Overview
The Fanuc A16B-2200-0173 is a serial port PCB module engineered for Fanuc 15A CNC control systems. This servo add-on module provides second spindle interface capability, enabling multi-spindle machining operations and expanded system functionality. As part of the A16B-2200 series, this board integrates directly into the control system to support advanced spindle synchronization and serial communication requirements in production environments.
Key Features
- Serial port interface for reliable RS-232/RS-485 communication
- Second spindle interface enabling dual-spindle synchronized operation
- Designed specifically for Fanuc 15A, 15M-A, and 15T-A CNC controls
- Direct plug-in compatibility—no firmware modifications required
- Factory-sealed new in box condition
- Industrial-grade PCB construction for harsh shop floor environments
