To any Fadal experts here I have a question. I have a Fadal 15XT with
the 4th axis. I would like to add a 5th. Mainly for indexing. So I
would put another rotary table on the existing 4th axis, at 90 degrees
to the 4th axis, for some jobs that require it. I have one job now
that I bolt an index head to the 4th axis and I need to index the head
90 degrees in the middle of the job to finish the part. I have another
mill with a Centroid control on it that I added a 4th axis to. I would
like to use this 4th axis on the Fadal too. But the Fadal uses
resolvers instead of encoders. Does anybody here know if I can replace
the encoder on my home made 4th axis with a resolver, tune the servo
amp, configure the Fadal for 5 axes, and go to town?
