From the viewpoint of preventive maintenance, we would like to ask you to plan maintenance and parts replacement schedules.

■Target electrical/electronic parts and components

The control system components using the relevant parts include various components such as UPS, various process power supplies, inverters, servo amplifiers, switching regulators, robot controllers, and PLC.
For the detail of the installed parts, please refer to the maintenance/inspection section of each control system component's instruction manual.

■Guideline for parts replacement

The service lives of the main parts used in our system are defined below.
The wear-out speed of parts largely depends on your operating condition such as temperature and other environmental aspects. The typical service lives defined below should be used only as a guide and it is not necessarily guaranteed that the parts will maintain their performance level of the time of delivery for the defined periods.
