 If you’ve been around CNC machines long enough—especially Fadal VMCs—you already know how important the amplifier is to the overall performance of the system. But not all amplifiers are made the same. The reliability, safety, and precision of your machine often come down to one small but powerful component: the amplifier. And when it comes to long-lasting, intelligently designed options, Glentek Amplifiers stand out for all the right reasons. What Sets Glentek Amplifiers Apart Whether you have a shop with high traffic or are handling a few machines in-house, downtime is expensive. The amplifier controls axis motor movement, so even a small failure can cause significant disruption. That's why selecting a quality, well-supported amplifier is a smart choice—not a repair choice. At ITS CNC, we supply the ITS Fadal DC Brush Amplifier (AMP-0021-ITS)—a direct equivalent of Glentek AMP-0021 as well as AMC AMP-0015 models. But we don't offer it just for sale. See the AMP-0021-ITS Glent...

If you're still relying on floppy disks or slow RS232 connections to transfer programs to your Fadal CNC, it's time for an upgrade. The Fadal USB Mass Storage Controller, 32GB Memory, Dual Switching Serial Ports USB-FADAL-KIT brings your legacy machine into the modern age with 32GB storage, dual serial ports, and lightning-fast data transfers. Why Your Fadal Needs This Upgrade Older Fadal controls often struggle with: Slow program loading via RS232 Limited storage capacity Fragile floppy disk drives Compatibility issues with modern PCs The USB-FADAL-KIT solves these problems by: Replacing outdated storage methods with USB connectivity Supporting USB drives up to 2TB (includes a 16GB USB stick) Dramatically speeding up program transfers Adding advanced file management features Key Features & Benefits 1. Faster, More Reliable Data Transfers Load programs via TA command (full transfer) or DNC/DNCX (drip-feed) No more waiting for slow serial transfers Works with all standard U...

Fadal CNC machines are renowned for their precision and reliability in industrial machining. A critical component that ensures their optimal performance is the amplifier, which controls motor movement and power distribution.
