Sourcing posture for a hot-EOL 1FK7
The 1FK7042-5AF71-1AG0: A hot-EOL servo motor is bought against the BOM for one of three jobs — keeping a running line alive past the official end-of-production date, spares for a startup window where the install is already committed, or a clone axis built to match an existing machine — and in each case the order code is what locks the replacement to the rest of the cabinet. Quotations run through independent distribution against an RFQ; quantity, traceability expectations, and the inspection scope are all confirmed at quote time rather than carried as standing stock.
