Thanks kwakisaki,
Will try this on Monday.
I have a feeling that it is not the cooling fault as we powered down overnight and the issue appeared at startup .
Will investigate on Monday and report back.
Thanks.

Happy to connect via email - ross@allenpaper.co.nz
Hi Crew,
Looking to connect with a Fanuc specialist who would be able to connect via Facetime/Zoom and help us with our robot.
Happy to pay the right person.
Thanks,
Ross
Cool thanks HawkeME, Will try mastering and teaching tool and user frame.
Will report back
Hi All,
We have a Fanuc 410 wx that has recently required the replacement of a servo amplifier and also the motor for the 4th axis.
After remastering (zero position) and calibrating.
The x axis is now not level.
As the end of the arm moves away from the robot along the x axis it gets closer to the floor and the opposite in the other direction.
Any ideas on how to solve this issue?
Thanks splicer480 and Kluk Kluk,
I was really hoping not to take down the other robot to test this one, also maybe hard to get passed my boss.
Tomorrow I will revisit it and check the error history, and feed back.
Is there anyway to test the servo amplifier with out swapping it out?
After thinking about it over the weekend, I realized that I disconnected the wrong motor cables - Axis 2 not axis 1.
So
(67)SRVO--152 SVAL1 IPMAL alarm (Group : 1 Axis : 2)
(Explanation) An error was detected in the IPMof a servo amplifier.
Servo amplifier LED indicates one of ‘8.’ ‘9.’, ‘b.’.
(Action) Replace the servo amplifier.
The Servo Amp Axis 2. is displaying '8'
Before I disconnected the motor power wires at the servo of Axis 1. the error was showing on Axis 1 and has now moved to axis 2.
Is this telling me that I need to replace 2 servo amplifiers? is there a way to check this further?
I don't think the amplifiers are broken as the robot was running when it was powered down.
What would you do?
Hi Guys,
A while ago we purchased 2 410iWx's off trademe.co.nz (Ebay for New Zealand) for our small manufacturing business in New Zealand.

They arrived with no manuals or passwords and we had no experience with Robots.
With the help of the Forum we managed to reset the password get the first one and have installed it and have it running. (video at the end of the post)
So now it is time to crack on and get the second robot up and running.
Let the fun begin
So the current situation.
The Robot has power and powers up normally. So far so good.
As the robots have been powered down for some time (years) we expect to get some errors.
The first error that pops up is the SRVO-075
SRVO–075 WARN Pulse not established(G:%d A:%d)
Cause: The pulse coder does not know its own position yet.
Remedy: Jog the axis manually by more than one motor rotation.
Sweet - I think i can do that.
So turn the teach pendant on and jog the robot.
(Sounds of Doom) The next error.
Note the Error Code "8" on the first Servo Amplifier.
SRVO–149 SERVO HCAL(INV) alarm (G:%d A:%d)
Cause: Refer to SRVO–045.
Remedy: Refer to SRVO–045.
SRVO–045 SERVO HCAL alarm(Group:%d Axis:%d)
Cause: The current in the main power circuit of the servo amplifier exceeded specification.
Remedy: Disconnect the motor power wires from the servo amplifier and turn on power. If an HCAL occurs, replace
the transistor module or servo amplifier. Measure the resistance between GND and U, V, W individually on
the cable terminals. If shorted, determine if the cable or motor is bad. Check the resistance between U–V,
V–W, and W–U using a measuring instrument sensitive enough to detect small resistances at the cable
terminations. If the resistances are the same replace the servo amplifier. If the resistances are different,
determine if the cable or motor is bad. If the problem persists, replace the SIF module on the axis control for
the defective axis.
Geeperz! This sounds hard!
Right so lets work through this in order,
1. Disconnect the motor power wires from the servo amplifier and turn on power.
I am uncertain which is the motor power wires at the servo amplifier so I disconnected at the Servo.
Is this right?
So I power up the unit, first the SRVO-075 error, -> Attempt to Jog the Robot -> SRVO–149
So at this point is this is indicating either the Servo Amplifier is no good or the transistor Module?
How would you check to know which is not working?
Any ideas on what I can do to get this going?
Thanks in advance.
As promised here is the video of the robot that we have in action, all shot on an iphone.
Hi,
One thing to note is that Fanuc manuals ect are really hard/ expensive / imposible to get (see the sticky thread in this forum).
We purchased used Fanucs and did not know this and found it hard to get official support.
The forum members here are really helpful!
