Description
The FANUC A06B-6079-H208 is a 2-axis servo amplifier module, also known as a servo drive, manufactured by FANUC Robotics [1, 2, 3, 4]. It’s a critical component within the control system of FANUC robots, responsible for amplifying control signals and providing regulated power to drive two AC servo motors.
Here’s a breakdown of its functionalities and key features:
Function:
- Receives control signals from the robot controller for two specific robot axes or joints [1, 2, 3, 4].
- These signals specify the desired speed, direction, and torque for each axis.
- Amplifies these low-power control signals from the controller [1, 2, 3, 4].
- Converts the amplified control signals into high-power output signals (typically Pulse Width Modulation – PWM) to drive two AC servo motors [1, 2, 3, 4].
- Provides regulated DC power to each AC servo motor based on the corresponding control signals [1, 2, 3, 4].
- Monitors various parameters like motor speed, current, and temperature for feedback and potential fault detection for both motors [1, 2, 3, 4].
- Contributes to precise positioning and motion control of two axes within a robot arm or other industrial machinery [1, 2, 3, 4].
Features (uncertain without user manual):
- Input Voltage: The servo amplifier likely has a specific input voltage rating (e.g., 283-325V AC) to match the robot’s power supply [1, 2, 3, 4]. Refer to the user manual or datasheet for details (if available).
- Output Current per Axis: The amplifier will have a maximum output current rating (in Amps) per axis, determining the power it can deliver to each motor [1, 2, 3, 4]. User manual confirmation is needed.
- Compatible Motor Power: The A06B-6079-H208 is likely designed for a specific range of AC servo motor power ratings (e.g., motors in the A Series – Alpha Servo Drives) for each axis [1, 2, 3, 4]. User manual confirmation is needed.
- Control Interface: The communication protocol between the servo amplifier and the robot controller (e.g., analog or digital) [1, 2, 3, 4]. User manual confirmation is needed.
Applications:
- Primarily used in various FANUC robot models with two or more controllable axes, including:
- Industrial robot arms for assembly, welding, painting, and material handling applications, controlling two independent axes (e.g., arm extension and rotation) [1, 2, 3, 4].
- CNC machines and machining centers for precise control of tool movement along two or more axes during cutting or drilling operations [1, 2, 3, 4].
Finding More Information:
Obtaining detailed specifications, wiring diagrams, and programming information for the FANUC A06B-6079-H208 is crucial for proper configuration and operation within your robot system. Here are ways to learn more about the servo amplifier module:
- FANUC Website: If the model number is listed on a FANUC robot, search the FANUC website for user manuals, datasheets, or spare parts catalogs using the model number [1].
- Distributor or Supplier: If you purchased the servo amplifier from a FANUC authorized distributor or supplier, they might have technical information or resources available [2, 3, 4].
- Contact FANUC Support: Reach out to FANUC customer support for the Robotics business unit. They can provide the most accurate and up-to-date information on the A06B-6079-H208, including:
- User manuals and datasheets (if available)
- Compatibility information for specific FANUC robot models
- Wiring diagrams and installation instructions
- Programming information or manuals (if applicable)
Additional Considerations:
- System Integration: The A06B-6079-H208 servo amplifier works in conjunction with the robot controller, two servo motors, and feedback devices (encoders) for precise motion control of two axes [1, 2, 3, 4].
- Safety Precautions: Always follow safety precautions when working with high voltage electrical components and robotic systems. Qualified personnel should perform maintenance and troubleshooting of the servo amplifier module [1, 2, 3, 4].
