Hi:
We are rebuilding the Legend 24EX that had a flash fire. Anything rubber or plastic melted to a various degree. The Y-Axis motor in the back of the machine is a DC Brushless motor which has a gear that has a belt which turns a shaft which has gears on either side manipulating the I-Bean using two belts.
The fire melted the wire casings to the motor. When I pulled out the motor to re-epoxy the magnets to the casing (they epoxy melted in the fire) I noticed a rotary encoder for this motor. Anyone know what kind of motor this is (for future reference) because I can't read it from the melted tag on the casing. Also, is the rotary encoder needed? As the Y axis has linear encoders on the slider and bearing. I can't se if the wire connected to the melted e rotary encoer goes anywhere. We got the motor to work after cleaning and rebuilding; or did we
Thanks, I have pictures which show the restoration of this machine. Is that interesting to anyone?
