Rechargeable Battery Unit Kit Provides Backup Power for CNC Machines
October 1, 2014
FANUC America Corporation now offers a Rechargeable Battery Unit Kit that is designed to provide reliable long-term backup power for CNC machines and eliminate the use of disposable batteries, providing a more environmentally friendly solution. "As a result, there is no machine downtime due to dead batteries and no scrap parts due to loss of machine position," said a company spokesperson. "The Rechargeable Battery Unit Kit removes the cost, hassle and inconvenient timing of replacing disposable batteries."
FANUC's Rechargeable Battery Unit enables one CNC system to be connected from a power source to the servo amplifiers. It contains a rechargeable battery and charging circuit that supplies backup power to absolute pulsecoders and separate type detector units.
The charging circuit monitors the voltage of the rechargeable battery, and it charges the battery when the voltage becomes low. Because the charging circuit works only when it is necessary, the company reported that the rechargeable battery can be used for a long period of time. The average life span of the unit is more than 10 years, although working conditions or operating environment will affect life expectancy.
The kit includes all the necessary cables for one CNC system to be connected from a power source to the servo amplifiers and a connection manual. This kit is designed to be installed with Alpha, Alpha i or Beta i servo amplifiers and separate type detectors.
