If the cable is good, swap the motor encoder (pulse coder).
A 414 Servo Alarm (Z-axis detect error) is a serious issue that indicates a communication breakdown between the encoder and the servo drive. In high-demand repack scenarios, this is most commonly caused by worn cabling, electrical noise, or a failing encoder. Systematic troubleshooting—specifically inspecting the encoder cable and swapping modules—will quickly isolate the issue.
(if possible):
For parts and technical support, specialized retailers like TIE - FanucWorld or CNCpart.eu provide detailed documentation and repair services.
Support the Z-axis spindle head securely using wood blocks or a crane to prevent it from dropping due to gravity. Disconnect the Z-axis motor coupling. fanuc 414 servo alarm z axis detect error repack

In a scenario, the Z-axis (vertical) is under immense load, causing potential intermittent errors due to physical or electrical strain. Common Causes of Z-Axis Detect Error (Repack Application) If the cable is good, swap the motor encoder (pulse coder)
If a motor was recently serviced ("repacked" with grease, or encoder reseated) and a 414 appeared, it may be due to improper assembly, encoder misalignment, or grease contamination of the encoder disc. Step-by-Step Troubleshooting for 414 Z-Axis Alarm
If you see (high current alarm), the amplifier's intelligent power module (IPM) might be damaged, potentially causing the 414 detection failure. Disconnect the Z-axis motor coupling
