Hi all,
I have an Amada Pega357 and have spent nearly a year trying to get it to work. We have spent thousands on technicians, none of whom seem to have a clue what is wrong with this 12 tonne paperweight. Every time we turn it on, it makes a gut wrenching shaking noise, as though desperately trying to shred itself to pieces, then gives me a 420 error. that is the main recurring problem, but just the tip of the iceberg. The machine doesn't seem to want to respond to anything and even when it does, it either instantly gives me a new error message(I have lost count of how many different errors I have encountered over the year) or does something completely illogical. I have tested many things and tried many things, I can't even remember all of what I did, since some of it was in December last year. Nothing seems to be wrong with the machine, except how ruggedly determined it seems not to want to work. Has anyone ever encountered this problem with Fanuc machinery before? I'm at my wits end.

Ok, so what I can say with confidence has been done is the following:
Swapped drive leads X and Y around to check if wrong connection
Reloaded all parameters
Checked phase direction on all 3-ph motors
cleaned Servos and brushes
Checked all cables and wires for continuity
Tested all motor windings for consistency
Checked for mechanical friction on ballscrews, belt and linear rails
Checked Thyristor/transistor/voltage regulators on VCU
Checked decoupling capacitors

On a side note, It is the y-axis that makes the death rattle when the machine is turned on. If I use OT bypass to jog the X axis, it dances all around the place very randomly

i think are wrong paratemeters for the Y motor
show me the parameters and what is the code from the motor.

It's feasible to Skype. Try Monday around 9 am EST. : tulipmemory.com

Damn, wish I could use Skype, sadly our internet is too slow and erratic. (SA still uses copper!)

[Oliver_Matthews]

Well, I fixed it. After having the Amada technician and a private technician here for at least 20 hours each, I decided to inspect the motors myself. Broken solder joints on both Tachogens.
Fifteen minutes with a soldering iron and Viola, machine is running! Now to figure out how to talk to the old anvil. Check and double check your wiring guys, especially with recently shipped machines, It's always the stupidest little things that ruin your day.
