Well I finally got a decent price on a brand new Troyke NC rotary table so I decided to move on with this project. Here it is:
Troyke Model NC-9-B-RH-PC-S-180-B
Bridgeport Model 31542657

Now here are the facts
My machine is a 1997 Brideport torq-Cut 22 w 8k rpm, 22 tools, DX32 etc... The machine is basically new. The plugs are installed on the monitor support arm to accept the 4th axis, i check in there and the wiring is done there. There is no 4th drive in the cabinet and I did not see any wiring ready for it to be plugged, there is a location to install it however. As far as i know the 4th axis is reday to use with the DX-32 control (plug and play)
So here is my list of things to do to install this baby, let me know if this is okay or I miss something here:
Things I have:
- Rotary table
- Machine Wiring Diagrams
- Mechanical and electrical skills![]()
Things to get if I'm right:
- Buy the correct drive, witch BPT part # do i need?
- Complete the wiring to drive and other components
- Get air supply and solenoid for the pneumatic brake on the 4th axis
- Tell me if I need to do something else...
Any help is greatly and advice appreciated! Let me know if you have some experience installing or running a 4th axis on a DX-32 equipped Bridgeport.
Thanks you!! :banana:
