We were cleaning out a storage area and I came across this. What would it take to get it running? All of our Fadals are prewired for 4th Axis, but there are no controller's installed. The Servo is a Baldor but the tag is completely worn off. I really have no idea what I have here. I am thinking this is just an indexer and not a true or full 4th axis?
That is not a fadal rotary.I think it is a homemade job.it may work if you build a custom harness get a amp and control card,and have someone who knows what they are doing install and build the harness. It is far from a plug and play unit.
Yeah, I knew it was custom made, just didn't know if it was worth any kind of effort. After talking with someone, he said it was worth scrap weight at best unless I put a handle on it and even then. I guess that's why it was buried in a storage room.
O well. Maybe some day I will put a handle on it for our manual side.
