Heidenhain 1980's vintage Active DRO... anyone remember the cost for a rebuilt one ?

Milacron · Jul 18, 2016

Heidenhain TNC 113...... three axis like Deckel used on the final generation mills that had DC drive. Seems like Singer and/or FPS used to sell them....but the cost may be way up there without a "core" to trade.... anyone know ?

=============================

(on edit) Ok, here it is and once you deduct the VAT, the price is not bad at all.....except that is with exchange...suspect the price is pretty painful without....

Interesting.... I suspected FPS might have something like that since they have them on their new machines. Only problem is the price ! In comparison I can buy a brand new Heidenhain ND780 for $970.

I also wonder if they are truely plug and play....from a plug standpoint....are they still using the "antique" round 9 pin connectors on brand new DRO's ? If not, the 9 pin round to 15 pin D sub type adapters are around $100 each !

Of course in theory one could solder up your own 15 pin D sub connectors, but it is a PITA.

I am sure FPS has a solution for that problem
But I still have this Vitel unit It worked the last time i plugged it in

Sorry Peter but that thing is just too "un official" looking for my taste.... I'd sooner "straight wire" beyond the Active function and put in an old Heidenhain VRZ DRO than that.

I'll bet you are the same and that is why you still own it, right ? :stirthepot:

It is fascinating that someone besides Heidenhain jumped on the "Active" bandwagon for a few years.
