Need help with your Fadal?

[fizzissist]

I am looking for someone who can answer questions related to programming utilizing macros and subprograms. Would you be my man and if not could you point to someone who can. I actually came to the Chatsworth plant for my Operator Training and worked with Able Santana. Any chance you would know how to reach him?

Thanks

Fadal put out a supplement on macros, which I have a copy of. It's not scanned yet, so hopefully someone here has an "e"-copy they could email you, or maybe post here. It has examples and is very helpful.
Both Neil and Able were always very helpful to me in the past.

.... Btw, in the Fadal User Manual Section 18 you'll find a dedicated treatise on macros...PM me if you can't find a copy.

Give Douglas Salguero a call at 818-727-2100. He has been the senior applications engineer for Fadal for 20+ years and would love to help.

Just looking for ideas on a good sealant that you've come across for the enclosures. the white stuff from Fadal is junk. I'm using a sealant from loctite now and its pretty good but is there something else you've seen the works good. I use a semi synthetic coolant.
Also have you seen any way covers that are better than stock Fadal? Mine are always falling off,springs stretch out, all due to rust.

Blue or Black Loctite RTV is all we use for industrial sealant.
BLack is best (and costs it as well).
You will have no trouble with Blue.

I rebuilt a 4020 about 3 years ago. I was advised to use Sika 1-A . Polyurethane sealant. Zero issues to date. Great stuff. IMO,silicones are not a good choice. The blue stuff is especially prone to coolant swelling. There is only one that has proven to be oil proof IMO and that is the gray silicone made or sold by loctite and permatex. Use the Sika 1A and you will not have to redo it again.

We have had no issues with Blue in any industrial application (including coolant).

Here are blurbs
