Which model Vipros, and what's the serial #?
FWIW, a competent IT person can set you up with a new machine running Windows 10 32 bit and transfer FabriWin over.
As far as programming softwares, I've used Amada Dr Abe Blank and Merry Mech...
Here's an exploded view of the limit switched and dogs on a later Pega. If you have an account with Amada, you have access to the online manuals, which include operator, parts and other topics.

Hope this helps
Judging by the release dates of the upgrades, that's an ancient piece of software, guessing early 2000's?

Grabbed a random RG manual off the Amada site, there's a split adjuster on the left side of the upper beam. Pic attached, it's fairly self explanatory.
You can setup an account with Amada and have access to the online manual library.

Is your SMP machine driver set up to use the TLS lookup file? This is a text file that you can set the various M & G codes for individual tools. It is located in the Accessories/D_Tools folder. File...
Joe,
I have no connection to Lapis, the link just posted that way. They have many of the Amada user and operator manuals posted on their website.
Operations manual attached.
Some links to parts books and info below, what applies depends on your serial numbers.

Sorry, can't help you with the diagnosis. I've never personally run an RG with that controller, ours were Autobackgage 99 and NC9EX II machines, don't know if the one you have ever came to the USA....
This is the least expensive programming software I know of....

AFAIK, all the Amadas are open and can can accept standard text format programs, so you can use third party programs like Radan, SMP etc. At my current place, I program our EMK with Merry Mech SMP....
Here is the operator's manual.
+1 to Paul's response. The nesting software can make all the difference. Dr Abe has a learning curve, but once you're up to speed it's very good software. I used Dr Abe Blank for four years before...
We punch a bunch of 18ga expanded metal on our old Nisshinbo turret and it has always been a PITA. We've reduced ourselves to shearing the 4x4 sheets down to 24x16 and run it as a single part, no...
Here's the hydraulic diagram for the late machines
Bought parts from you guys in the past, always spot on.
Operator's manual, what is the production date of the machine?
Macros in an Amada are written by the user. The oldest machine I've worked on is an Aries 245 thick from '88 and they have all been the same. The user writes a program that includes a punching...

Your best bet is probably to send a PM to "AmadaJoe" here on CNC Zone. He's an ex-Amada tech and operates Alternative Parts Inc in the USA. Extremely knowledgeable guy.

Might also help if you are using a turret with air blow, to turn it off when punching these parts and have the operators wipe the sheets down prior to breaking them out. Had to do that on some 24GA...
We had lots of problems like that as well. I thought that had a vibe or air blow part separator solution for the newer machines. One method we used was industrial velcro to act as a stripper. We...
Been a while since I worked on an Aries. We used to have that problem as well and I would just do subprogram calls rather than macros / multiples programming. Multiples just slows the machine down...
I worked with an Astro 100NT/HDS for seven years starting in '07 using AstroCAM. It was buggy as well, but you get used to it. Just be patient and you'll get the hang of it. I made sure to report...
