We will put your machine to the test. You know your machine extremely well. But together we can get to know it even better and pave the way to optimization.
For example, we can detect energy savings potential, weak points or risks and then access valuable reserves of power. Whatever steps you decide to take, your machine is in the best hands when you work with us.
On our test bench:
- Inspection of the electronic and electromechanical drive and control elements, taking special account of key components that are critical to functions.
- Checking the drive dimensioning and its energy efficiency
- Taking inventory of the existing machine
Inventory taking
Recording and documentation of components, such as the controllers, inverters, gearboxes, motors
The first step of the inspection is to take an inventory. We gain an overview for you, showing which drive components are installed where and what opportunities there are for procuring replacement parts.
Your advantages:
- Detailed overview of the drive technology installed
- Process of procuring replacement parts is simplified
- Faster response time when servicing is required
- Lower costs and less unscheduled downtime
- Sound basis for customized, further-reaching service concepts, e.g. a machine analysis
- Overview of necessary adaptations to currently available products
- Overview of delivery capacity of the installed Lenze drive components as well as successor products
How we do this:
- Qualified stocktaking of all technical drive components by our Lenze qualified personnel
- Compilation of a detailed list of components for the drive technology installed
- Read-out of parameters
- Read-out of error memory
- Image documentation
- On-site visual assessment and status classification by a Lenze Service team
- Delivery of all relevant data in digital form
- Optional: recommendation of maintenance cycles
- Creation of an emergency/stockpiling plan
Machine analysis
Determination and evaluation of the condition of the installed components
Our Lenze experts offer you a profound insight into the current status of your system and a medium-term outlook. This provides an excellent starting point for taking preventative action to prevent standstills and can significantly improve the level of responsiveness in the event of an emergency.
Your advantages:
- Clear information throughout the current status of the drive technology installed
- Analysis of the risks and weak points relating to:
- the availability of the system
- the factor influencing costs in the system
- Optional: recommended actions to reduce downtimes
- Performance reserves highlighted
- Reduced variants in the product range lead to improved responsiveness in the event of a standstilll
- Optimize or extend the life cycle of the machine
How we do this:
- Status monitoring of the drive and automation components installed
- Data backup for all the Lenze drive systems installed, to make sure they are up and running again as quickly as possible after downtime
- Identification and analysis of errors; recommendations for remedial action
- Detailed system report including analysis results
- Interpretation of results
- Preventative measures
- Recommended actions
- Checking and updating of the existing stocks
- Free disposal of redundant drives
A Control cabinet
- Program and data backup
- Reading the operating hours and recording the power-on time
- Read-out and analysis of the error memory
- Thermal imaging of the control cabinet
B Gearboxes
Analysis of the state of wear including:
- Visual inspection of the electromechanics
- Vibration monitoring
- Thermal imaging of the gearbox
- Brake diagnosis (state of wear)
- Oil analysis to assess the progression of the wear
C Motors
- Critical drive components identified; stocks and availability checked
- State of wear assessed by means of visual inspections and measurements
- Analysis of electro-technology and Electromechanics
Complete overview
- Database provided and comprehensive report prepared along with recommendations for action to be taken
- Axis documentation inspected; operating instructions supplemented or updated where necessary
