Reported fault
This is the reported machine message. It does not by itself identify a defective component or establish a particular local drive alarm.
Internal power supply and power stage repaired
The repair covered two central areas of the drive: the internal power supply and the power stage. The power supply feeds the internal electronics, while the power stage controls the electrical power delivered to the spindle motor. Both areas need to operate together.
The machine message was the starting point for inspection. It does not identify an individual defective component on its own. In this case, the internal power supply and power stage were repaired.
Complete overhaul and new fans
Alongside these repairs, we completely overhauled the unit and replaced the fans. Cooling is part of the overall drive function and is considered during repair.
Testing under load
After repair, the spindle drive was tested under load on our own test bench. The video shows footage of this test. The photographs document views before and after repair.
