[Emc-users] using fanuc drives and motors

2010-07-18 Thread Stuart Stevenson
Gentlemen, Unfortunately necessity breeds investigation. The Fanuc 11M on my Enshu is dying. In concert with Fanuc we can find no cause. It is now at the point of beginning a random board replacement until the culprit is eliminated. This could be expensive. The other option is EMC2!! -
