be meter tested before test running on a control panel; Meter testing prevents further damage to parts, motor winding, and insulation. The servo motor should then beconnected to a test panel to check EMF (electromagnetic frequency), encoder or resolver feedback, and commutation alignment; These standard tests are to ensure functionality, oncethe motor is installed forproduction. Servo motors also need to be tested with an oscilloscope to create an operation print. Once an operation printout is generated, a technicianwill check for connection issues, magnet failure, and winding failure. Once this is complete, the trained technician will perform a 100% component test to the servo motor. Once these tests are finished, the cost to repair and replace parts is estimated and labor is also determined. If the cost to repair the servo motor exceeds 50-60% of the cost to replace, the customer is offered a replacement quote. Otherwise, the technician can create a repairquote with lead time and communicate all pertinent information to the customer. Once the customer approves the repair quote, the technician will proceed with the repair.

Now, the technician will have an in-house machinist perform shaft and bearing housing repairs that are damaged. Old bearings are removed and saved for future reference. The technician will clean up and make repairs to all other damaged parts; replacement parts that cannot be repaired are ordered at this time. Finally, the technician will install new bearings and reassemble the servo motor for final testing. During the final test procedure, technicians should connect the motor to an inverter,with and without a load. Running the servo motor on an inverterensures complete functionality; Running the servo motor with a load will ensure full functionality once it is running in production. Testing with an inverter also allows verification that the servo can operate at full voltage and withstand full load amps of motor specifications. Yaskawa servo motor repair shops should work closely with all servo motor manufacturers. Working closely with servo motor manufacturers allows repair shops accessibility to servo motor data sheets, parts, and other valuableinformation. Repair technicians use data sheets to ensure that the servo motor performs equal to orbetter than, the original manufacturer standards.

Most Yaskawa servo motor repair shops offering servo motor repair don’t perform the repair themselves. These repair shops actually outsource the repair to a third party and then mark up the repair price to their customer. Outsourcing the servo motor repair is not a good idea. Outsourcing the repair is done when the repair shop does not have the ability or training to perform the servo motor repair. Repair shops use third party repair shops such as Precision Electric, because Precision Electric has been in the manufacturing industry since 1984 and their competent staff have the skills and training needed to perform these services. Most customers don’t find out that their repair shop is outsourcing the repair to Precision Electric until they contact the repair center asking technical questions. When this happens, the repair center is unable to communicate or provide technical information to the customer; and the repair center has their customer call Precision Electric for the answers they need.

This process ends up costing the manufacturer more money, time, and additional problems with their equipment. Manufacturers and other servo motor users should send their Yaskawa servo motor to the company that is actually performing the repair. This will save money, time and this will ensure a professional and high quality repair. Yaskawa servo motor repair from Precision Electric is performed in house and includes a 12 month in-service warranty.

Robotic Automation: ABB Robots For The Packaging Industry

Robotic Automation: ABB Robots For The Packaging Industry

ABB robotic automation ensures shorter product life cycles, new packaging designs, product variants and batch manufacturing. Compared to dedicated hard automation, robot lines are shorter and allow far better utilization of floor space. In addition to increased up-time and total throughput of production, fewer accidents and increasingly demanding workplace laws are compelling reasons to make the transition to ABB robotic automation. Robots are usually associated with handling repetitive tasks in a process either in high volume production roles or where flexible handling systems are needed for frequent changes. In the packaging industry, robots generally fall into three main areas:

 

  • Pick and Place Applications (where products are packed into trays or secondary packages)
  • Feed Placement (where products are prearranged on a conveyor to ease future packaging procedures)
  • Palletizing (pallet loading and unloading)

 

Picking

This is an area in which ABB services a multitude of products, applications and packaging line set-ups. Frozen food, bakery and confectionery, ice cream, meat and fish, cheese, pet food, medical products, shampoo and perfume bottles are a few examples. The ABB IRB 360 is the first 2nd generation delta robot; The FlexPickerTM . The new robot family will initially see three models available. Stainless steel versions are available for wash down duties such as in meat and dairy handling applications. Apart from even greater performance, the new delta robot has a significantly increased payload of up to 3 kg opening up further application possibilities, especially at the end of line. For full 6-axis flexibility, less demanding cycle times and payloads of up to 5 kg, ABB recommends the IRB 140.

Palletizing

Placing boxes, trays, bags, bottles or other items on a pallet seems easy enough. But, when youre dealing with the rigorous demands of multiple feeder lines, quick box-pattern changes and high up-time, nothing compares to ABB robotic automation. The ABB IRB 660 has the versatility, reach and handling capacity needed for most palletizing applications. For even greater payload requirements, ABB standard 6-axis robots are the largest and are built to handle as much as 1,433 lbs.

The IRB 660 is a refinement of the well established, proven, ABB IRB 640 palletizer, with more than 1,800 installations worldwide. The new version of this robot blends speed, reach and payload like no other. Exceptionally fast, this 4-axis performer combines a 3.15 meter reach with a 250 kg payload, making it ideal for palletizing bags, boxes, crates, bottles and more. The new palletizer comes in two versions; a high throughput version designed for 250 kg and a high-speed version built to handle 180 kg payloads at full speed. The IRB 660 has the versatility, reach and handling capacity to meet the demands of just about any palletizing application. And its robust enough to perform steadily in the toughest environments.

Tailor Made Robots For Demanding Packaging Industries

ABB robotic automation includes specialized robots for picking, packing and palletizing. In addition, ABB provides a wide range of standard 6-axis robots which allows customers to meet the demands of nearly all applications in the packaging industry. Whats more, ABBs unique packaging software, including vision technology and conveyor tracking, facilitates continuous production flows and packing on-the-fly. This allows for efficient handling of food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, electronics or personal care products.

High Speed Packing

The ABB FlexPicker IRB 360 is a unique parallel-arm robot designed for the most exacting high-speed picking and packing applications. The new robot succeeds ABBs widely used FlexPickerTM IRB 340 system and is the result of 10 years experience and research and development combined with proven packaging technology. ABB has over 2000 delta robots installed globally and is the leader in this state of the art picking and packing technology. The newest version of the IRB 340 is called the FlexPickerTM IRB 360.

Cost Efficient Packing

The 4-axis IRB 260 houses all the necessary features for placing items in boxes, tray handling and more. Optimized for packing applications this robot can work closely to its own base, allowing very compact packing cells and integration into tight packing machines. IRB 260

features a 30 kg payload capacity and short cycle times to meet the packing industry requirements. Like all ABB robots, the IRB 260 is compatible with PickMaster, our dedicated software for packaging applications, including vision guidance and easy programming.

Food Safety & Pharmaceutical

ABB builds robots to meet the most demanding work conditions as well as the highest hygiene standards. In addition, all ABB robots are IP67 certified, ensuring tightly sealed joints and connectors. The IRB 360, which is most likely to handle open food, is available in wash-down and stainless steel and is IP69K certified.
