The strength of
any company is not in a name but the people
behind it.
VMC Electric was started by me, one of
the original family members of Fadal and VP of Control Design until
1998, when I decided it was the best time to leave, three years
after the initial sale of Fadal Engineering to Giddings and Lewis in 1995.
Our goal at VMC Electric, to provide high quality
Original
Equipment
Manufacture repairs and
new replacement components for the Fadal CNC Mill, at the highest
value / lowest cost ratio to our customers and to do it with "old fashion" personable service.
Experience That Counts:
- starting in 1974 at Fadal, before the very first VMC45 machine.
- Personally worked directly with Fadal OEMs in the design/testing
of many control software features and the associated electronic components
i.e. motors, drives, amplifiers and CNC Control boards.
- As VP Control Design at Fadal, I was responsible for all the control aspects;
in the design, production and
maintenance, which included both software and hardware elements.
- Directly responsible for the engineering needs of the Fadal
Service Department, both internal service issues and distributor
support; sales and service.
Today, we also continue building on the expertise afforded through the
close relationship with many of the original equipment manufactures,
utilizing their tremendous engineering knowledge and experience. We
also partner with some of the original engineers that I worked with
during my time at Fadal. Nothing better than working with
those who originally designed and maintained the products we offer.
Collectively, we truly are the most qualified as to the OEM
control requirements of the Fadal machines.
Through this site we are currently offering many axis, spindle and
control components for the
Fadal Legacy line of VMC Machines.
With a goal to provide genuine OEM service parts at a
completive price for all new, remanufactured or repair Fadal parts.
We have designed this site to also provide
helpful information for many components related to the Machine CNC -
specializing with the Control, Axis and Spindle Drive systems.
We will be continually updating our site with
articles for service help and also points of interest, so check back
with us often.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have and questions or
comments.

David M. de Caussin

One of the commonly ask questions - "What made
Fadal so successful?"
The simple answer would be, "that many important things
came together at the right time".
But the one most important contributing aspect was simply the people!
Surprisingly, many today don't realize that Fadal was originally started by four
people.
Francis,
Adrian,
David
And
Larry -
Francis de Caussin and his three sons.
Very typical of our average customer base, the family business.
In starting Fadal as a typical machine shop, the normal day-to-day
struggle to just survive, provided a tremendous understanding for
what our customers are going through in their business. Appreciation
for what it takes to make it in the Manufacturing Indrustry, but most
of all compassion for their needs.
For example, we never looked at service as a means of profit; we
were just glad we did not lose too much money in service at any given point in time. Our goal was to
treat them fairly and do
what ever possible to help make our customers successful. Everything
else would work out in the long run, which it did. Even with
our employees, fairness was always the guideline.
As we starting building the very first machine, the next generation
of de Caussins joined in the effort and we eventually had four
generations working together!
Fadal was really a compilation of employees, suppliers and
distributors under the direction that together provided the absolute
best customer relationships. Besides a good machine at a good
price, it is the people that truly propelled the success. Very
unique in a time when things like that were uncommon
in the business world .

name Fadal.
