I appreciate the reply and information - I was starting to think you went silent on here. I've got it mostly running (although I had almost everything mechanical disconnected, I tend to be very anxious with new code until I've tested it thoroughly), I tested the spindle motor without air - that sure...

And I just finished another project, I'm going to be busy for the next month and a half (possibly two) as I've got two more projects in the works - one machine we're working on in house and a line I'll be programming in two weeks. So it may be a bit before I switch back to working on the Fadal. I've...

It took a little bit to get back to this, I've been all over the place this week, thankfully it's mainly been for drumming up more business. Alight, it took a bit to get it to be able to move the servos. Since everything is wired and I haven't written the configuration to the KFlop yet, I'll get to ...

I went over my wiring today (at least what I had left to do for wiring up the operator panel) and finished what I needed to before I could test tomorrow. I also bit the bullet and cut and soldered a resistor on the two servo amplifier boards that weren't in current control mode (torque mode) yet, if...

I'll be back on this soon, I'm almost done with an installation and service orders I'm working on.

My second set of adapters for the signal wires (+- 10V signal cables [I could be wrong on the voltage here, I haven't verified that it operates in this range] that go to the 1010 axis cards) plugs in and a continuity test shows I have continuity up to the terminals on the servo amplifiers. Now I nee...

So a little over a year ago I decided it was time to bring some machining in house and picked up a 1993 Fadal 4020HT for a reasonable price. It sat for a while, due to the high price electricians kept quoting me to add another breaker panel and route power - plus I was busy building and installing o...

Any suggestions on things to beware of for this retrofit? I've currently got my machine most of the way wired (I'm waiting on some force guided relays for the safety circuit currently before I finally put power back to it). I will say I am not swapping out the servo amplifiers yet, so I don't know h...
