Fanuc SVM: broken casings

[ulihuber]

Hi,

I have some SVMs (i.e. A06b-6124-H205) with broken casings.
Fanuc Germany did not even answer my request on these brittle yellow plastic parts.

Is there anyone who figured out how to get these spare parts ?

Thanks
Uli

those were horrible...ive seen those drives fall out of running machines and short out. Fanuc used to sell the plastic bits, but IIRC they were always out of stock.

old model airplane tech, but...go to local model shop and buy some thin grade CA glue, piece what you can back together tack it with thin CA, put a 1/8 inch layer of baking soda over the joint and then wet that with the thin CA- the smoke is nasty, it gets hot as heck instantly, but sets up in about a second to rock hard...like instant JB weld if you have to patch one up, that (or 24 hour JB weld epoxy) is probably the strongest way to put one back together- make a steel strap to span across the holes to keep it from falling out if it crumbles any further...

a big cause of the breakage is inaccurate mounting surfaces stressing the brittle plastic- suggest putting red loctite on threaded rod in the panel for 'mounting studs', then use nylock nuts to attach it- BUT DONT TIGHTEN THEM DOWN, just barely snug will hold it without stressing the plastic. theyre a lot easier to mount this way too.

Fanuc will sell you the plastics, but it might take a while to track down the numbers...if youve got a spare, theres a part number molded into the plastic- but youve got to totally strip the thing down to read most of them. good luck

I can get the part numbers and probably source the parts for you as well. Unfortunately it does take some time.

Which plastic parts do you require? Covers, U shaped casing, flat casing?

[ulihuber]

Hrh,

thanks for the offer. The parts are
A230-0603-X001 u-shaped part
A230-0602-X002 flat part
A230-0603-X003 fan holder

Might you give me a rough figure what price these will have ?

Thanks
Uli

The CA glue will work, but for that type of plastic, I use Franks Red Hot PVC pipe cement.

Uli,

I will send you a PM with the prices. Strange that no-one could help you even though you already have the part numbers...

Should have answers from most of my suppliers by tomorrow afternoon.

Uli,

The suppliers have questioned the specifications indicated.

If the SVM is A06B-6124-H205 then the casings will be:

A230-0602-X001/D
A230-0602-X002C
A230-0603-X003

Please confirm that the drive spec is correct and that the identification labels have not been interchanged with a H206 or larger drive.

Regards,

hrh

Hi,

Can someone help with some plastic part id?

The Drive is a Fanuc A06B-6111-H015#H550

Need left and right side, and fan cover.

The numbers I have off the parts are:

A230-0603-X001 right side
A230-0602-X002 left side
A230-0603-X003 fan cover

It seems that Fanuc requires a letter after these numbers as well.

Kind thanks in advance for your assistance! $25 paypal to you for your help!

hadnt seen this thread in a while- on the the baking soda/CA model airplane thing: the strength comes from the baking soda...if youve never tried it, give it a shot sometime- but be careful, it gets HOT instantly when the thin CA hits the soda...but it will adhere to anything, and the thickness of the baking soda fillet is hard as heck- heck I bet it would stick to teflon

works great on anything JB weld might fix, but its instant.

what's this CA Glue you're talking about?.... I'm intrigued

thin grade(like water) CyanoAcrylate 'super' glue available in 1~2 ounce bottles at hobby shops that cater to the R/C airplane hobby... baking soda/thin CA is used for fillets in wing spars and ribs to add strength without the wait time of epoxy- but it sticks to anything at least strong as new- the thickness of the soda adds like a almost fiberglass support around the joint and fills in voids - rubber/glass/steel/yellow plastic servo frames/red encoder caps/fingers, it glues them all...
