Description
🔧 A20B-2101-0350 — Description
A20B-2101-0350 is a FANUC spindle drive control PCB (printed circuit board) used in CNC spindle amplifier systems, particularly with Alpha i spindle drives (A06B-6141 / 6111 series).
📌 Full Technical Description
- Manufacturer: FANUC
- Part Number: A20B-2101-0350
- Type: Spindle drive control board (PCB)
- Series: A20B-2101
- Application: CNC spindle amplifier (Alpha i / aiSP systems)
⚙️ Function (What it does)
- Acts as a main control board inside the spindle amplifier
- Handles:
- Spindle motor control logic
- Communication between CNC controller and spindle drive
- Internal drive signal processing
- Coordination of power and feedback systems
👉 In simple terms:
It is the control “brain board” of the spindle amplifier, managing how the spindle motor operates.
🔍 Technical Role (Confirmed)
- Identified as:
- “Alpha i spindle control board”
- “Alpha iSP control board PCB”
- Spindle drive board for 6141 series drives
👉 This clearly confirms:
It directly belongs to FANUC spindle drive systems (not general CNC CPU or I/O board).
🏭 Where it is used
- Installed inside:
- FANUC Alpha i spindle amplifiers (aiSP / SPM)
- A06B-6141 / A06B-6111 series spindle drives
- Used in:
- CNC machining centers
- CNC lathes
- Milling machines
🧩 Key Characteristics
- PCB type: Type A spindle control board
