Repair of a Fanuc A06B-6087-H126 Power Supply Module the Express Service within 48 Hours
A customer personally delivered a defective Fanuc Power Supply Module A06B-6087-H126 to our repair center.
The machine was completely down, and a replacement from the OEM would have cost over €7000, with more than a week of lead time.
We accepted the unit as an express repair.
Initial testing revealed no visible damage, but the DC link was permanently shorted.
The IGBT module had failed, and the pre-charge and discharge circuits were thermally overloaded.
Because we maintain dedicated capacity for express cases, the module was immediately cleaned, documented, and brought to the test station.
Diagnostics, spare part preparation, and documentation ran in parallel.
The technicians disassembled the unit completely and checked all semiconductors, diodes, shunts, and capacitors.
After replacing the IGBT module, cleaning the board, and renewing the fan assembly, the unit was tested on a Fanuc test bench with simulated 230 V AC input.
Voltage, temperature, and gate signals were monitored continuously during testing.
After about six hours, the module operated stable, reached all setpoints, and showed no overcurrent or regulation errors.
Within 48 hours, the customer picked up a fully functional, documented, and verified power supply.
Such express repairs are only possible because we reserve a part of our capacity specifically for urgent cases.
Each repair follows standardized inspection and assembly checklists to ensure process reliability.
Every module is traceable and comes with a test report.
This approach reduces cost, downtime, and ensures high reliability at one fifth of the OEM price.
Preventive Maintenance for Customers
- Check and replace fans and filters every 12 months
- Replace capacitors every 5–7 years
- Regularly inspect connectors and DC bus cables
- Keep environment clean and below 40 °C ambient temperature
- Perform insulation test (500 V Megger) annually
- Record operating hours and temperature data
Conclusion
A Fanuc Power Supply Module can be repaired economically and reliably when handled by an experienced team with proper test equipment and original parts.
Through standardized procedures and preventive maintenance, unplanned downtime can be avoided and total cost of ownership significantly reduced.

Application Environment & Compatible Equipment
The Fanuc Power Supply Module A06B-6087-H126 is part of CNC machine systems equipped with α-series servo and spindle amplifiers.
Typical users include DMG MORI, Mazak, Okuma, Fanuc Robodrill, Bridgeport, Hurco, and other manufacturers using Fanuc control systems such as Series 0i, 16i, 18i, 21i, and 31i.
It supplies multiple servo amplifier units (for example A06B-6079-H106 or A06B-6089-H105) via the internal DC bus.
The module is mounted inside the main control cabinet with forced cooling.
Maximum ambient temperature: 45 °C, protection class IP20.
Functional Description
The Power Supply Module provides the DC bus voltage for all connected servo and spindle amplifiers.
It converts the incoming 3-phase AC voltage into a stable DC voltage around 300 V DC.
Main features include:
- Rectification and DC bus stabilization
- Voltage and current monitoring
- Protection against overcurrent, overvoltage, and overtemperature
- Control and feedback communication with the CNC
- Built-in pre-charge and discharge circuitry
The control logic communicates via optically isolated interfaces to ensure safety and reliability.
Gate signal monitoring detects malfunctioning IGBT modules or control board failures immediately, protecting both drive and machine.
