◆ Recommended Daily Inspection
Table 6. 1 outlines the recommended daily inspection for Yaskawa drives. Check
the following items on a daily basis to avoid premature deterioration in
performance or product failure. Copy this checklist and mark the “Checked”
column after each inspection.
Table 6.1 General Recommended Daily Inspection Checklist
◆ Recommended Periodic Inspection
Table 6. 2 outlines the recommended periodic inspections for Yaskawa drive
installations. Periodic inspections should generally be checked every 3-6 months;
however, the drive may require more frequent inspection due to poor environments
or rigorous use. Operating and environmental conditions, along with experience in
each application, will determine the actual inspection frequency for each
installation. Periodic inspection will help to avoid premature deterioration in
performance or product failure. Copy this checklist and mark the “Checked”
column after each inspection.
