    Servo motor problem after teardown?

    Hi,

    I had a problem with one of the servo on my mill (x-axis) but the table was able to move normally. I teared down the servo and reassembled it. Now the servo don't work at all. There is no fault, or led error on the drive. I surely missed something but what ?? Somebody can help me with that one ??

    oh and it's a AC servo! (Sorry for the error)


    Thx a lot guys!

    There must be a brand name on the controller rack or processor, also the motor Drives should be identified by either brand or part number, these should be found by the motor cables terminating on them.
    OK I think I found them, they have a Taiwan site. Do you have service manuals, I notice they have those also in pdf.

    To do any constructive fault finding, you need the maintenance manual and/or schematics.
    If there is no error, I would see if the control is outputing an analogue signal if this is the method used, also all power and indicator lights on the drives are OK.

    What do you mean by control? Maybe post a pic if possible.

    Depending on the age of the servo's you may have just an encoder or if older a 2 wire tach also, But IF just an encoder, then it should not matter about orientation, the marker pulse may be off, thats all, that would give you a slightly different home position, but should not stop it working.
    Most controls give an alarm message if the servo should be moving and it is not, or the encoder feed back is either bad or missing.
    Does the display change position when you attempt to jog the axis?
    Are you sure they are Brushed DC and not DC brushless motors, as that could change things.

    First i want to thank you for you help, very appreciated !!

    Ok i tried something.

    First i start the machine and put it on, after that i hit stop bouton, move the motor by hand a bit then put on the machine again. The motor start to spin by his self. I hit stop again, to stop the motor and On again to try to jog the axis. But it can't jog like the computer lost is position between + and -.....

    conclusion motor work but i think maybe the drive is lost and /or the computer is there a reset or a manual placement of the zero. (Just if you have the princip)

    Thx dude great help !!!
