MDC-500 Rotary Unit Installation
Prerequisites
Make sure that the MDC-500 has the additional axis drives installed to support the additional axis. If a second mocon
PCB is required, make sure it is installed before installing the additional axis.
Electrical Safety
Caution: When you do maintenance or repair on CNC machines and their components, you must always follow
basic safety precautions. This decreases the risk of injury and mechanical damage.
• Set the main circuit breaker to the [OFF] position.
Danger: Before beginning any work inside the control cabinet the High Voltage indicator light on the 320V Power
Supply / Vector Drive must have been off for at least 5 minutes.
Some service procedures can be dangerous or life-threatening. DO NOT attempt a procedure that you do not fully
understand. If you have any doubts about doing a procedure contact your Haas Factory Outlet (HFO) and schedule a
service visit.
