Re: Fanuc 6m help

> Richard: I have a 6MB with fanuc 5 motors. I did not mention that it

also has a fanuc spindle drive and 5hp motor. What do you use to get
the signal for the spindle drive? Have you had much trouble with
tuning? How do you like EMC? I was planning to use the brain dead
install.I will have plenty of questions and will keep you posted. Is
there a market for used fanuc parts? The last board I had repaird cost
350.00 don't wnat to do that again. Thanks to every one who replied so
far. Don B

with a fanuc 6MB (is yours a 6MB or 6MA?). My motherboard was missing
a y axis translation IC (the 42 pin gold colored ICs in the middle of
the motherboard). My motors are fanuc 0 and fanuc 5 dc brush with
2500 line encoders. In that reguard, I guess I am lucky. I bought a
gecko G340 drive (already had two others) and am up and running on
EMC. Still a lot of work to interface the tool changer, spindle drive
and other stuff.
