Hi, We bought a Fadal 4020 -1997 yesterday. The machine looks to be in decent shape but with some issues. The previous owner told us he had some problems with the tool changer and when trying to fix it they somehow ended up running the Y-axis to absolute limit ( sounds stupid ). Anyhow the Y-axis was way off and we got several alarms when powering up and was not able to JOG the Y-axis. I shut it down and rotated the ballscrew by hand so the axis got closer to the CS position, but still no movement. If i go to JOG and turn the wheel on Y-axis i see a position movement on the screen but no movement in reality, after a while the machine throws me alarm 26 motor overload. X and Z works without problems.

Have any of you had this type of problems before? Would really appreciate some help.

Tomorrow we will swap drivers with X-axis and try again.


Thanks.
