Fadal ATC Alignment - Part 2
Ғылым және технология
Follow along as I take apart the carousel to figure out what is out and how to fix the ATC - I've never done this before, so we're going to learn together. After going through a few steps and reaching out to other Fadal owners or support (FadalCNC), I find out how exactly to take apart the ATC and find the root of the issue! Next step? - Fix it!
Have any questions or feedback on what I'm doing (or did)? - Let me know! Leave a comment below.

I have a mini and a monster 5/8 keyless. I was in a hurry and did a tool change . When that drill that was in the chuck hit the work it bent the shit out of that plate. Had to take it to a friends place (he has large steel flat tables ) use a sledge hammer and a piece of aluminum and worked back. That was 10 years ago . It's pretty forgiving.
I have no idea what reasonable tolerance is on that part, but its interesting to see how it was all put together. MUCH simpler than you'd think for a precision mill.
Hey if anything an opportunity to clean up parts of the machine you didn't before. From the Fadal I ran the ATC had more play and still worked fine. Maybe some of the forks need replaced but I wouldn't not use it if it's not dropping tools. Also keep an eye for chips in that ATC. I scrap many a part from chips getting on tools as that cover doesn't always keep chips out. Awesome videos man keep it up.
we just set it up to the highest spot so the head pushes it down slightly :) sleeve on the holder has a small guide-in slope so not a big deal even if it is 2 mm ... will go into the ATC
That's not a problem.
I wouldnt say that there is a problem here
Way to much time to split a hair :) when u will put 5 holders in that next to each other... it will bend way way more... and the ATC will still work fine !
Brother, i know this is an old vid but thats nothing..
Thirteen thousandth isn't anything. The fadal I've ran dropped by 1/8 and still changed tools. The first video you had the drive lugs backwards. Demple needs to face out.
Doesn’t seem like any issue. I’d say just run it. If you ever need any help send me a pm and I might be able to help you out. Edit to add: It’s a fadal it came from the factory like that. You are overthinking this way too much. Clean the parts put it back together and run the machine. Nothing you showed showed any issue heck the worst run out on the shaft was on a non bearing surface. Also your method of checking the plate flatness was no good. But it doesn’t matter because it’s fine. So just run it
