Common Failure on CCU Boxes
"There's a funny smell coming from the electrical cabinet." The 50A spindle drive on the Siemens 810D went bang. All three phases failed the diode test (no surprise there).
This is a fairly common failure on CCU boxes, specifically on the 50A spindle drive.
Regularly check that the connections are tight and if you have a Meger, check the motor and power cable resistance. Infinity readings are what we like to see; however, if you get readings over 100 mg/ohms, your motor should be OK.
At Control CNC, we always do a full health check whenever we attend a failure like this, as quite often failures like this are caused by something else failing, such as a cable or motor.
In this case, one of the blocks in the drive failed. Regular preventative maintenance can lessen the chance of failures like this. Look after your machine and your machine will keep on producing!
