Friends...
Over the last 5 or 6 years we have slowly increased the number of servo based positioning systems in this facility from none to 9 systems that include about 25 axis.
We have a well trained staff of mechanical trades people who are quite capable of trouble shooting classical mechanical systems but who have zero experience with the mechanical principals inherent
in servo based systems.
My problem is that when a servo system shuts down under a position error or torque limit our mechanical people look at us as if we come from Mars when we tell them it is a mechanical issue.
Everything they know about classical systems tell them the mechanics of the system in question are OK. They have no understanding of the mechanical issues that can effect the operation of a servo positioning system.
What I am looking for is a detailed breakdown of the skillset that a mechanic needs to have in order to trouble shoot the mechanics of a servo based positioning system. This information will allow us to build a training program to bring our current trade group up to speed. I am sure others have faced this issue.
As always... I thank everyone who replies for their input.
Best Regards... Rick Kelly
