[Musick7]

I just got a Fanuc Robot arm and controller I believe its Fanuc S5 robot. It has 5 AC servo motors on it and I would like to find out if its possible to use theses AC servos for my CNC mill or router project? They are 3 phase AC servos. If you need any more Info Just let me know Ill try to get some photos uploaded soon.

Look at the posts today on Fanuc motor/encoder conversion.
Fanuc use a proprietary commutation method so there either needs decoding electronics or the encoder changed.

I ended up getting the robot arm and the controller with 2 handheld wands "the computor" so to speak. The controller has the drivers and encoders. But the dang things not 110 or even 220 it's 430v do you know what post it Is I did a search for it earlier didn't see it. Thanks for the info
