Description
🔧 A20B-2101-0354 — Description
A20B-2101-0354 is a FANUC spindle/servo drive PCB (printed circuit board) used in CNC spindle drive systems, particularly within Alpha i spindle drive (6111 series) configurations.
📌 Full Technical Description
- Manufacturer: FANUC
- Part Number: A20B-2101-0354
- Type: Spindle drive board / servo add-on PCB
- Series: A20B-2101
- Application: CNC spindle drive system (Alpha i / 6111 series)
⚙️ Function (What it does)
- Acts as a spindle drive control board inside the amplifier system
- Handles:
- Spindle motor control logic
- Signal processing between CNC controller and drive
- Power/control coordination for spindle operation
- Feedback processing from sensors
👉 In simple terms:
It is the “brain board” of the spindle drive, helping control how the spindle motor runs.
