I have a 1997 Fadal VMC15xt with cnc 88 hs I'm refurbishing. I removed the Z axis motor during the move into the shop and just replaced it. As I’m still waiting for the 3 ph power to be wired in, I cannot power up yet to see if there is an issue with Z axis orientation, which I do not expect there to be, as the encoder should just pickup the next mark. I’ve done this once before with a 1989 Fadal, and had no problems.
Is there something wrong with this assumption? I recently read a thread about someone having problems after removing a z axis motor and replacing it in the same manner I described, but I cannot find that tread now.
If someone can explain to me how I’m wrong in the assuming as I stated...it would be helpful.
Thanks -Steve
