Description
The FANUC A20B-2002-0310 is an encoder used with FANUC AC servo motors in various industrial automation applications. Here’s a breakdown of its function and how to find more information about it:
Function:
- The A20B-2002-0310 is a rotary encoder, also known as a pulse coder.
- It converts the rotational motion of the motor shaft 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:
Encoders like the A20B-2002-0310 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 the cutting tool moves exactly as programmed along various axes (X, Y, Z).
- 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: The A20B-2002-0310 can be used in various industrial automation applications where precise positioning and speed control of AC servo motors are critical.
