Obsolete & Discontinued Lenze Hardware Breakdown Support

Keeping Production Running When Legacy Automation Hardware Fails

In industrial automation, the mechanical and electrical systems of a machine can remain operational for many years. However, the automation hardware controlling that machine may eventually become obsolete, discontinued, or difficult to source.

When a critical Lenze inverter, servo drive, PLC, HMI, or control component fails, the challenge is not simply replacing a component. The real concern is production downtime, compatibility, procurement delays, and the cost of replacing an otherwise functional machine.

Anadi Automation supports industries that continue to operate machines built around legacy Lenze automation systems, helping customers identify, source, repair, and replace difficult-to-find components while evaluating the most practical route for restoring the existing automation architecture.

Customer Challenge

A production machine experienced a critical failure involving legacy Lenze automation hardware.

The machine itself was still mechanically and electrically suitable for continued operation, but the failed automation component belonged to an older Lenze product generation.

The customer faced several challenges:

The original Lenze hardware was obsolete or discontinued.
The exact replacement was difficult to source through conventional procurement channels.
Extended procurement lead times could increase production downtime.
Replacing the complete automation system would require additional engineering and investment.
A modernization project would involve programming, wiring modifications, commissioning, and machine trials.
The customer preferred to retain the existing machine architecture wherever technically practical.

The immediate requirement was therefore to identify a reliable route for restoring the machine without unnecessarily replacing the complete automation system.

Anadi Automation’s Approach

Anadi Automation followed a structured breakdown-support and sourcing process focused on exact model identification, application compatibility, availability, condition verification, and restoration support.

1. Emergency Requirement Analysis

The first step was to understand the failed component and its application.

The team collected relevant information such as:

Complete model/part number
Nameplate information
Drive or controller type
Motor rating
Input/output requirements
Communication requirements
Existing application details
Required quantity

Accurate identification is particularly important with legacy automation hardware because similar-looking models can have different specifications, versions, ratings, or application functions.

2. Exact Model & Application Identification

The identified Lenze component was evaluated according to its product family and role within the machine.

The objective was to determine whether the customer required:

The exact same model
A compatible variant
A suitable replacement within the same legacy family
Repair of the existing unit
Or, where necessary, a modernization/replacement route

This approach helps avoid unnecessary replacement of components that may still be repairable or replaceable with an appropriate legacy unit.

3. Obsolete Hardware Sourcing

When the required component was no longer readily available through standard procurement channels, Anadi Automation searched its available inventory and independent sourcing network for legacy and hard-to-find Lenze hardware.

Anadi Automation’s website supports sourcing across a broad range of industrial automation manufacturers and specifically lists Lenze among its supported brands.

Where the exact part is not immediately available, the sourcing requirement can be evaluated for alternative availability routes.

4. Condition-Based Supply Options

Depending on availability and customer requirements, suitable hardware may be offered in different conditions.

Brand New

New/original-condition hardware, subject to availability and verification.

Rebox / Refurbished

Available legacy hardware supplied after appropriate inspection/testing according to the agreed supply scope.

Obsolete / Discontinued

Legacy hardware sourced specifically to support existing machines where conventional procurement channels may no longer provide readily available stock.

Anadi Automation’s product listings also provide options for new, rebox, refurbished and repair requirements on applicable Lenze products.

5. Testing & Verification

Before dispatch, available units can be checked or tested according to the agreed scope.

The objective is to help verify:

Model and part-number accuracy
Physical condition
Functional condition where testing is possible
Compatibility with the customer’s requirement
Supply condition

For repair requirements, Anadi Automation states that its industrial repair service focuses on functional testing using system-specific test fixtures and provides a warranty on applicable repairs.

6. Installation & Commissioning Support

After component identification or supply, support can extend to installation checks and restoration requirements.

Depending on the application, this may include:

Model verification
Installation checks
Parameter review
Drive configuration review
Communication checks
Motor compatibility checks
Machine trial support
Troubleshooting during restoration

The objective is to help the customer return the existing machine to operation with minimal unnecessary changes.

7. Repair as an Alternative to Replacement

Replacement is not always the only solution.

If the customer’s existing Lenze hardware is repairable, Anadi Automation can evaluate the unit for repair.

Applicable Lenze automation hardware can include:

Frequency inverters
VFDs
Servo drives
Servo controllers
Control modules
PLC hardware
HMI/operator panels
Other automation electronics

Repairs are carried out as an independent industrial repair service, with applicable repairs backed by Anadi Automation’s stated warranty terms.
