CNC RETROFIT ASSESSMENT
Share your FANUC, Mitsubishi, Brother or other CNC model. We will review rotary-table size, controller compatibility, native handwheel operation and a practical alternative to costly OEM axis expansion.
Not sure what to prepare? Read the CNC 4th axis retrofit quote checklist first.
We start with the CNC make, machine model, control model and available cabinet space.
Workpiece envelope, fixture concept and required indexing positions determine the right table size.
We identify the integration method, check whether the original CNC handwheel can be used, and define a practical external-axis scope.
These CNC controls are commonly encountered, but the exact machine model, available I/O or communication method, cabinet space and required program flow must be reviewed before a recommendation.
Send the machine make and model, CNC control, workpiece dimensions and weight, required machining angles, plus photos of the machine table or electrical cabinet when available.
On supported TCP/IP integrations, the original CNC handwheel can jog the external 4th or 5th axis without an additional MPG or pendant. The exact control model must be confirmed.
Yidai external axis retrofit advantages
Matched rotary tables, servo hardware and external control options for indexed machining projects.
Common CNC systems can be supported after the exact control model, communication interface and machine configuration are confirmed.
On supported TCP/IP integrations, operators can jog the 4th or 5th axis from the CNC's built-in handwheel without adding a separate MPG or control pendant.
A complete external-axis project can substantially reduce investment compared with an OEM additional-axis package, depending on the machine and project scope.
External control is intended primarily for indexed positioning and multi-face machining. Full simultaneous interpolation requires a separate CNC and servo-architecture review.
