Description

The FANUC A860-0360-T201 is an alpha a64 pulse coder (rotary encoder) used with FANUC AC servo motors in various industrial applications, including CNC machines. Here’s a breakdown of its function and how to find more information about it:

Function:

  • The A860-0360-T201 is a rotary encoder specifically designed to work with FANUC AC servo motors.
  • Rotary encoders convert rotational motion of a shaft into electrical pulses. In this case, the A860-0360-T201 translates the motor shaft’s rotation into electrical pulses.
  • The number of pulses generated corresponds to the angular movement of the shaft. This allows the FANUC system’s controller to precisely track the motor’s position and speed.

Applications:

  • CNC Machines: Precise positioning of the cutting tool along various axes is essential in CNC machining. The A860-0360-T201 encoder provides the control system with real-time feedback on the motor’s rotational position, ensuring the tool moves exactly as programmed.
  • Industrial Robots: Similar principles apply to industrial robots, where encoders on servo motors enable accurate control of the robot’s arm movements.
  • Other Automation Systems: A860-0360-T201 encoders can be used in various industrial automation systems where precise positioning and speed control of AC servo motors are critical.
