Retrofit Leadwell MCV 600XL

After accidentally crashing the spindle orientation sensor and having extra 2kw china servos its time to be out with the old in with the new.





As fanuc motors had tapered axis first thing is to make new holes on ballscrew couplers, then proceed to wiring

Why you changing the Fanuc redcaps. I think I read a while ago they can be used.

That looks like a fun project....

did the Z axis Bend on a crash you shoudt hardly check the Axis moving
as offen on this mashines the PTFE line bends break there are made for this event to take the Hardest and be replaced

I have no time to play with red caps, maybe sometime , one company from Vietnam makes fanuc compatible drives.

pl7i92 - It was not a physical crash , while removing the spindle cartridge for bearing change I broke the sensor ( fsh 1378 price around 1000usd )

What did you pay for the 2KW servo's? and drives? If you dont mind me asking.

I ordered them from one company in Bulgaria this is link to their shop Vallder

They have a local distributor in Serbia, because owner is from here so items get delivered directly, Prices are without VAT.


After careful measuring it seems that Y drive has short cables, also originally cables have been inside protective hose and because of connectors on encoder cable it will be impossible to pull them trough. So I will reuse the original cables , lots of soldering but less complicated than to pull trough all new cables.

Its on their contact page I already sent you
