Can anyone explain the difference between Haas Sigma 1 and Sigma 5 Rotary Tables? I'm looking for the performance difference not the year/looks difference. What does a Sigma 5 do that a Sigma 1 cannot?
I know that the Brush rotary tables were replaced with Sigma 1 brushless in 2007.
I know that the Brushless Sigma 5 replaced the Sigma 1 in 2012.
I know machines Haas VMC's with software version 17.xx and lower must use Sigma 1.
I know machines (like mine) with software version 18.08 and higher can run either Sigma 1 or Sigma 5.
I know Sigma 1 rotaries have black molded cables and Sigma 5 rotaries have gray molded cables.
What I cannot find is what the change (and advantage) is to the Sigma 5. I have a 2012 VF2 that can supposedly use either. I find one reference that says the advantages of Sigma 5 "(scale feedback on TRs)" - but I do not know what this means. Do any of you know?
I am trying to decide on a rotary table (new or used) to buy that is something similar to an HRT210.
