Repair and final functional testing
We repaired the affected section of the power electronics and replaced the damaged components with suitable replacement parts. Once the final parts arrived, the final functional tests were carried out without any problems. The spindle drive was then returned to the customer.
The video documents a test run at industrypart. It does not specify a particular test duration or load.
Ventilation and maintenance
The series manual calls for adequate ventilation and compliance with the permissible ambient conditions inside the cabinet. These requirements also matter for older equipment. A professional condition assessment can identify maintenance needs. The ventilation advice is general maintenance guidance, not a confirmed cause of failure for this unit.
