Description
The FANUC A860-0302-T001 is an encoder used in FANUC CNC systems. Encoders are rotary sensors that convert the rotational motion of a shaft (like a motor shaft) into electrical signals. In the context of a CNC system, the A860-0302-T001 plays a critical role within a motor’s feedback loop:
- Function: It detects the motor’s angular position or speed and sends this information to the CNC control unit.
- Importance: The control unit uses this feedback to precisely control the motor’s movement and ensure accurate positioning of the CNC machine’s axes.
While I cannot definitively specify the following details without the CNC system model, here’s some additional information to help you:
- Possible Motor Compatibility: Based on the naming convention (A860), it likely works with FANUC AC Servo Motors.
- Mounting: The encoder likely uses a specific flange or shaft coupling to connect with the motor.
