We have had good luck with our Fadals milling mostly soft steel and aluminum up to 5 axis. We are always looking for spare parts :) If you have a broken down Fadal give a shout.
Re: Fadal retrofit upgrade reusing existing Fadal servo drives and Motors Video
actually you end up with more functionality. pricing is available, no problem. and the system is available as a diy system or pro install. typical diy price is in the $4 to 6K range.. and typical pro install starts at $15k with training and warranty.
call or email us for a quote specific to a particular machine model and year. thanks for looking,

Re: Fadal retrofit upgrade reusing existing Fadal servo drives and Motors Video
My first post too, but I just got done doing a full retrofit on our Fadal 3016 with Gelntek DC motors. Way better than the previous Fadal controls but also 20 years newer tech. I'm still ramping up pushing the machine and have a few mechanical issues to sort out, but the electronics and control side is solid.
