How Glentek Amplifiers Enhance Fadal CNC Performance

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. Among the leading amplifier manufacturers for Fadal machines is Glentek, known for its high-quality, durable, and technologically advanced amplifiers.

This blog explores the role of Glentek amplifiers in Fadal CNC machines, their key features, benefits, and why they are a superior choice for maintaining and upgrading CNC systems.

Understanding Fadal CNC Amplifiers


Amplifiers in Fadal CNC machines are responsible for:

  • Increasing signal strength to drive motors accurately

  • Ensuring smooth axis movement (X, Y, Z)

  • Providing fault detection and diagnostics

Fadal initially partnered with Glentek to develop their 8192-line count amplifiers, later collaborating with Advanced Motion Control (AMC) for additional models.

Types of Fadal Amplifiers Available

  1. New 2014 Fadal Amplifiers by ITS – Latest models with improved efficiency

  2. New & Remanufactured Glentek Amplifiers – High-performance, cost-effective solutions

  3. Repair Services for Glentek Amplifiers – Extends lifespan of existing units

Key Features of Glentek Amplifiers

1. Advanced Fault Detection

  • LED indicators for quick troubleshooting

  • Three-stage current output management:

    • Continuous mode (100% power)

    • Peak mode (200% power for 3 seconds)

    • Fold-back mode (prevents shutdown by reducing to continuous output)

2. Enhanced Durability

  • Protective coating to resist dust and metal chips

  • Robust design for long-term industrial use

3. Precision Motor Control

  • Supports 5000 & 8192-line encoders for high-resolution feedback

  • Optimized for 6-pole motors

4. Easy Adjustments for Optimal Performance

Three critical potentiometers must be tuned after installation:

  • Compensation Pot – Stabilizes motor response

  • Signal Gain Pot – Adjusts signal strength

  • Balance Pot – Ensures even power distribution

Benefits of Using Glentek Amplifiers in Fadal Machines

1. Improved Machine Longevity

  • Reduces wear on motors and mechanical parts

  • Prevents sudden failures with smart fault detection

2. Smother Operation & Higher Accuracy

  • Minimizes servo lag and vibration

  • Ensures consistent torque for precision machining

3. Better Diagnostics & Maintenance

  • Clear LED indicators for quick troubleshooting

  • Prevents misdiagnosis of amplifier vs. motor issues

4. Cost-Effective Solutions

  • Remanufactured options available for budget-friendly upgrades

  • Repair services extend the life of existing amplifiers

Installation & Safety Guidelines

Pre-Installation Precautions

  • Disconnect all power before installation

  • Use qualified technicians for safe setup

Post-Installation Adjustments

  • Fine-tune Compensation, Signal Gain, and Balance pots

  • Verify motor synchronization using Fadal’s diagnostic tools
