All Fadal Rotary Tables Repaired or Complete Rebuild

 

We service all Rotary Tables and Heads attached to Fadal Machines:
Many different rotary heads were sold with Fadal machines throughout the years of production.  A 4th or 5th rotary axis was one of the most popular machine options.  In the early 90's we started shipping all machines "4th axis ready" which means the machine has all the wiring necessary.  You basically only needed an amplifier and a axis controller card with software.  Contact us if you thinking of adding a 4th axis, we offer all the necessary components.

As you'll see below, we are the most qualified to repair your rotary table.  Having been there from the beginning, we know exactly what your table needs to bring it up to original specifications.  Simply call Toll Free 1-888-727-1887  for any questions you might have.


Brief Rotary Table History:
The very first rotary table sold that was sold on the Fadal VMC45 in 1981.  It was designed and manufactured by Fadal for the VMC45, more of a prototype, never realized full production after the VMC45.

 
Troyke Mfg. Co.
Afterwards, with the introduction of the VMC40 in 1984, we began offering the TROYKE rotary products as 4th axis option.  The table used an interesting full contact bearing surface using Turcite between the faceplate and the casting with radial bearing for support for the faceplate spindle.  Very few of theses units remain in the field today.  If needed, we can provide service for these units.


Soon after 1987, we started adapting many of the popular Japanese rotary tables.  Some customers would send us their tables and we adapt our motors and 4th axis interface to them.  Eventually we started adding the Tsudakoma, Tecnara and Nikken rotary tables as a direct option to all machines.

 

The Two Most Popular Fadal Rotary Tables:
VH65 - After years of installing and also repairing the many various manufactures rotary tables we sold, we saw what different designs worked and didn't work in the machines.  The second rotary head Fadal designed was the VH65.  The VH65 stands for Vertical or Horizontal mount and 6.5" diameter faceplate. 
We incorporated all the best features of the Japanese designs.  After that we created the TR65, the VH-5C and the V300.


TR65 - The TR65 (Tilt/Rotate, 6.5" dia. faceplate) had a unique clutch system build into the trunion for the B-axis.  One of the biggest problems with 5-axis programming was that is was easier to crash than to program.  With this unique design, if the Z-axis crashed into the part, instead of damaging the gears it would simply slip the trunion clutch.  The CNC  knows the exact position of the B-axis because of the rotary scale feedback that is directly attached to the trunion and not the motor.


As can you see, its our knowledge and experience that best qualifies us
to repair or completely rebuild your rotary tables!


Here's a sample of what we typically get in to repair:

One can only wonder what's happened to some of the units we've rebuilt.

Common Failures:
 - Coolant contamination causes motor and rotary bearing failures, mostly to do with seals failing.
 - Ring and/or worm gear damage from excessive use and/or tools crashing into the rotary spindle.

  - Face plate spindle damage, we had one unit that actually collapsed part of the spindle shaft.  With that unit we were able to repair the spindle, saving the customer the cost of replacing the entire face plate spindle.


Here's a sample of what you get back:


Initial Inspection upon receipt of rotary unit:
  - Main gear and worm gear
  - Bearings and Seals
  - Motor and Cable  
You will receive an estimate of repair 2 days after receiving rotary unit.
Repairs take an average of 5 working days after receiving approval.
Your rotary unit is repaired, reassembled and run in for 10 hours.  It is then reinspected, all final adjustments and calibrations are performed to the original manufactures specification.
We warranty our complete Rebuilds for one year and we warranty our Repairs for 6 months.
