Problems with
outdated control
and drive equipment
Availability of spare parts
The required original spare parts are often no longer available. Expensive and time-consuming individual modifications are required.
Extended line stops
Default risk
Electrical/electronic components reach the end of their life cycle much sooner than mechanical components.
Faults are becoming increasingly likely
Service and maintenance
Today’s service personnel often lack the know-how for former systems, and documentation is no longer up to date due to various modifications. Furthermore, remote assistance isn’t possible at all. Increased maintenance efforts for systems with DC drives (brush replacement).
Expensive maintenance and long system downtimes
Production adjustment and product change
Settings are usually made analogously and are often only possible when the machine is running.
More scrap during product changeover
Quality control is very difficult
Expansion options and system changes
Control interlocks are using hardware components and dedicated analogue components.
System changes are difficult or by complex modification only
Drive and control characteristics
Outdated drives and controls with analogue system components (e.g., for synchronization)
Reduced product quality due to low precision at synchronization and positioning
Increased energy losses (e.g. by braking via heating resistors or transmission by eddy current coupling)
Safety
Missing or outdated safety devices.
Lack of compliance with applicable laws or specifications
Low resolution of status messages, therefore time-consuming search for locking reason (e.g., with protective covers)
