What is a Servo Drive and Why is it Important?

​​​

A servo drive is a crucial component of a servo system, which is a closed-loop control system used for precise motion control. The servo drive receives command signals (typically from a PLC or motion controller) and amplifies them to power a servo motor. It also receives feedback from a feedback device (e.g., an encoder) attached to the motor, constantly adjusting the power output to ensure the motor follows the desired position, velocity, and torque profiles.

Top Servo Drive Manufacturers We Repair

ROC Industrial services servo drives from many major manufacturers. Below is a list of some common brands we repair:

Common Servo Drive Problems We Solve

Servo Drive Repair Process:

  • Upon receiving your servo drive, our technicians perform a comprehensive visual inspection, looking for signs of physical damage, overheating, or component stress. The drive is then carefully disassembled and thoroughly cleaned to remove contaminants, ensuring accurate diagnostics.

  • Using advanced diagnostic tools like oscilloscopes, signature analyzers, component testers, and manufacturer-specific software, we test all critical sections of the drive. Common failure points such as the power supply section (capacitors, rectifiers, IGBTs/MOSFETs), control board, communication ports, and feedback circuits (encoder/resolver inputs) are meticulously checked for proper operation and component tolerances.

  • Faulty components identified during diagnosis are expertly replaced with high-quality, genuine or equivalent parts using professional soldering and rework techniques. We also proactively replace components known to have high failure rates in specific drive models to improve reliability.

  • After repair, each servo drive undergoes rigorous testing. This includes powering up the drive, checking power supply voltages, verifying communication, and performing full functional load testing using a compatible servo motor and test stand (dynamometer where applicable). We check output waveforms and performance against OEM specifications before the unit is final cleaned, reassembled, and securely packaged for return, complete with our comprehensive warranty.

A properly functioning servo drive is essential for:

  • High Accuracy and Precision: Maintaining tight tolerances in demanding applications.

  • Repeatability: Ensuring consistent performance over time.

  • Smooth Motion: Minimizing vibrations and jerky movements.

  • High Speed and Torque: Providing the necessary power for demanding applications.

  • Increased Productivity: Reducing cycle times and improving overall efficiency.

Key Functions of a Servo Drive

Precise Motion Control

Servo drives enable highly accurate control of position, speed, and torque, essential for applications like robotics, CNC machining, and automated assembly.

Amplification

Servo drives amplify low-power control signals to deliver the necessary power to the servo motor.

​

Diagnostics

Many modern servo drives offer diagnostic capabilities to help identify and troubleshoot problems.

Closed-Loop Feedback

Continuous feedback from the motor ensures that the actual motion matches the commanded motion, correcting for any errors or disturbances.

Protection

Servo drives often include built-in protection features to prevent damage to the motor and drive, such as overcurrent, overvoltage, and overtemperature protection.
