Our drilling equipment is unserviceable right now due to defective absolute encoder, our search for a supplier has not been successful. Does anyone here knows where we can purchase this kind of spare part?
One possibility is to look among ads in the Business-Promotions-Advertisements section.
Resourcefulness is called for. How much of the assembly needs to be replaced? How much can be left as is?
Is the shaft encoder an integral part of the drilling equipment, or is it an add-on electronic component?
Where does the signal from the encoder go? Does it go to a particular brand of instrument? Do you (or a coworker) have the skill required to make them compatible?
