ABB's preventive maintenance kits contain all the genuine spare parts needed to service drives at planned intervals in order to extend their service lives.
ABB has extended its range of preventive maintenance kits for ABB industrial drives.
The kits contain all the genuine spare parts needed to service drives at planned intervals in order to extend their service lives and minimise any risk of product failure and downtime.
New versions of the kits are now available for the ACS600 and ACS800 series of drives.
All of ABB's preventive maintenance kits are carefully tailored to contain a complete set of the components needed to service an ABB industrial drive at a given point in its lifecycle.
The kits simplify the purchasing process by providing everything the user needs in a single package.
They are also extremely cost-effective, since they are packaged and delivered at a lower price than it would cost to buy all the components separately.
For example, a typical kit might contain replacement cooling fans, cables and capacitors.
Preventive maintenance plays an important role in ABB's Lifecycle Management Programme, which encourages users to get the maximum benefit from ABB's drive products throughout their entire service lives.
Because they are tailored to match the age and condition of each individual drive, the kits are generally supplied as an integral part of a wider package of services within ABB's Lifecycle Management Programme.
However, they may also be supplied off the shelf if the user can provide the right information for ABB to effectively match the drive with the right kit.
Relevant information would include the drive's serial number, age and general condition, for instance.
Even the most reliable industrial equipment can't last forever.
In the case of ABB industrial drives, the main reason is the aging of electronic components, but environmental factors are also important.
For example, a high ambient temperature, dirty atmosphere or high cyclical load can all take their toll.
The recommended service interval for a given drive may therefore be anywhere between five and 10 years.
ABB industrial drives are often used in arduous conditions, such as those in the metals, mining, cement, chemicals or oil and gas industries.
With its Lifecycle Management Programme, ABB uses its experience to help drives customers optimise the time between overhauls and minimise the likelihood of any problems, without incurring extra costs by over-maintaining the equipment.
By combining the new preventive maintenance kits with an effective planned maintenance programme, users can plan and budget more easily, while getting the most out of their ABB drives for many years to come.
Preventive maintenance kits are only available directly from ABB.
