Deckel FP41NC retrofit was created by marcel
Hi All,
I have a Deckel with a Heidenhein 310 control that’s dead. After reading all I could find on the Net about Deckel retrofits I decided to go the stepper root. I will go open loop for starters using three NAMA 42 three stack motors and Gecko 7 amp drives. The machine will be used for making moulds so high speed is not that important. I would like to get the spindle speed up, my problem is more with the spindle speed control and how I can control it from EMC. I don’t exactly know how those three gear changing motors work. I would appreciate it if anyone could help me with a wiring diagram for this machine and any information on the spindle control.
Regards
Marcel

How much are you willing to spend on the conversion?

Do the current drives and servos work?

After a bit of further research (ie, looking at pictures of the FP41) I am even more sure that steppers are not going to work well. There is an awful lot of metal moving around on those machines as the column slides on the table for Y, carrying all the X and Z with it.
It would be much better (and cheaper) to keep the existing motors and (if possible) the drives, and only replace the controller.
For reference, here are pictures of a machine of the same type:

(And very nice it is too)
