Total Maintenance

Over time, drive components like ball screws, gears, and belts naturally wear down. The challenge? Their gradual deterioration often goes unnoticed until a failure occurs – bringing unexpected downtime or requiring costly, time-consuming repairs. Without a clear understanding of a component’s condition, maintenance teams can only react once damage has already been done.

The key to avoiding these setbacks lies in predictive maintenance, which enables continuous monitoring and early detection of wear, helping to prevent failures before they impact production.

The servo amplifier captures real-time data on friction and vibration, allowing the system to detect abnormal increases that indicate wear or potential failure. By continuously adjusting motor performance, it helps maintain stable operation and prevents excessive strain on components.

The motion module evaluates and controls backlash in gears, ensuring smooth and precise motion. By tracking wear progression, it provides early warnings when backlash exceeds the allowable threshold, preventing mechanical instability and performance issues.

By combining these tools and technologies, manufacturers can maintain optimal machine performance, minimise downtime, and extend the lifespan of critical components – all while reducing maintenance costs and improving overall efficiency. With real-time monitoring and automated failure predictions, operations become more reliable, efficient, and cost-effective.
