Axis Motors

 

Our Parts Are Genuine OEM - Not "Substitutions"

We offer three types of OEM Baldor and Glentek Motors for Fadal Machines:
- New 2013 Motors
- Remanufactured OEM
- Repair Service
No core exchange deposit is required.  Saves time and shipping costs!

 

Our Reman Motors: Remanufactured by Glentek
Besides selling new motors, we offer True OEM Remans! Remanufactured to original and in some cases "better than your original" condition.  How is that? Not only are they put through rigorous factory testing and repair, the motors are also brought up to the latest design revision possible.
You can purchase a "True Reman" motor or to save the most, simply send us your motor and we'll have it repaired by Glentek.

Total Engineering Support!
With us you're not just getting a "Part In A Box!"
Here's four key examples of the Total Support our customers receive:
Diagnoses - Direct help in determining if you really do need to replace the motor. When working with engineers that design the machine, we can help determine if there's other elements in the servo system that also need to be addressed before replacing a motor.
Documentation - We provide very simple and concise, step by step instructions on how to install and get your replacement motor in and running.  With our documentation we also include Preventative Maintenance tips to help avoid future failures.
Warranty - Just like "the old days", we value our relationship with each and every customer. We are driven by fairness and committed to your satisfaction. Click on the About Us page to learn about what guides us today.
Support - With the combination of our original engineering knowledge and direct interaction with both Glentek and AMC engineers, you are getting the absolute best product support possible at installation and beyond.
The axis motors are one of the most important aspects of the machine. Why buy from someone without the engineering experience and the manufacturer's direct support?

Knowledge and Experience you can Trust:
Below are a few examples of our expertise with axis motors.

Axis Hardware Development:
- DC motor/amplifier design, evaluation, testing and production QC, continually evaluated many different DC Brush motors and amplifiers, from just about every manufacture in the industry.
- AC motor/amplifier design, evaluation, testing and production transition, working directly with Glentek engineers to develop both the AC Brushless motors and amplifiers, then creating a second source solution with Baldor.
- Glass Scales; integration with servo control of motors
- Temperature controlled ballscrews

Axis Software Development:
- 1010 Axis Software
- High Speed DNC - 1000 blocks per second
- Programmable Servo Gains
- Advanced Feed Forward
- Manual Pulse Dry-Run
- Volumetric Compensation (never released)

That's True Knowledge and Experience.

Why It's Important To Buy Our OEM Products:

• New or Used? - beware, some motors are being sold as "new" or "reman" when actually they are just cleaned-up, painted and passed off as such. 
  The manufactures serial number is the only way to tell if the unit is new and has all the latest design revisions. The date code is imbedded in the serial number coding and it's easy to tell if your getting the "Real McCoy".
   

• Mechanicals - all motors are not the same!.  They may look the same; "cast the same shadow" but that doesn't mean they are the same. You don't know what you getting until to disassemble the motor and see how it was designed. 
  Experience has taught that lesson. Twice, years ago at Fadal we tried numerous motors and they all failed long term tests.  It wasn't until we disassemble completely did we find out how lousy some "Name Brand" motors were built. 
  Servo Motors aren't your ordinary washing machine motors. They require quality and precision in all aspects.
  We plan on adding more specific information about motors soon for both new and repaired motors.
   

• Input Power - The factory amplifier outputs are matched for specific motor windings.  Too little current and the motor doesn't produce enough torque (thrust).  Too much current motors windings will over heat, "melting" the insulation and/or windings.
   

• Feedback - The factory motors have a carefully designed velocity feedback system. This is a critical design aspect for smooth contouring. Imperfections in the velocity feedback causes a "ripple" effect in the smooth operation, which translates directly in the finish.
  Many other design aspects effect the feedback performance, here's just a few:
    1) DC Tachometer designs without a silver commutator produce inferior reference voltage.
    2) AC motors, the type of encoder will effect ripple; actual line count(quality) or interpolated line count (cheaper).
    3) Feedback coupling - only a constant velocity coupler can eliminate alignment errors between the motor shaft and the feedback shaft.
   

• UL-CE-CSA Electrical Ratings - to commonly, substitute/imitation parts have not gone through the expensive process of having the motor approved by the rigorous testing for safety and RF standards.  Qualified replacements must be used In order to maintain these ratings and not impact the Electrical Code approval of the machine.
