Fanuc Pulsecoder Alpha 1000A repair, test and alignment
Pulsecoder Alpha 1000A is a Fanuc serial encoder with 1,048,576 counts. We test it, repair or replace it and align it to the rotor. Found on: Fanuc Alpha series servo motors that use the high-resolution encoder. Star Automations is an independent multi-brand repair company and is not an OEM service centre.

Urgent: 3 working days
Repair, encoder alignment and test, counted from the day the motor reaches the bench and the quote is approved.
Standard: 7 working days
Full repair, encoder alignment, run test under load and a printed test report.
- Free repairability check from a nameplate photo

01Facts
Pulsecoder Alpha 1000A at a glance
| Device | Pulsecoder Alpha 1000A |
|---|---|
| Brand family | Fanuc |
| Type and format | Fanuc serial |
| Counts | 1,048,576 |
| Found on | Fanuc Alpha series servo motors that use the high-resolution encoder |
| Connector | 17 or 19 pin round MS connector, or DB15 |
| Pole setting for alignment | 8 pole as standard |
The Alpha 1000A is the high-resolution encoder of the Alpha series at 1,048,576 counts per turn. The fine resolution makes encoder contamination and signal faults show up quickly as drive alarms.
02Faults
How Pulsecoder Alpha 1000A encoders usually fail
- No data received from the encoder at power-up, usually a cable, connector or encoder board fault
- Internal error flag set by the encoder, which normally means repair or replacement
- Battery alarm or lost absolute position after a backup supply fault
- Overheat flag stuck on after thermal line or board damage
- Count that does not match one revolution, or commutation that no longer lines up with the rotor
03Process
How the repair is done
Receive and identify
We read the nameplate and encoder label and confirm the exact type.
Test
Count per turn, data status, alarm flags and, where fitted, incremental lines are checked on the bench.
Repair or replace
Board, connector or sensor faults are repaired; a matched encoder is fitted where repair is not sensible.
Align
Commutation is set to the rotor and checked at every pole pair using the electrical angle.
Verify and report
The motor is run on the bench and the readings are recorded in the report.
See encoder alignment, memory programming and replacement.

05FAQ
Questions
Can you repair a Pulsecoder Alpha 1000A encoder?
Yes. We test the position count and status, repair or replace the encoder, align it to the rotor and run the motor. We repair Fanuc units; Star Automations is an independent multi-brand repair company and is not an OEM service centre.
How is the Alpha 1000A different from the Alpha A64?
Resolution. The 1000A gives 1,048,576 counts per turn against 65,536 for the A64.
Do you repair the encoder without the motor?
Yes. Send the motor or the encoder; we test and align it against the rotor either way.
What should I send for a Pulsecoder Alpha 1000A enquiry?
A clear photo of the motor nameplate and, if the cover is off, the encoder label. You can send the motor or only the encoder.
06Enquiry
Send the nameplate or encoder label
A clear photo of the motor nameplate and, if the cover is off, the encoder label is enough to start. We reply with whether it can be repaired and a quote.
