I have a 1993 Haas VF3 4th axis prewired so I need an A Axis driver first of all.
Questions:

1. Is the A axis driver card different than the other X,Y,Z driver cards?

2. The more complicated questions...
I bought a Troyke DL10 Rotary table (tailstock, chuck & all) (chair) The price was right.
It was hooked up to a Clausing Stingray with Fanuc control. So, it has an Fanuc AC servo motor that is belt drive to the rotary table.
Does anyone know where I can source a Haas compatible motor to adapt to this table?
Does anyone have a wiring schematic for the A axis output on the Haas?

Thanks for any ideas!

I modified an old bostomatic table to a tm2. I ordered a cable set, motor, and zero return switch from the brushless haas 5c parts list and fit everything. A couple parameter changes and all works well. Think it was only about 1200 for everything.

I have brushed motors in my machine and would like to not use a control box to adapt the table. I think that I would need one if I used brushless servo motors. But it might make sense if I buy a newer machine in the future...

Or could I adapt the existing ac servo motor thru a Haas control box to the brush drive card?

No, well, maybe. Fanuc encoder will not work. You could order the dc motor with encoders and cable set for the non ac unit. If you could figure out what the dc motors voltage is, and find an encoder, you could do it cheaper, but you will have a lot more time in to it.

It looks like a Haas HA5C Brush Motor 36-4175B is the brush version of what you are suggesting. With a Magmotor part #500280159.
I will see what I can find out in this route tomorrow....
