Aida NC1 at a glance
The Dovient library currently covers 6 published troubleshooting guides for the Aida NC1, with 53 individual procedure steps distilled from OEM manuals and field experience. On average, a fix on this machine runs 9 steps and roughly ≈1 hr on tools. Complexity is classified as heavy, the average fix on this machine runs multiple hours, touches several sub-systems, and is usually planned work rather than reactive.
Failure modes to watch for
Every guide in the Aida NC1 library lists the candidate root causes its procedure rules out. These are the distinct failure modes we've documented so far, a useful starting point if you don't yet know which specific alarm or symptom you're chasing.
Worn hydraulic pump producing low flow at rated speed
Relief valve pressure setting drifted below specification
Clogged hydraulic filter restricting supply flow
Internal valve spool wear causing bypass and flow loss
Internal leakage past a worn directional control valve spool
Worn or damaged piston seals allowing fluid bypass
Counterbalance valve set too low to hold the ram weight
Hydraulic cylinder bore scoring from contaminated fluid
Tools you'll need most
These tools are referenced most often across the Aida NC1 troubleshooting guides. If you service this equipment regularly, keep them on the cart.

How to diagnose clutch and brake slipping on an Aida NC1 mechanical press
Clutch or brake slip on the Aida NC1 is a safety-critical condition. Stop production immediately and check air pressure and friction disc thickness before restarting.
How to diagnose crankshaft noise on an Aida NC1 mechanical press
A knock at the crankshaft is almost always bearing wear or inadequate lubrication. Check oil pressure and oil condition before the next production run.
How to fix die misalignment on an Aida NC1 mechanical press
Die misalignment on the Aida NC1 is usually worn guide pins or an uneven bolster surface. Measure punch-to-die clearance on all four sides before adjusting anything.
How to stop ram drift on an Aida NC1 mechanical press
Ram drift at rest means hydraulic fluid is bypassing a valve spool or piston seal. Isolate the counterbalance circuit first, then test each valve for internal leakage.
How to fix slow ram speed on an Aida NC1 mechanical press
Slow ram speed on the Aida NC1 usually means worn hydraulic pump output or a pressure relief set too low. Measure pump flow and compare to spec before assuming any single cause.
How to fix tonnage shortfall on an Aida NC1 mechanical press
Insufficient tonnage on the Aida NC1 is usually a relief valve that has drifted below the required forming pressure, or a worn pump that cannot sustain pressure at peak load.
