So I picked up a second Fp4nc, I really didn't need the machine or do I have room for it but it came with an st40 rotary indexer. The machine is an 86 fliphead where as the machine I already have is an older non flip. It has the newer Bosch boards and an extra set for the rotary. This is the good stuff now for the negative. The owner said it was working then after having it sit for several years tried to get it going again after replacing the battery in the power supply and could'nt get it up and running. Knowing these facts I made a conservative offer and the machine is now sitting at home. My plan is to grab the indexer for my machine and try and get machine operating and then sell it as a runner. I have a spare Siemens control and full set of Bosch cards as spares for my first machine so I figured I could probably make it go. Now in the event I cant make it go I will part it out. So my questions for the forum are as follows, Does anyone have a manual for the st40 indexer, and how much money could one get out of parting out a machine? The more valuable parts being the Bosch drive with newer style cards, Siemens control, the hand pendant is also in nice shape. If I would scrap it I will tear it down to the castings so I will also have all the other bits to sell as well. So to sum it up, are these old Deckel nc's worth more as a whole machine or as parts? The machine as a whole has seen a fair amount of use but the ways all seem to be in nice shape, have no idea of the gearbox and spindle unless I get it going. I think If I was able to recoup my costs and gain the 4th axis I would be happy.
