4th axis wiring questions

[WGJ]

I have a TM-3 and am wanting to pc together a 4th axis. I have found a servo amplifier and need to see an example of how the 4th axis integrates into the machine. I guess any vm would help, but I would love to find someone who owns a TM and has the 4th axis wired in. I need pics of the parts/wiring and part numbers of the actual cables. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think you have to also have the unlock code (4th axis enable) for the control, so even if you get through all of that, it won't work.

If you have the amplifier, the only missing piece is the cable from the amplifier to the side of the cabinet. Power and logic control are the same as you see on the other axis amplifiers. Power just jumps from one to the next if I remember correctly.

I think on our TM you can just turn the 4th axis on.

Absolutely I want to see pics. And did you need a code to unlock 4th axis or was it just a setting that needed to be turned on? Thanks.

I have been through all of my settings several times in the last month and I am 99% sure it is just a setting to enable 4th axis.

you have 99% right :-) in settings you can turn the 4th axis BUT indexing axis , not one , you can have more
