Service of Manipulators

Servicing of Manipulators in CNC Technology

Manipulators in CNC environments perform essential tasks such as automatic loading, unloading, positioning, and transporting of workpieces. Their smooth operation is crucial for continuous, reliable, and precise production. Our team provides professional servicing, diagnostics, and refurbishment of manipulators that function as an integrated part of CNC machines and machining cells.

Service Objectives

  • Restore mechanical precision and repeatable motion
  • Reduce vibrations, jerky movements, and wear
  • Eliminate faults causing downtime or incomplete cycles
  • Extend equipment lifespan without full replacement

Why Is Regular Servicing Essential?

In CNC environments, manipulators are subjected to high-frequency movements, three-shift operations, and minimal permissible deviations. Lack of timely service can quickly lead to complete line shutdowns, damaged workpieces, or reduced quality.

Regular maintenance ensures:

  • Fewer unplanned downtimes
  • Better utilization of CNC machines
  • Longer equipment availability
  • Lower long-term operational costs

What Does Manipulator Servicing Include?

Diagnostics and Condition Assessment:

  • Analysis of cycles, positional accuracy, and mechanical backlash
  • Inspection of encoders, bearings, guides, and actuators
  • Testing motion synchronization and positional sequences

Mechanical and Electrical Servicing:

  • Replacement of worn parts (bearings, guides, actuators, pulleys)
  • Calibration and reset of encoders
  • Restoration of cable chains and signal connections
  • Adjustment of brakes, torque limits, and end positions

Software Support:

  • Testing and optimization of servo axis parameterization
  • Firmware updates for servo drives
  • Integration or reconfiguration with the CNC controller
