Hi.

I have here Fanuc tape center DV machine. Control seems to be 11M.

There is 4th axis servo motor connected to machine and it can be drive with pulse generator in handle mode and position display shows motion in 4th axis. 4th axis does not go to reference, servo keep rotating for ever if you try drive 4th to reference. There is no rotary table connectet to 4th axis servomotor and i wonder what type and manufacturer and model rotary tables has been used in fanuc tape centers? Fanuc is from 1986. And 4th axis servo is still in fanuc box in floor Machine has been used 1500hr. Machine has been in training purposes last 25years.

Rumor says that in 1986 there has not been enough money to pay rotary table and there has been money only for connect servo for 4th axis

I have manual rotary table with 1:90 gear ratio. I wonder if that unit can be connect to fanuc as 4th axis device... Is there enough torgue in servo motor to rotate that 10" table?
