Matsuura MC-500V2 Adding Custom 4th Axis?

[Techbuilder]

Hi everyone I was hoping maybe you might be able to help me out with a question I have.
Well I wanted to build my own servo controlled Rotary indexer and a Trunnion Table and I was curious if it is hard to interface to a yasnac controller with a 4th axis?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Techbuilder,

I have a Matsuura MC 500 V2 with a Yasnac Mx1 (or MX2) controller. The machine also has a retrofitted Nikken 4th Axis with its own Fanuc Mate controller. The machine is about 25 years old, but I have only had it a few months. I have not been able to use it so far because it has a fault, probably a minor one. I have started serious fault finding on it since yesterday. If you need any information please let me know.

Regards

mo its not hard just make sure you get the same drive(yasnac and the motor yasnac

My acroloc ran a mx1 control with a 4th and had no problems with full 4th axis( wasnt just indexing)

you can pretty much use any drive and motor you just need to have the right signal/
I know a guy with alot of yasnac parts (drives/motors))and even 4th axis's, pm me if you want his name
