I was chatting with Oliver and he mentioned he once bought all new Bosch TR drives, or to be exact a new modernized reproduction of the drive, from a company in Germany, a Mr. Methfessel:
www.msrtec.eu
Very hard to find that link I think, no marketing effort whatsoever.
Oliver already did this some years ago and it was not cheap.
On the cards there is no marking at all about who made them.
In parting out the FP4A, that I described recently, I also found one newer set of these axis cards and a newer style power supply board. With "newer" I mean a re-engineered card with mostly SMD technology. There seem to have been different iterations over time too.
I vaguely recall this being mentioned on this forum before ? No sure really, but did not Deckel Doctor mention something like this even way back?
I have my doubts that there are several places making new cards, but find it much more likely that Mr Methfessel has been making them all along and provides them to FPS and maybe others. He apparently does not do any marketing himself at all. And FPS would certainly be a volume customer. Hence also no marking or marketing, just guessing.
It would be interesting to hear from folks on the forum, who have replacement cards installed, about their experiences and pricing. If there are any.
I think the need may have actually decreased some recently, since so many machines are being parted out. But depending on price point and circumstance this may be very interesting to some.
Also the question remains if there are other offerings on the market.
