The Amada ASTRO is a robotic bending cell consisting of a press brake, a robot, a part regripping station, loading tables, unloading stations or an optional automatic pallet feeder. All components work together as one integrated system. A failure of any one of them can stop the entire cell, and the manufacturer’s service is not always available right away.

I handle relocation, installation, commissioning, diagnostics and service of Amada ASTRO robotic bending cells and other systems. I know Amada machines and their control systems from everyday production practice, so when diagnosing a fault I analyse the mechanics, the electrics and the control software.

I also reinstall and configure ASTRO CAM software.

Cell installation and relocation

Moving a cell to a new hall or another plant involves more than transporting machines. Scope of work:

  • dismantling and preparing components for transport,
  • positioning and levelling the press, robot and tables,
  • connecting power, compressed air and cabling between modules,
  • restoring the relative position of the robot and press and checking the bending programs,
  • configuring the software after relocation,
  • checking the safety systems and restarting production.

Service and fault diagnostics

The most common causes of downtime I work on.

Gripping and regripping

Part gripping and regripping errors after collisions, removing mechanical play, checking sensors and gripper vacuum systems.

Robot positions

Collisions and lost robot positions, broken motor / encoder cables.

Axes and drives

Axis and drive errors.

Communication

Communication errors between the robot and the press.

Safety circuits

Fence doors, light curtains, E-STOP.

Cables and connectors

Damaged cables and connectors in the robot harnesses.

Simpler faults can often be diagnosed remotely or by phone, based on the error code and photos.

Periodic inspections

An inspection reduces unplanned downtime. It covers checks of the mechanics and cable routing, sensors, the pneumatic system and grippers, a test of the safety systems and a backup of control data and programs.

Service area

South-eastern Poland (Podkarpackie and Małopolska regions): Dębica, Rzeszów, Mielec, Tarnów, Kraków. Longer trips by arrangement.

Has your ASTRO broken down and stopped working?
