To analysis the early failures of machining centers,the failure mode effect and criticality analysis (FMECA) method was used.Based on the failure data collected from production lines in test run,all the failure modes of machining centers were summarized and criticality of all subsystems is figured out.And the process of FMECA was improved.The most critical subsystem was manipulator subsystem.The most critical failure mode was impacted manipulator.Reasons and effect of some important failure modes were analyzed.And some suggestions to solve failures were given.
