Your rotary unit is repaired, reassembled and run in for 10 hours. It is then re-inspected, all final adjustments and calibrations are performed to the original manufactures specification.

The original Fadal rotary heads are still one of the best overall designed attachments for the Fadal machine. While there are many imported rotary heads that might "look good" on the outside, it"s the inside that really counts. The simple fact is the Fadal rotary tables were specifically designed to take a crash and keep on working.

Many different rotary heads were made 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.

The very first rotary table sold that was sold on the VMC45 in 1981. It was designed and manufactured by Fadal for the VMC45, it never realized full production after production the VMC45 was stopped.

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

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. And a B-axis crash usually resulted in the customer having to return the unit for repair. 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. The addition of the trunion clutch was so important because it virtually eliminated the disruption of operation for a service call.

We have that machine 15XT 1996. We actually (Very carefully) drilled and line bored alignment pin holes through a one in. steel ground 4140 plate and into the table. The plate moved the 4th axis assembly to the right over the chip guard... on the x axis until the limit was about the same as the back edge of the 4th rotary face plate... but not so far out that it was beyond the chip guard edge, or you might hit the sheet metal. Also, when centering on the Y we had to pick the best position to accommodate that travel to keep from hitting the door and in the y +, the Z chip guard.

The 4th mounted to the mounting plate is mounted so that it can be adjusted on the mounting plate... if necessary. Though we have never needed to adjust it since the first mounting to the plate. With removal from the table and replacement the assembly repeat has been always in the 5 tenths.

The HRT160-2 has two rotary spindles to allow two workpieces to be loaded. This reduces the number of tool changes and the number of times the machine stops to load parts. Requires a Haas mill with...

Specializing in Fadal CNC rebuilding, We disassemble the machine complete and inspect each and every part, checking the machine and base ways for wear, flatness and alignment. We are world wide and taking a major leap forward in rebuilding rigid box way constructed machines. In the rebuilding process minimizing friction between to way surfaces ensures effective advanced performances at a high feed rate. In re-scraping a machine or rebuilding the ways to a new machine tolerance we are ensuring the customer that there machine is performing to the highest level of speed and accuracy that the machine is designed for.
