The servo amps that are used with the 5t/5m/6t/6m in my experience have all been the same servo amps with only minor differences that did not affect the interchangeability of them, and we have swapped and have changed them between lathe and mill when needed for spares . all of these have been +-10v analogue control with tacho feedback. We had to fit tacho's to the motors as the tacho feedback originally is done by the fanuc control, converting the encoder pulse to a tacho output to do the speed control . We had to change encoders so they matched our control which was a fagor control. We have run this combination now for the last seven years and it has worked realy well.
which i think goes to show that it is possible to use fanuc drives on a retrofit. |
Hello im very interested in making a retrofit for a matsuura mc700 1979 it has the fanuc 6M i want to use the original servoamplifiers with the rutex2040 and maybe use Mach3, but i dont know if this configuration is possible? Tom from Rutex US told that this is possible only if the Fanuc Servoamp can tuned up using torque o current mode, but i dont have any manual or info about it. Is this possible? any experince?
Thank you
