Description
Description:
The A86L-0001-0261 is a replacement keypad/soft-key board used in FANUC CNC controller operator displays, specifically for 10.4-inch LCD “i-Series” panels. It functions as the soft keys (the row of pushbuttons just below or beside the screen) that allow operators to select options on the CNC display interface.
🧠 Function & Use
-
Type: Soft key / keyboard board (operator interface)
-
Application: Part of the human-machine interface (HMI) for FANUC CNC systems with a 10.4″ LCD display — these keys correspond to the soft function buttons shown on the screen.
-
Role: Offers physical input buttons that work with the display’s onscreen menus; if keys are worn or unresponsive, this board is replaced.
-
Weight: ~0.17 kg (board only).
🔧 Typical Context
This is an internal component of the display assembly — not a standalone keyboard like on a PC. It’s common in FANUC controller operator panels (often designated with “i-Series” displays) where soft keys provide context-sensitive menu control. Boards like this are replaced when keys no longer register reliably or the soft-key functions stop working due to wear or damage.
📌 Notes
-
Some sellers list this as a soft keys 10.4″ LCD module compatible with various FANUC panel controllers.
-
Occasionally the part is described in inventories as a 12-key keyboard/soft key board matching up with F16i, F18i, or F21i interfaces.
