Early 90's VMC with 0M control......considering a retrofit to MACH 3....
Motor Questions
Fanuc Red Cap SPINDLE motor
Motor numbers: 8P A06B-0725-B102#3000
200Volt 5.5KW 4 Pole 3Phase 6000RPM
Spindle Drive is A06B-6059-H206
.....CAN THIS MOTOR BE RUN WITH A 'typical' VFD?
Maybe with a quadrature encoder fitted to the spindle instead of the 'special' Fanuc encoder?
There is no transformer, and it appears the drive input is 230V 3Phase even though the motor says 200V ???
Red Cap AXIS motors:
X&Y
5S A06B-0314-B002#7000
Z
10S A06B-0315-B002#7000
3 Phase 8 pole 12NM 7.6A stall
....CAN THESE MOTORS BE RUN WITH 'typical' smart AC Brushless drives that take step & direction commands?
I realize quadrature encoders need to be fitted to them, but do I also need Hall sensors?
The drives I am looking at are Yaskawa or TECO.
Thanks.
