Hi, I have a 1988 First CNC mill that I am considering
retrofitting to accept LinuxCNC. The motors are Fanuc red cap with 1
ppr. How long will these encoders last? They are all ready 29
years old. I have other machines with dying encoders and linear scales
and it usually
Hi:
I have a CNC mill that I am considering replacing the control with LinuxCNC.
The motors are the red cap Fanuc units. I have enquired on this mailing list
about using the existing servo amps and motors. From all the replies and help
(thank you very much) I haved concluded that a good

I was able to retrieve the titled part number from the frame of the servo amp
and it appears to be a version that is "difficult" to integrate with EMC2, as
identified by the "6058" section of the number.
What are my options for EMC2 if I want to use these Red Cap servo motors and
the 6058
I found a part number on the printed circuit board that has all 3 axis on it.
Under the PCB are the amps for each motor. Is this the correct number to
identify if the amps are "easily retrofitted" to EMC2: A16B-1000-0280/06A ?

Hi, I posted the other day about using EMC2 with existing Fanuc servo and servo
amps. The conclusion appears to be an adapter board, however, at the servo
motor. Shouldn't the "conversion" be needed at the output of EMC2 into the
servo amp?
Also how do I get rid of the pesky "?" that show
Hi:
Is there a simple solution that some one has developed allowing EMC2 to connect
to the Fanuc drives and red cap motors? A MESA board or something like that
that could be wired inbetween like a converter? I was looking through the
achieves and noticed lots of issues but stopped after
Can the stepper motor 'step direction' output from EMC2 be used to
run a servo based system that has step direction input amplifiers
where the servo motor encoder feed back goes into the amp and not EMC2?
I believe the Yaskawa Sigma II amps can run in this mode. My
thought was to build a
