Repair of Okuma Servo and Spindle Drives

Okuma Servo and Spindle Drives

We test and repair Okuma Servo and Spindle Drives
In addition, we also offer services for Okuma Motors.

We specialize in the following series:

  • BLII-D, BLIII-D and BLIV-D modules such as: BLII-D7575A, BLIII-30A, BLIV-D5030A
  • Spindle drive modules VACIII, VACIV and MIP such as: VACIII-D6, VACIII-D22, VACIV-D22, MIP-11
  • MIV servo, spindle, power supply such as e.g: MIV0303-1-B5, MIV15-3-V1, MIV08-1-B1, MPS30

Our repair process is preventative and includes a series of steps to ensure high repair quality.

Failure Analysis and Localization

What can you do?

Possible Causes of Servo Module Errors

Possible Solutions and Tips

  • Reconnect the motor as a test.
  • Check cable connections.
  • Run in jog mode without load.

If these measures do not help, the error is usually located in the drive modules power stage.

Further error messages can be found in the alarm list available for download at the end of this page.

Possible Solutions and Tips

  • Warm the device with an external source. If it then turns on, this indicates a weak power supply that needs repair.
  • Check fuses
  • Check power supply of 3 x 200 or 220 volts depending on the model.

The Typical Process of Repairing Yaskawa Servo Modules

The Repair Process for Servo Modules Includes the Following Steps

  • Preventive overhaul - replacement of all necessary defective and worn parts.
  • Intensive cleaning.
  • Comprehensive final and load tests at our test stands.
  • Parameter matching or restoration of parameters.
  • Completion of documentation and checklists.

High-Quality Replacement Parts for High-Quality Repairs

For Okuma Servo and Spindle Drives, We Replace

  • Electrolytic capacitors
  • Large buffer capacitors
  • Relays
  • Current measurement modules
  • Optocouplers

Additionally, we replace certain components that have proven to be particularly prone to failure over several repairs and are therefore replaced preventively based on our many years of experience.

To counteract shortages and obsolescence, we have process-oriented software solutions that monitor our inventory levels. We pre-order certain parts, and for series repairs, we even secure sufficient spare parts for one year to ensure that we always have a large stock available.

Quality and Level of Repair

A professional repair requires the use of a test stand. For each new series, specially adapted and complex test equipment is developed. The devices are thoroughly checked for functionality through a long-term load test.

The test is carried out on a test stand that simulates processes as in a real machining plant.

Tests include:

  • BUS control
  • POT/NOT (positive and negative over travel)
  • Encoder connection
  • Alarm states
  • Speed
  • Current and voltage consumption
  • Temperature
  • Parameters

We Are Continuously Expanding Our Repair Portfolio to Include New Series

Since drive and power electronics are often discontinued prematurely, you may be under pressure to provide replacements to your customers in time. We support you in analyzing shortages and work together to find optimal solutions.

The typical process includes:

  • Development of test stations and procedures
  • Organization of spare parts
  • Preventive repair at the component level
  • If necessary, redevelopment or re-engineering of modules or complete devices

Frequently asked questions

Drive module repair

Complex and specially adapted test equipment is developed for each new series. Devices are tested with long-term load test thoroughly checked for functionality. Get an idea of our test facilities.
In times of shortages and discontinuations, we have process-oriented software solutions that monitor our inventories. We order some parts in advance, for series repairs even for 1 year, so that we can fall back on a large stock of spare parts. Certain modules are re-engineered by us.
If possible, a copy of the parameters is always read out and stored upon receipt. After successful repair, the data is compared and in case of exchange or sale, original parameters are transferred or restored to the new device. We have all the necessary hardware as well as software applications to parameterize Yaskawa devices according to the specifications.
The repair process for drive modules includes, but is not limited to, the following:
  • Preventive overhaul - replacement of all necessary defective and used parts. E.g. electrolytic capacitors, transistors, optoelectronic components.
  • Intensive cleaning
  • Extensive final and load tests on our test stands
  • Parameter adjustment or parameter recovery

Further information

We document the repair process for every order. You can download a detailed description of the process here.
We are continuously looking for new areas of activity. After consultation with the customer, we determine the necessary steps for a safe and qualitative repair
It may happen that error messages continue to be displayed with the connected device. Already during the analysis of the errors, we give the customers suggestions for solutions for different malfunctions and errors. error cases, if we suspect further error causes. Errors and faults are documented, among other things, in the log file of the respective device, which may indicate, for example, encoder communication problems, cable defects or overloads.
Many of our customers have defective devices of the same model in larger quantities. We have optimized our processes for series repair and have the capacity to repair many devices in parallel quickly and to a high repair many devices in parallel.

Cost & Warranty

The repair process itself represents a high degree of technical complexity, which we always want to master with a qualitative and long-term solution for you. solution for you. However, the maintenance of these quality characteristics requires, to agree on a repair flat rate or standard repair price. We communicate honestly and transparently all the information you need. For example, prices, previous and completed work steps, delivery times, etc.
Basically we give 12 months warranty.
