Mating servo's to drives

[peterson76]

Hello,

I have played with small servos for a long time for different tasks. I usually use my own home made drivers for control.

Now I am getting interested in playing with larger servos. Is there a "cheat sheet" of sorts or a handy way to know what drive works with what servos?

I am refering to Fanuc, there seems to be thousands of servo and drive models from Fanuc. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems like I could spend weeks researching what drive works with what servo.

Example; I have a servo type: A06B-0315-B206/7073 How do I even begin to find a drive? Its a bit overwhelming.

Thanks in advance,
Eric

If you do mate them up, then you can run into a problem of integrating the command method etc.
I usually end up converting the proprietary encoder commutation method with a Renco encoder and using a A-M-C servo drive.
There are quite a few previous thread on the topic.
