I recently purchased a 4th axis at a local auction for a fairly low dollar amount, that combined with being able to drive over and pick it up made it worth while for me to take a gamble on it. It turns it out it has a Yasakawa Electric Minertia motor J series motor. Part number UGJMED-60M, from what I have found that is a YASNAC servo my machine is a Fanuc 10M control so I would think that the servo would not work.
The 4th axis is a Tsudakoma RNCV-200. What is the best route for me? should i get a fanuc servo or try to sell the 4th axis complete and buy a Tsudakoma with a Fanuc servo already installed?
If I am going to be looking for a Fanuc Servo any recommendations on what I should be hunting for? Would a servo from a Fanuc 0m be compatible with a servo from a fanuc 10m?
For attaching the unit to the machine, will I need to add an encoder board or any circuitry or are these things usually included and i just need to add a cable to a pcb card?
Thanks!
