4th axis

[Captain Midnigh]

Will I be able to hook up a Yuasa 4th axis to my Milltronics Partner IV? Century IV control.

You may be able to set it up as an indexer using spare M codes, but I have yet to find any of the older controls that do full 4 axis motion.

This one shows a Haas 4th axis was connected.

How did the RGB monitor test work out?

The machine in the photo is the same as mine. Mine also had a Hass 4th connected to it at one time, although I can see no evidence of that.
Nothing yet with the monitor.

Look inside your cabinet. Your motherboard is on the door, across from it
in the cabinet are your drive cards. There is a fan perpendicular to the cards.
The first three are XYZ, if you have a 4th card this would be used for your
4th axis. If you don't have a 4th card than it's a no go, unless you can some
how find another drive card?
Did you get your communication problem sorted out?

I have a true 4-axis SMW table on my Cen 4 machine. Ben is right, look for the amp card. The company that did the amps are still around and can repair the cards if need be. They told me that if I had more then like 2 cards for repair then it would be more cost worthy to upgrade the amps.

Do they repair the X, Y, Z, Centurion IV amp cards? If so, I would like their
contact info.

thanks,
