Running Fadals can be bought so cheaply not sure why you would want to retrofit a Fadal.
But if you were to go down that path a friend of mine retrofitted a Fadal with a Dynamotion controller. He...
Somebody local retrofitted an SL3 with a smooth stepper board and Mach3.
The turret worked, and I believe it might have had rigid atpping.
he did say he had fits getting the original servo...
I have a 4020 with the coolant tank that goes under the left hand side of the machine, and extends out 18" form the side, it's got a large pump and Hydrosweep (not sure if it's 100gpm) but it pushes...

Install the resolver, align the marks, do a cold start. Likely the marks will not align, so rotate the resolver until the marks align, same as Z axis
Why not send it to Glentek for repair?
You don't need a disk. Copy the whole Cadkey99 directory onto the new Laptop.
Double click CKWIN.EXE. When the dialog box comes up asking to enter Cadkey serial number and Key code, click CANCEL....
There's somebody in Aus who rebuilds spindles, he goes by 'Machtool', maybe here, and certainly on other forums. He's mentioned Fadal spindles in the past, so I believe he's rebuilt them.
Glad I was able to help!
Is it possible you have a machine with extended Z, and for some reason it thinks it's a machine with standard Z height? You can check what it is in the parameters
It's easy to tell if your backlash adjustment is off, when interpolating a circle if there's a step at a the point when the X or Y axis leadscrew changes direction then the backlash comp is not...
I had a problem with a 4020, I talked to somebody at Fadalcnc asking for advice, I asked twice and gave contact details and was awaiting a call (twice), nobody ever called. And I have spent $'s with...
LOL, a word to the wise, sealing an RV is a much harder task then sealing a CNC. If a product seals an RV that has temp swings from 40f-110f then it's going to seal a cnc enclosure just fine.
Not on a machine, but on RV's, it stays pliable regardless of conditions. Plus as an adhesive it works very well, so it sticks and seals very well.
Apparently Sikaflex is what Haas uses (fwiw)
...
For sealing the machine SikaFlex construction sealant would probably be OK.

Mori Seiki should have parameters for those machines. I've got parameters for a 1979 SL3 from Mori seiki
You have to be carefull removing the tachometer, if you seperate the magnets form the commutator I think you loose some of the magnets magnetism. That servo is a DC servo that indicates you have an...
You need to change the metering fittings as well.
I've found uncoated carbide works ok at 100sfm and .001ipt, and coated carbide works well at 200sfm and .001ipt in 304. The coated carbide endmills will outlast uncoated endmills, and are worth the...
AFAIK there are electrically actuated clutches, either 12v or 24vdc. The pump is for lubrication
There's plenty of decent levels on ebay, I picked up a Fowler 12" .0005"/10" for $58 couple of years ago.
The bore of the Aluminum cylinder is 1.128", the o-ring is on the steel piston. The area of the bore is 1.0in2, so 1000# of force will read 1000# of pressure. The bar across the top goes across the...
Presumeably this only works with a motor with spindle encoder? I have a 91 that doesn't have an encoder on the spindle (no rigid tap)
(edit) has new belts as of 2 weeks ago
I've been running 8k rpm with no issues, with the chiller on it gets barely warm to the touch. So far so good. I agree, in retrospect I should have left it alone. The finish is slightly improved, and...
While doing some PM on the 4020 I decided to check the 10k spindle pre-load. per the fadal instructions it was .0035
1) Place a Pressure Gage (SVT-0066) on the table and align it with the Spindle...
Your bigger concern should be deflection rather than ultimate strength. Both 6063 and 6061 will have the same deflection under the same load for identical geometries.
In the 8020 catalog there's...
I use a generic Fanuc post in surfcam, aspire may have a generic fanuc post that will work, Fadal format 2
Try some YG Alu-Power 3 flute endmills. Likely you'll get the results your looking for.
Have you contacted Calmotion?
