Description

The FANUC A860-0326-T103 is a pulse coder (rotary encoder) used in FANUC’s CNC systems, specifically designed to work with AC servo motors. Here’s a breakdown of its function and how to find more information about it:

Function:

  • Encoders translate the rotational motion of a shaft (like a motor shaft) into electrical pulses. In the context of a CNC system, the A860-0326-T103 encoder plays a critical role within the motor’s feedback loop:
    • It detects the motor’s angular position or speed by generating electrical pulses.
    • The number of pulses generated corresponds to the rotational movement of the motor shaft.
    • This information is sent to the CNC control unit.
  • The CNC control unit uses this feedback to precisely control the motor’s movement and ensure the accurate positioning of the CNC machine’s axes. Essentially, the encoder allows the control unit to “see” the motor’s position and adjust its operation as needed.

Specifications (limited information available online):

  • Motor Compatibility: Designed for use with FANUC AC servo motors (consult resources below for specific motor models compatible with this encoder).
  • Pulse Resolution: The number of pulses generated per revolution of the motor shaft is an important detail for accurate positioning. This information might not be readily available online but can be found in the resources mentioned below.
  • Mounting: The encoder likely uses a specific mounting flange or shaft coupling mechanism to connect with the motor.
