Hi all,
Cnc beginner and hobbist here. Picked up a 89-90 Fadal 4020 (sometimes I can't help myself) . Was in use at a tool and die shop(watched it run), has a Calmotion usb upgrade. Was running when I picked it up(watched it) . Current drive boards state 2007 on them.
Moved, unloaded, positioned, rough leveled, checked power transformer for appropriate leads- output taps. Now powered by Electram rpc. My power can shift up to about 6 volts a day I've observed. Left it set for 230v tap . Output at breaker box is about 232-242 across legs . Machine is 40 ft away.
Go to power up and it stays stuck on loading cnc page. All boards appear lit and axis drive boards blink green. Have requests sent to fadalcnc and calmotion, am in contact with Calmotion awaiting second reply. I can't seem to see anything glaringly wrong when I went through the online manuals section.
I've seen some fairly amazing experience and advice on here in my years of creeping, hoping someone can weigh in steer me straight. Thanks
Not sure how to add pics here. Can see on ig @ sasknomadicmind
