Lifecycle read and what it changes on the BOM
For a line still running 1FK7034-5AZ91-1ZZ9 on the spindle or feed axis, that read means stocking two spares per critical axis instead of one, locking down any uninstalled stock in vendor managed inventory, and pulling the LTB date forward on any open RFQs before allocation closes.
Sourcing posture for an EOL-hot servo
Quoted to order against the RFQ through independent distribution — every quote is reconfirmed at submission because EOL-hot stock turns over by the week, and what was available at RFQ open may already be allocated before PO cut. Independent channels handle the franchised, traceable, warranty-backed supply that an active Siemens book order would have provided; for an EOL-hot servo that trust signal is the differentiator against grey-market parallel imports, so traceability paperwork travels with the shipment.
