FANUC 16B-1210 - A16B-1210-0430 electronic module

The Fanuc A16B-1210-0430 is an additional axis control board for CNC control systems. As a peripheral printed circuit board, it handles the analog control of additional machine axes, expanding the main control's capability by up to two further axes. It is a non-surface-mount PCB (classic through-hole construction) used in the field of early analog CNC control technology. This board was developed primarily for the analog versions of the Fanuc 10 CNC and is also found in select Fanuc 11 control applications. It enables control of the 5th and 6th axis, making it particularly well suited for twin turret lathes and 5-axis machining centers. Specifically, it was installed in the control variants Fanuc 10-M, 10-T, 10-MF, 10-TF, and 10-TTF. The board serves as an interface to the first generation of Fanuc AC axis drives as well as to the last DC velocity control units of the M-series, in particular units 6047 and 6050. It is also known under the designation GE Fanuc A16B-1210-0430. The A16B-1210-0430 is characterized by its robust through-hole construction, designed for continuous industrial use in CNC environments. The component weighs 570 g and is classified with ECCN code N. The board was used in demanding multi-axis machining applications prior to the transition to the digital Fanuc control generations (Fanuc 10 digital, Fanuc 11 digital, Fanuc 0-B) and represents proven technology in analog CNC axis control.
