Sodick (Panasonic) servo drive

[emexcee380]

Any Sodick users out there who can recommend a company to repair Sodick (Panasonic) servo drives? Our y-axis drive is faulty and Sodick says that a "reconditioned" drive is the only thing available with a long lead time from Japan.

Please advise.

I burned this driver when I unplug the driver with power on.
Error message 014 appear on display.
I found a new one by EDM-DEUTSCHLAND.
Only few days delivery time about 1750.00 euro.
One technical repairman from Holland able to check, quote and repair it.
Sodick japan can standard exchange your driver.
It' specially dedicaced driver from Panasonic to Sodick.
XYZ drivers looks similars but Z driver is different on my A525 MK25.

you can try EDM Systems. Last time i went by they had a few machines that was in the process of becoming parts. EDM Systems, LLC. Make sure the get them the exact model cause sodick used a few different models of panasonic drives. Also you will need to program the drive after you have it in.

If you cannot find a Panasonic authorized repair shop, you can send it to Panasonic directly for repair. If it is still under warranty they will repair it for free, if not they'll give you a quote first. I've repaired an older Minas A4 through following Panasonic distributor.
