In Manufacturing, and in particular, the Machine Tool industry, the environment inside a machine is usually very extreme. A CNC machine uses cutting fluids and other lubricants to aid in the ‘cutting’ of steel in the shaping of a part. These fluids, mixed with metal shavings and other solids, causes excessive servo motor failure.
Finding fault with a Fanuc servo system
When your CNC machine outfitted with Fanuc system stops working, the person running it or maintenance personal must quickly figure out the root-cause and then formulate a plan to get the machine running again. Seems simple, but rarely is it simple or easy.
Being a Fanuc repair facility, a common happening is that we will get a Fanuc motor or amplifier in for service, then go through our process to evaluate and we find out: the unit runs fine.
