Upgrade Your Fadal CNC Machine with the TR65 4th/5th Axis DC Upgrade Kit (WIR-0077-ACDC-2)

Image
  Introduction If you have a Fadal CNC machine and you want to maximize efficiency, productivity, and accuracy in your machining operations, consider a 4th / 5th axis conversion. The TR65 4th/5th Axis DC Upgrade Kit (also compatible with WIR-0077-ACDC-2) allows you to convert your existing Fadal AC or DC machine to a 4th / 5th axis machine. In order to be compatible with the TR65 kit wiring option, a separate DC amplifier chassis is required, and this installation must be a pre-wire process with the kit. The TR65 kit comes with all the components necessary to add the 4th/5th axis which will work with your machine seamlessly and reliably.  In this post, we will look deeper into not only the benefits of this convert, but also the various components included in this kit and explain how it may be a smart choice for you. Why Add a 4th or 5th Axis? Adding a rotary axis (4th or 5th axis) to your Fadal CNC machine creates opportunities for: Complex Machining: You can do multi-surface ...

How to Maintain and Extend the Life of Your Fadal CNC Motor

Image
  For accurate manufacturing CNC machines are essential and the Fadal CNC motor is an essential component that provides you with the seamless and efficient machining process that you want when manufacturing. Maintenance is essential in order to gain the maximum life from the CNC motor and avoid costly interruptions. One of the critical pieces of the Fadal CNC motor is the Fadal Spindle Motor Fan motor fan which cools the spindle motor and prevents overheating damage. In this blog, we will discuss maintenance tips regarding your Fadal CNC motor, including the role of the Fadal Spindle Motor Fan, daily checks, and preventative measures to maximize performance. Importance of the Fadal Spindle Motor Fan The Fadal Spindle Motor Fan (Part #ELE-0124) is an OEM part that is designed to keep your CNC motor cool and running at optimal performance levels. Overheating is one of the leading causes of motor failures! The fan was created to keep the motor running cool at all times.  The Fada...
