According to Daves FANUC link: http://www.cnc1.com/News/customer- files/CNC_eNewsletter_Sep_2010.pdf
it tells us that Fanuc 7 was the version developed in cooperation with Siemens and it was marketed in two separate hardware versions, one from each company. Anyway, it says that FANUC developed a special version 7 for the Siemens cooperation. At the same site there is a list of fact sheets about FANUC control systems develoment thru the years but system 7 is non-present... That leaves me slightly confused... Anyway, there is a document who closely match the control panel in Storebro 260 i previously linked to, this one: General_Numeric_6-TB.pdf I made a simple page to organise my papers, here it is included: http://abcnc.se/storebro260.html Thanks Dave and others for your support! / Roger > I didn't realize that General Numerics was a joint deal between Fanuc > and Siemens. > http://www.cnc1.com/News/customer-files/CNC_eNewsletter_Sep_2010.pdf > > It looks like there are encoders on the spindle and motor - last > page of > that one document.
