Long-Term Repair Expertise for Yaskawa XtraDrive XD-01-MN01

We have been repairing Yaskawa XtraDrive XD-01-MN01 servo amplifiers for many years – especially for major chip manufacturers.

Why do they still repair such old equipment?

There are at least two key reasons:

1. Integral part of long-established production lines
Large semiconductor manufacturers operate production systems that have evolved and been optimized over decades. Replacing the XtraDrive with a modern drive system would be technically challenging and would require a fundamental redesign and recalibration of the entire control chain. In contrast, repairing key components like the XD-01-MN01 is a cost-effective and practical solution to maintain production capability.

2. Sustainability and environmental awareness
This argument is becoming increasingly relevant. Especially in Germany, environmental responsibility and resource conservation are gaining ground. Customers often say: “Repairing is more economical and sustainable than replacing.”
This mindset strengthens our mission and drives us to continue investing in repair capabilities, additional test environments, and new quality standards.

Hidden faults in the Yaskawa XD-01-MN01

The tricky part: many of the device’s faults are not immediately obvious. When connected to a motor and tested with the standard XtraDrive software, it may appear fully functional.

But under deeper testing – verifying all functions, speeds, and load conditions – problems emerge:
A signal might be missing, the unit may perform poorly at certain speeds, or randomly trigger Alarm 10.

Our approach: customer-specific test environment

We don’t just rely on Yaskawa’s diagnostic software. Instead, we replicate the customer’s control system on our test benches to simulate real-life operation and verify every function of the drive module.

This method sets us apart. That’s why even the biggest names in the industry come to us – seeking tailored, sustainable, and technically precise repair solutions.

Troubleshooting & Diagnostics – For Non-Experts

Typical Symptoms & Alarms:

Alarm	Description	Cause & Solution
A.10	Overcurrent or heatsink overheating	Check cooling, reduce load, inspect IGBT stage
A.32	Regenerative overload	Use external braking resistor
A.41	Undervoltage	Ensure input voltage is ≥ 200 V AC

End-User Maintenance & Diagnostics Tips

Step	What to Do
Visual Inspection	Disconnect power, open casing if needed, inspect for dust, damage, or odor.
Measure Input Voltage	Voltage between L1 and L3 should be 200–230 V AC.
Motor Output Checks	Ensure U/V/W terminals are correctly wired and tight.
Software Diagnosis	Use XtraDrive PC software to check alarms, parameter settings, and feedback.
Under Load Testing	Some errors only occur under real operational conditions, not in idle mode.
