Deckel Retrofit FP4A

so ive found someone that already integrated the gearbox, but as for now he hasnt yet anwsered me to my request to share what he did there exactly

does somebody know what component he used to create this interface?

Thank you

not on this forum and i dont wanna name him
he doesnt wanna share it, which i can understand so i will try to edit
Marks (RotarySMP) C component which is thankfully fully commented

So quick update
i manages to hook up the tool clamping to the mesa card
Wuhuuu

Well but i noticed something on my machine
and i cant get rid of the feeling that something is missing there

does somebody know?

can you post an picture with more environment please,
i'm not shure from which point of view this is..

It is missing a mess of coolant stains, dried up oil and swarf. Ever CNC has that.

Hi,

this hole is normal. they have used the same steelcast for many versions, on manual or machines with only on axis motor or additional Handwheels there have been bearings and gears mounted.
If you look through this hole, you should see the Y axis Ballscrew.

Pay attention to the oil levels, theses are for the transmission and the spindle bearings.

Do you own an maintance manual?

Have you seen the IC Haus Chips for converting 11 micro amp analog to digital ? Just put a Heidenhain 600 EXE series PDF on Marks - Maho thread - might be of some use for what they sold . Interesting you are thinking of making your own converters - could you describe more of what you are trying to come up with ? Do you make your own circuit boards ?
Gear change ---- There was a web site ( Westleys project ? ) where he was converting DECKEL to newer control , which had his matrix for gear changing . But I can't find it any more . I will keep looking though .
If you write the code for gear change could you consider making it configurable for 1 - 2 - 3 gear shifting motors ?

Mr Speaky --- Thank You for for all of the Phots and your continued progress reports !
