I have a Deckel FP4M I want to replace the readout on and need a four axis readout.
This is the readout I need because of the Heidenhain scales.

http://www.heidenhain.com/en_US/php...70&tx_assistmepdb_pi1[show_article]=988175426

Anybody have a Heidenhain dealer they use?
Everyone I have contacted keep quoting the list price.
Any help or leads would be appreciated.
Kevin.

I have to ask : why the PT880 instead of the cheaper ND780 ?

Have a 780 on my FP1 and most nescecities are available : boltpatterns , multiple tools , edgefinding , multiple absolute positions , etc...

Can-Do Machinery Sales - Specializing in Digital Readouts - DRO's

(not to be confused with Mike Kandu of ebay)

Many folks have stacked a one axis Heidehain on top of the 3 axis DRO but I agree the Positip with integral 4 axis on one screen would be a neater arrangement, esp on the FP4M where you don't have Aktiv* on the DRO anyway. My FP2 arrangement below - (which Ross actually did the installation for)

*Although in theory, a Positip DRO could be configured to achieve Aktiv results (on a DC feed machine designed for Aktiv of course... like the FP4MK.....but I don't know anyone who had actually "done it"

Milacron,
That is how I was going to setup the FP4M but the single axis box is banged up.

One of the features that will come in handy is the diagnostic routine for the scales should any problems arise.

Thanks for all the help so far I will start calling around tomorrow.
Kevin.

Milacron,
PT880 model replaced the PT855.
The link in my original post has the specs from Heidenhain.
The list price was $2703.

The display arrived today!
It will take a little while to get the mount made and the scale ends switched over to work with new display.
I will post pic's when it is installed.
Thanks again everyone.
Kevin.
