I'm probably going to purchase a 1998 fadal 2016L that had everything for a 4th axis but the guy took the axis card out and put it in another machine to make a sell. The machine has ac servos but the...

Rodney, thank you very much for all the information about this machine. You did not discourage me from the machine but did give me good information to base my decision about it on. I think the...

Rodney247, thanks for all the info. I havent completely disregarded this old fadal but im also looking into available vmc15xt's for sale in the Los Angeles Region.
I was trying to look up...

Im not around the machine again so ill have to look at the setp page and look for the cmd menu next time im there. Here is a pic of the serial number. It is an 85 machine. 8508252 is the serial...

What are the concerns with that early pendant? It definitely isn't as attractive as the later pendant. I looked better at the processor board and it is a 1400-2 system. The pendant has a lcd screen...

Unfortunately, the garage is not temperature controlled and located in the hot San Fernando Valley. Is it expensive or complicated to replace air lines and seals on these machines? The machine does...

I went back and looked and the machine has the Mitsubishi drive which that article says is incapable of rigid tapping. 448184

I went back and looked at the machine better but still was unable to see any turcite. Here is a picture of the underside of the x axis and then the back of the ways on the sadle. It looks like a...

I am inspecting an 85 vmc40 right now and not seeing turcite on it either, just ground and scraped ways. Did you ever find any more information on this?

This machine has a transformer that can be wired for single phase.

I need to go back to the guys house and look in the cabinet that has the spindle drive. I was not able to access the back of the machine when i was there. I also need to take a closer look at the #s...

Hi, i am looking for advice on purchasing a machining center for my garage. I have a friend of a friend that has a 1985 fadal 904-1 22x16 machine with the cnc88 control for sale. The machine turns...

Wow, this is an excelent looking project. Im am impressed. I need to get more details on how you utilized the glentek servo drivers and hooked up pixies or G-rex. I dont know anything about what the...

Im using 120 on the pmdx board. There is no ground to the power supply and im not sure about a ground to the computer. It should be grounded if it is going through the computer from the pmdx board,...

Yeah, i put the correct current set resistors in and tripple checked them. I have 2 1200 oz in 6 amp motors and 1- 4 amp motor that came on a techno linear slide that im using for my z. I put all...

my power supply was taken from a medical equipment robot. around 30v im reading 12.5 amp not sure the make, says coutant lambda , and omega on the top. Not sure if it is switching or not. Doesnt have...

I have all of the electronics just mocked up and laying on my mdf table top. The motors are siting right next to the board " around 8 inches away" with the wires directly from the motor pluged into...

Well, it may be a grounding issue, but maybe not in the way you described. My breakout board is the pmdx model that mounts the gecko drives directly on it. The only wiring that i had to do was my 4...

There were speratic spikes that went between 32 and 48 on the y axis, but there were very few. What im experiencing is evenly timed regardless of the motor speed and on 2 different types of motors as...

I ran the driver test and it gave me a flat line that had some really small noise on it here and there. I did have a spike every once and a while, but it didnt' look evenly timed like these clunks...

Hi, i am seting up my system with mach 3 and trying to figure out how to get my motors to run smothly. I have 3 gecko 202 drivers and a pmdx 131 breakout board that the geckos plug onto. I messed...
