Description
The FANUC A860-0360-T201 is a pulse coder, also known as an encoder, used with FANUC AC servo motors in industrial automation applications.
Here’s a breakdown of its function and how to find more information about it:
Function:
- The A860-0360-T201 is a rotary encoder. It converts the rotational motion of the motor shaft into electrical pulses.
- The number of pulses generated corresponds precisely to the angular movement (rotation) of the shaft.
- This allows the FANUC system’s controller to precisely track the motor’s position and speed.
Applications:
Encoders like the A860-0360-T201 play a crucial role in precise positioning and motion control within industrial automation systems. Here are some common applications:
- CNC Machines: In CNC machines, the encoder’s feedback on motor position ensures accurate movement of the cutting tool along various axes (X, Y, Z) as programmed in the control program.
- Industrial Robots: Similar principles apply to industrial robots, where encoders on motors enable precise control of the robot’s arm movements.
- Other Automation Systems: The A860-0360-T201 can be used in various industrial automation applications where precise positioning and speed control of FANUC AC servo motors are critical.
Finding Specific Information:
To determine the exact specifications, mounting details, and compatibility information for the A860-0360-T201 within your system, it’s recommended to consult the following resources:
-
FANUC System Manuals: If you have the user manuals or technical documentation for your specific FANUC system (CNC machine, robot, or other automation system), locate the parts list section. Look for the A860-0360-T201 and you should find details such as:
- A clear explanation of the encoder’s function within the system’s control architecture (e.g., motor encoder for a specific axis).
- Specifications regarding the encoder type (rotary), resolution (pulses per revolution), and output signal type (incremental or absolute).
- Wiring diagrams for proper connection between the encoder, the motor, and the system controller.
- Mounting information specifying how the encoder attaches to the motor shaft.
-
FANUC Support: For the most up-to-date and accurate information specific to your system, contact FANUC’s technical support team. Mention the part number (A860-0360-T201) and the model of your FANUC system. They can clarify details like:
- Compatibility with the specific FANUC AC servo motor model used in your system.
- Troubleshooting steps in case of system malfunctions potentially related to the encoder.
- Availability of replacement pulse coders or repair options.
