Upgrading to a New Servo System: What to Consider Before Replacing

When you notice that your equipment starts showing signs of poor performance, coupled with old parts, then it is time to think of updating the system. When making the transition to the new servo system, one should have a clue of the replacement cost of the servo system. Upgrade can greatly improve motion control, accuracy and productivity in case it is planned. You may want to purchase a servo motor in India or you may want to upgrade you whole set up, knowing the servo system replacement cost will enable you make a smart and efficient investment decision.

 

Step 1: Assess the Need for Servo System Replacement

Identify performance problems, including:

•  Irregular or noisy motion
• Reduced precision and speed
•  Heat overload or high failure rate.
•  Inability to work with the latest software.

A system assessment can be used to understand whether replacement of servo motor or a complete upgrade of a servo system is the most effective.

 

Step 2: Estimate the Servo System Replacement Cost

Service replacement on the servo system is dependent on:

• Servo motor and drive type (AC, DC or brushless)
• Torque requirement and power rating.
• Control points or number of axes.
• Installation and integration requirements.

Furthermore, modern system, being invested in by reputable suppliers of servo motors, is guaranteed of longevity, less maintenance as well as lower operation costs in the long run.

Step 3: Compatibility with Existing Machinery

Not all the servo motors fit all the systems. Check:

• Contact ability of input voltage and control signal.
• Mounting dimensions
• Communication protocols

Prior to purchasing servo motor, seek advice of experts such as THM Huade on the type of compatible models and those that are most efficient.

 

Step 4: Servo Motor System Replacement or Upgrade?

Irregularly, it is required that only certain parts should be replaced rather than the whole setup:

• Only change the motor when it is not performing well but the drive is.
• You may need to upgrade the drive to have better control features.
• Complete system upgrade when quality of performance and communication is not met.

An all-servo upgrade could be expensive on the front side but guarantees more accuracy, high speed, and reliability.

 

Step 5: Installation and Calibration

The nice results of work with the servo motors are associated with their proper installation. During setup:

• Install and fix the motor into place.
• Calibrate position feedback and speed feedback.
• Test in different load conditions.

An accurate installation guarantees a smooth functionality, and prevents an untimely wear or breakdown.

 

Step 6: Long Term Benefits of Upgrading

As an upgrade, your servo system will have the following benefits:

•  Improved energy efficiency
• Increased productivity and speed.
•  Reduced downtime
•  Simpler connection to automation systems.
•  Improved fault detection and monitoring of data.

In the case of industrial operations, a good servo system upgrade is not only cost-efficient in terms of profits but also in terms of performance.
