Description
📌 Description
The FANUC A02B-0301-B801 is a basic control unit / CPU chassis used in FANUC CNC systems — specifically associated with the Series 0i-Mate (0i-B) family of controls. It forms the core housing and main controller electronics for the CNC system, but requires additional PCBs, memory, and software to be fully operational.
🧠 Function & Role
-
Control Core: Acts as the main CNC control chassis for FANUC 0i-Mate (often seen in model B variants).
-
Modular Design: Provides the structural base and backplane sockets for essential control components such as:
• Main CPU card (e.g., A16B-3200 series)
• RAM/ROM / Flash memory boards
• PMC logic modules
• FSSB/servo interface cards
• Optional display/controller interface modules -
Software Required: Ships as a bare basic unit — the necessary firmware/software and option PCBs must be installed and loaded by the user for the controller to function.
📍 Typical Applications
-
OEM Machine Builds: Used by machine builders integrating a FANUC 0i-Mate control into custom equipment.
-
Retrofit & Repair: Serves as the replacement control chassis when repairing or refurbishing lathe, mill, or machining centers originally equipped with a FANUC 0i-Mate controller.
-
Service Parts: Can be installed as part of a full CNC replacement solution when combined with the appropriate software and modules.
