I've contacted Haas, but they don't service machines this old, nor carry parts or even info, and couldn't help me other than to provide the info below and recommend that I find an aftermarket solution.I think your parameter reasoning is correct, home on both Z channel and table zero switch and inverted Z.
I do not have one of those controls. I presume it rotates backward to find the table zero switch then rotates forward until the next Z index.
Unless you can change the parameter the new encoder will have to have the same Z polarity.
1/2" shaft might be hard to find, most are smaller. I had to turn down the motor shaft to put the encoder on.
"This is the description I have for the encoder on the motor. It is all together as 1 unit."
I'm finding a few companies making replacement Renco encoders. I will contact one of the encoder manufacturers tomorrow.
In looking at old posts from Magno-grail, I see he's encountered something like this quite a few times and there are some solutions out there, which makes me hopeful.
