  Introduction In the world of CNC machining, staying current with your control technology isn't just about convenience — it's about staying competitive. Aging control systems can limit performance, reduce reliability, and increase the risk of costly downtime. If your Fadal CNC machine is still running a 1400-1 or 1400-2 control, it may be time for a meaningful upgrade. The PCB-0281 Fadal Control Upgrade Kit is a comprehensive, all-in-one solution designed to bring your legacy Fadal machine up to the modern 1400-4 control standard. In this blog, we'll cover what's included in the kit, why upgrading matters, compatibility details, and how this kit helps keep your Fadal CNC running at peak performance. What Is the PCB-0281 Fadal Control Upgrade Kit? The PCB-0281 is a genuine Fadal OEM replacement kit that upgrades legacy Fadal CNC machine controls from the 1400-1 or 1400-2 models to the advanced 1400-4 model. Rather than purchasing individual boards and components s...

  Introduction In CNC machining, precision is everything. Even the smallest positioning error can affect part quality, repeatability, and overall productivity. That’s why feedback devices like resolvers play a critical role in your Fadal CNC machine. The ENC-0008 Fadal Style Resolver Assembly is designed to deliver accurate position feedback for Glentek motors used in Fadal machines. Built for reliability and performance, this resolver helps ensure your machine maintains tight tolerances and smooth motion control. In this blog, we’ll explore what the ENC-0008 does, why it matters, its compatibility, testing basics, and how it helps keep your Fadal CNC running at peak performance. What Is the ENC-0008 Resolver Assembly? The ENC-0008 is a Fadal-style resolver assembly used as a position feedback device in Fadal CNC machines. Its primary job is to convert the mechanical position of a motor shaft into electrical signals that the CNC controller can interpret. This continuous fee...

  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 ...

Functionality in CNC Machines The orientation cylinder operates together with the control system of Fadal CNC machines to achieve proper spindle alignment. The system functions properly to achieve three main outcomes, which ...

  The High Power LED Machine Light, WIR-0114, is an excellent lighting solution intended to enhance visibility and safety in Fadal CNC machining work environments. With constant 1500 lumens of brightness, this LED machine light provides the clear illumination needed in the work area thus allowing the operators to be precise and confident in their machining operations. What Is The High Power LED Machine Light, WIR-0114? The High Power WIR-0114 LED Machine Light is a very nicely designed lighting accessory that is made for giving illumination to only Fadal CNC machines. It gives the concentrated and uniform light on the spot where it is most—on the cutting and machining area. It is very easy to use and is very functional so it can be said that it is a practical solution to the old traditional machine lighting without the added complication. Key Features and Performance The 1500 lumens light output from the machine light reduces the shadows and improves the contrast around the critica...

 If you run a Fadal CNC machine, you know how important it is to watch your spindle load. The Digital Load Meter for Fadal Legacy Pendants (ELE-0108) gives you clear, reliable readings so you can see exactly what's happening during machining. It's a solid step up from the old analog meters that can be hard to read and less dependable. See What's Really Going On During Cutting The ELE-0108 shows you precise spindle load numbers, so you're never guessing about what's happening. You can tell when a tool is getting dull, when you need to dial back your feeds, or when the spindle motor is working too hard. Catching overcurrent problems early means you can stop issues before they turn into expensive repairs. This meter is built specifically for Fadal Legacy Pendants, so it fits right in with what you already have. And honestly, being able to read a clear digital display beats squinting at an old needle gauge any day. Setup Won't Give You a Headache The meter incl...
