Anyone have one for sale? Looking for another one
Any machine with a 88 control and not 88HS is a mid 93 or earlier. To make them faster Fadal machined the column to accept the Metric pitch ballscrews and eventually got away from DC motors. So there...
Is there an update we missed? X6 did everything we wanted so we bailed after X7. But the tool manager always crashes. It may be up for 2 minutes and it may crash right away. WIN764
We purchased a BR80/150 4 years ago. The machine replaced a huge Haas machine because we needed a really wide Y axis. Upon initial starting of the machine the conversational programming never worked....
Things I would be looking at
1. Gibbs on the Z axis might be out
2. Servo coupling might be damaged
Ok first of all couplers can develop grooves from the key...that can cause huge backlash. Enough to want to sell the machine. The other thing is that with just about any machine with boxed ways you...
That can also be a dead and dying power supply.
Numatix it appears was a version of the original Rubicon that was developed by a software engineer that is long dead. At some point there was Cincinnati CNCs that had the revolution control that was...
This year there is
Calmotions 527F (Couple of the original Fadal guys sons, uses Ethernet instead of the back panel board for quick data between card $8000.00

That's absolutely correct. We shoot for 600 (both ways...which is important). All 3 axis at 595-600 and your making very accurate parts. What was wrong with your memory? I have lots of different...

This should help you understand the metric tap conversion for rigid tapping.
1 inch = 25.4mm
M12 x 1.75 = 1.75mm per rotation
1mm = .039375
So take 1.75 * .039375 = .0689 per rev...
40mm ballscrews on the mid size ones IIRC, much better chip control, better designed ways, more ways on the bigger machines, improved rapids and processor speed and the list goes on and on. Fadal...
Orientation factor is set in your SETP area but I dont think that will help you. Is this a new to you machine?
You sure can BUT the DC motors are very long and have very high torque, tach, resolver. You can get AC and DC Fadal motors everywhere.
There were specific spindle cards. To have rigid tapping you need the encoder, the rigid tapping software on the drive and wire from encoder to spindle drive, the encoder line from spindle to axis...
Anyone have a list scanned for machine parameters? We need em. t32-3
It looks very good...very very good. I wonder how fast that controller is. Any shots of the electrical cabinets?
Cant seem to find any picture of the new fadals since 2014. No videos...nothing. I know they are out there but nobody is talking. Maybe that is a good thing.
They look like the mechanics are the exact same as the old Fadals but with metric ballscrew lengths and a new controller. Even the spindle looks identical
What did you do with that 3016? That thing has a ton of usable parts on it 812 us the single phase xformer.
If you think your loosing position you should tune the servos first them look at your couplers.
That machine was in good condition before you started
You should be able to reach the center of the slot on a 4020. Fadal did starting milling them out before they changed the casting pattern. The end of the table there only supports the way cover and...
-4 uses eeproms in u7 and u10 designations on the board. -5 uses a different placing. You cannot mix and match them it will not work. So -4 eeproms can go to -4 boards and -5 to -5.
Depending on the axis your EEprom software may not work with other cards well in the system. So you cant run a 1400-4 system with -5 or -6 cards and you cannot run the older 1010-4 (pre 92 eeprom...
CAT40 tool holders from Command tool USA are quite possible the worlds best. Don't buy what you don't need but maybe 4 drill chucks, 8 ER32 collet holders, a facemill (2-2.5"), 2 ea endmill holders...
If your not familiar with setting back lash just enter BL,1,9,9,9 (Sets X left, center right backlash to .0009. The type in BL,2,9,9,9 (Sets Y left, center, right blacklash to .009) then enter...
