Description

The FANUC A860-0360-T201 is an Alpha a64 Pulse Coder (encoder) used with FANUC AC Servo Motors in their 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 that translates the rotational motion of a FANUC AC servo motor shaft into electrical signals.
  • These signals provide the CNC control unit with critical information about the motor’s:
    • Angular position
    • Speed

Importance:

  • This information forms a closed-loop feedback system. The CNC control unit uses it to precisely control the motor’s movement and ensure the accurate positioning of the CNC machine’s axes.
  • Without the encoder’s feedback, the control unit wouldn’t be able to precisely control the motor’s movements, resulting in inaccurate positioning and potential machine malfunctions.

Additional Details (based on available information):

  • Alpha Series Compatibility: The “Alpha” designation suggests it’s likely designed for use within FANUC’s Alpha series CNC systems.
  • Cable: The “T201” suffix might indicate that this encoder variant includes a cable for connection.

Finding Specific Information:

To determine the exact specifications and compatibility information for the A860-0360-T201 within your system, it’s recommended to consult the following resources:

  1. FANUC CNC System Manuals: If you have the user manuals or technical documentation for your specific FANUC CNC 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 and its role within the Alpha series CNC system’s feedback loop.
    • Wiring schematics for proper connection between the encoder, the motor, and the CNC control unit.
    • Specifications regarding the encoder’s resolution (pulses per revolution) and its confirmed compatibility with specific Alpha series motor models.
