The Importance of Professional Testing in Drive Technology
Ensuring the proper functionality of equipment in drive technology is crucial for seamless production. Particularly with critical machinery such as Swiss-type lathes, even minor faults can lead to significant issues. Therefore, it is essential to test inverters, like the Yaskawa CIMR-MXN25P5, under realistic conditions.
A Typical Fault Scenario – Yaskawa Inverter CIMR-MXN25P5
Recently, we received an urgent call from a customer whose Swiss-type lathe with two spindles suddenly stopped working—right in the middle of an important job. Although he had already obtained a replacement device from another supplier, the machine still remained inactive. Only after swapping inverters among his three identical machines did it become clear that the fault lay with the Yaskawa inverter CIMR-MXN25P5. But why didn’t the replacement device work?
The Challenge of Incorrect Parameters
We were already familiar with this issue: the replacement device was functional, yet incorrectly parameterized. This occurred because the supplier was only a distributor lacking technical expertise, unaware that inverters need to be individually adjusted to each specific machine.
Our Solution – Repair and Targeted Parameterization
We offered to inspect both devices in our specialized testing facility. Here, we could not only diagnose and repair faults but also precisely read out parameters and adjust them to meet the specific requirements of the machine. It turned out that one device was indeed faulty, while the other worked but was incorrectly parameterized.
Successful Restart After Adjustment and Repair
After repairing the defective Yaskawa inverter CIMR-MXN25P5 and correcting the parameters on the replacement device, our customer received both units back promptly. The machine functioned perfectly again, allowing the important job to be completed on schedule—much to the customer’s satisfaction.
Our Recommendation: Opt for Comprehensive Solutions!
In drive technology, comprehensive solutions are essential. Partial or temporary solutions often lead only to further complications. Therefore, when obtaining replacement parts, always verify whether the device must be technically matched exactly to your machine. Only a professional and comprehensive approach ensures the stability and trouble-free operation of your production.
How the Yaskawa Inverter CIMR-MXN25P5 Works
The Yaskawa inverter CIMR-MXN25P5 is a frequency inverter that allows variable speed control for three-phase motors. It operates by initially converting AC power into DC power and subsequently converting it back into frequency-controlled AC power. This conversion enables precise control over the speed and torque of connected motors, making production processes more efficient and flexible.
