A FANUC servo amplifier is a CNC machine part. It takes the command signal from a control panel and amplifies the low-power signal up to a level that powers the movement of a servo motor.

Set the meter to ohms and test T1 to T2, T2 to T3 and T1 to T3. The range should be between 0.3 and 2.0 ohms with the average being 0.8 ohms. If you get a zero, there is a short between the two phases. If you get an exceptionally high or infinite reading, there is an opening between the two phases. For free over-the-phone FANUC servo drive troubleshooting, call Tri Star CNC Services, LLC at 815-578-9145.

A CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine uses computer-programmed instructions to automatically control cutting tools, motors and other machine components so it can drill, mill, turn, grind or otherwise shape a workpiece with precision. Rather than an operator manually guiding the tool, the CNC control reads a program (typically G-code) and directs each axis of motion, speed and tooling change automatically.

A servo drive is the component that sits between a CNC control board and a servo motor. It takes the low-power command signal from the control and amplifies it to a power level strong enough to drive the motor. A feedback sensor on the motor continuously reports its position and speed back to the drive, which adjusts voltage and frequency in real time to keep the motor moving exactly as the program commands.

FANUC stands for Fuji Automatic Numerical Control. The company was founded in 1972 as a spinoff of Fujitsu Ltd. by Dr. Seiuemon Inaba and has grown into one of the world's largest makers of CNC systems, industrial robots and factory automation equipment.

FANUC robots are programmed two main ways: directly on the robot's teach pendant using TP (Teach Pendant) programs for step-by-step motion and logic, or with KAREL, a Pascal-based high-level language used for more advanced, custom applications.

FANUC alarm codes point to a specific fault in your CNC's servo, spindle, power supply or system electronics, and the exact meaning depends on the alarm number and which unit displayed it. Tri Star publishes detailed alarm code guides for servo, spindle, power supply, SVPM, overtravel, overheat and system alarms - or you can call 815-578-9145 for free over-the-phone help identifying your code and next steps.

Tri Star specializes exclusively in FANUC and GE FANUC CNC controls, servo drives, spindle drives, power supplies and machine tool parts. Focusing on one brand lets our technicians build deep, specific expertise rather than spreading support thin across many manufacturers.
