Alpha i-D Series

FANUC’s new generation amplifiers have a smaller footprint, needing up to 30% less space than previous models. With an expanded multi-axis amplifier lineup, this series of drives saves energy use through its new low-consumption design as well as reduced fan operation. A brake control circuit is integrated into the servo amplifiers and a Leakage Detection Function is available in all Alpha i-Ds. Plus, an easy fan replacement feature makes these drives a breeze to maintain. The Alpha i-D Series Amplifiers can be connected to current FANUC CNC Plus Series models.

What to Consider

Now that we’ve listed a selection of servo amplifiers that Fanuc has to offer, the question of “Well how do I know which to get?” arises. Before making that decision here are some things to consider that may be helpful.

• Machine Requirements
  • What is the power, torque, and precision needs of your operation?
• Compatibility
  • Make sure that the servo amplifier matches the CNC and motor in use.
• Scalability
  • Is your system modular? Can it be scaled for future upgrades?
• Cost-Efficiency
  • Does the long term gain and efficiency justify the initial cost?
