Repair And Exchange Of Servo Amplifier In Industrial Electronics


It is essential to include the exchange programs when deciding about the right company to select for repairing industrial electronics or servo motors. This is because these companies that is on the exchange program send a motor that works to help the customer to continue their normal life activities using this replacement till they repair the part. It is possible to continue working till the repaired unit is returned.

Factor in this consideration regarding the exchange program when you decide about the best service company for industrial repairs. You can continue to work without interruptions at the facility where you work as well as benefit with great savings. You will only be paying a fraction of the cost when you repair and use remanufactured parts instead of brand new motors.

It is not necessary to wait when the repairs are being carried out when one is using the exchange process. The remanufactured spare part is used to replace the malfunctioning part and help continue to run the facility smoothly. It is not necessary to maintain a huge inventory of various machine parts in case one of them does not function properly.

The advantage is that your facility continues to function with the backing of the industrial repair company. These types of servo motor exchange and repair companies enable people to avoid incurring huge costs for maintaining inventories by providing equipment from their inventory. They prefer to collaborate with companies that use the exchange facility for repair as well as delivery. Given below are some methods used by industrial repair companies in the exchange process

·         The website of the company can be visited and the exchange form filled
·         The full price for the remanufactured unit should be paid upfront
·         Downtime is eliminated as the item is quickly shipped
·         The malfunctioning motor is quickly returned to the repair company after boxing it up when the remanufactured item is received for efficient motion control
·         Once this item having malfunctions are received, the customer credit for the item is issued by the company

Make sure you collaborate with a company that offers and deals with equipment such as spindle, servo motor, servo amplifier, VFD drive, monitor, spindle amplifier, power supply and so on. This equipment should also work with electronic manufacturers such as Indramat, Allen Bradley, Yaskawa, Siemens, Fanuc and Xycom. These companies also serve as a one stop solution for every requirement and you can avoid running to different repair services every time you run into a problem.


What Is Motion Control?


Motion control is sub field of automation. This controls the position or the velocity of the machinery. To do this it uses device like a linear actuator, electric motor, hydraulic pump or generally a servo motor.  This is a very important part of robotics and CNC machine tools. This is a very complex system as the kinematics in these machines is usually very simple. Motion control is used greatly in packaging, textile, semi conductor, printing and assembly lines.

The basic design of the motion control is as follows. The control is set to generate set points for the desired outcome and to close positions or velocity (the feedback loop). The signal is then changed into an electrical current by a drive or an amplifier. This is then delivered to the actuator. (An actuator is for motion output and can be a hydraulic pump, electric motor or a linear actuator.)  Some newer models are more accurate because they can close the position internally. 

Feedback sensors such as Hall Effect devices or optical encoders are used to close the position of the actuator bring it back to the motion control. The mechanical components then change the motion into a required movement. This can include shifting, belts, ball screw, gears, and linkages linear or rotational bearings. When co-ordinated motion is required the interface between the motion controllers are critical. They have to provide tight synchronisation.

There are some common control features and these include position control (this is often based on the velocity profiles for example S-curve or triangular profile.), velocity, electronic gearing (also known as cam profiling) this is where the master axis and the position of the slave axis are mathematically linked. For example, when two rotating drums turn at a set ratio to one another, there is also electronic camming and this is where the slave axis abides by a profile that is the job of the master as this does not need to be salted but it has to be animated. There is also pressure and force control.

Motion controllers are used in an array of different industries to help produce and make most of the things we use every day. They help do the jobs that are hard labour for humans and assist in increasing productivityThere are several companies that globally sell these controls. They develop, manufacture and market servo drives and systems. Their products are predominantly brushless controls; however they do provide drives for alternate motor types. They also provide standard products and can customize to suit your needs.
