Our Team Expertly Repairs Yaskawa AC Servo Drives SGD, SGDA, and SGDB Sigma 1 Series

Precision Zone specializes in Yaskawa product repairs servicing a wide range of AC Servo series such as Yaskawa SGD, SGDA, and SGDB Sigma 1 Series Servopack.

Yaskawa AC Servo Drives SGD and SGDA are primarily for 1 kW or under applications. The SGDB drives are for applications ranging from 0.2kW to 55kW.

The SGD, SGDA, and SGDB Sigma 1 Series drives can use SigmaWin Plus or a digital operator that can be plugged into the front of these drives to change parameters, check alarms, or monitor the dive while in operation.

When assessing the functionality of a drive, our engineering team typically conducts a four-step check:

  • Visual Overview Check
  • Static Test
  • Checks Under Power
  • Alarm Codes Verification

This overview is Precision Zone’s basic troubleshooting process. Once our repair team starts on the job we use specialized, customized test fixtures, Huntron tracker, signal generator, oscilloscope, milli and mega ohm meters and other necessary tools to assure quality repair. Most importantly, every repair is fully tested in custom-built simulators under load to replicate real-life working environment. Precision Zone goes as far as using heat chamber and overnight dynamic testing to guarantee performance of the repaired product when it comes back to the customer.

REPAIR PROCESS FOR SGDH SIGMA 2 SERIES SERVOPACKS

Visual Overview Check

When conducting a visual check, the technician inspects the drive for any mechanical damage to the drive and print circuit boards. Then the team proceeds to verify connections are tight and correct inside the drive and there are no loose screws, wires or particles. Additionally, we look for any burn marks anywhere on the components or chassis. During the visual inspection technical team notes excessive dirt on cooling components and records clogged heatsink.

Static Test Basic

Precision Zone repair technicians use digital multimeter with diode testing capabilities and resistance measurement to conduct a static test. In the instance of Diode testing, our team is looking to check input and output modules.

Input Modules Testing

Multimeter Positive Lead Multimeter Negative Lead Diode Check
Negative Capacitor Terminal R S T Approximately 0.3-0.4 V
R S T Positive Capacitor Terminal 0 L Displayed

Output Modules Testing

Multimeter Positive Lead Multimeter Negative Lead Diode Check
Negative Capacitor Terminal U V W Approximately 0.3-0.4 V
U V W Positive Capacitor Terminal Approximately 0.3-0.4 V

We verify capacitor value using capacitor meter and examine functionality of circuit breakers and contactors in the drive.

The last step in a static test process is checking the Regen Resistor. The technicians measure the resistance between Y3 and Y4. Resistance output results will vary depending on the size of the drive, but should not be shorted.

Alarm Codes Troubleshooting

The alarms on the SGD, SGDA, and SGDB Sigma 1 Series servopack are displayed through a seven segment display located on the front of these drives or by using a digital operator. These codes displayed are :

Alarm Code Code Type Cause
A.02 and A.04 Soft Alarm Incorrect parameters or corrupted datae
CPF00, CPF01 Control Circuit Alarm Control circuit drive problem
A30, A40 Braking Circuitry Alarm Regen circuitry failure of the drive
A.40, A,F1, A.F3 Power Alarm Incoming voltage problem
10 Motor or Encoder Alarm Overcurrent or Heat Sink Overheated
51 Motor or Encoder Alarm Overspeed; Incorrect connections or parameters
71, 72, A.A1 Load Alarm Too high or too low of a load
80, 81, 82, 83, 84 Encoder Alarm Either encoder data, backup or checksum error
A.C9, A.CA, A.00 Encoder Alarm Encoder communication, parameter, or data error
