    4th axis Identification. AC or DC

    I've been looking for a DC VH65 4th axis. When looking at the ID tags on a DC 4th is is listed as DC?

    All of the AC untis I have found all have an A/C stamped behind the model number. Can anyone confirm that if the Tag is not stamped A/C the unit is a DC model? If you have a DC unit can you post an image of what the ID tag on the end looks like?

    Thank you

    I don't ever remember seeing an AC or DC on the tag. The DC units have one large connecting plug while the AC have two smaller ones. Also, The DC motor cover Doesn't have a bump out on it where AC motor cover does.
    Check out these Photos; Notice the motor cover on the VH65 with the green tag. That's an AC. The other is a DC. Kinda hard to see the cables but you can tell by the cover.

    Thats a DC unit. Note the one large plug that runs with the air hose for the brke.
    Here is a better picture of an AC. Note the L shaped cover and dual plug.
