I'm certainly interested in anything you find for the fadals, my employer has a few and just recently replaced the cpu board in one which was over $1000 itself. they're probably going to be the next to go after the hitachi seiki gets replaced, they'll be the oldest in the shop after its gone On M

Thanks Kirk , Tom and Jon for the quick replies, and the good suggestions. The time frame is very loose. We have a FADAL 4020 that's been doing all we need for years, and another one that's been dead for years. At the end of last year I mentioned to the machinist that we should probably get

where I work we have a Shizuoka with an old Bandit control. The three servo drives still appear to work. It has tachometer feedback to the servo drives, and resolver feedback to the computer portion, which is in a coma. I would like to convert this to an EMC2 servo system with quadrature enc
