FANUC A06B-6110-H030 αi Servo Amplifier Module – Reliable dual‑axis motion drive for FANUC CNC machines

The A06B-6110-H030 is a FANUC αi Series Servo Amplifier Module (often referenced as GE Fanuc on legacy nameplates). From my experience, this H030 variant is typically deployed as a two‑axis SVM in 200/230 V αi systems, pairing seamlessly with αi servo motors and 0i/30i/31i/32i controls via FSSB fiber optics. If you’re replacing a failed SVM in a machining center or turning cell, this model tends to be a straightforward, drop‑in match—minimal parameter tweaking, fast recovery.

Order Placement Process and Guarantees

• Warranty: 365 days
• Delivery time: 1 week for in‑stock items; no more than 1 month at the latest
• Payment terms: 50% advance payment; full payment before delivery
• Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL

Key Features

• Native FSSB interface – Fiber‑optic FANUC Serial Servo Bus ensures low‑latency, noise‑immune communication with 0i/30i/31i/32i controls.
• Dual‑axis configuration – H030 units are commonly used to drive two servo axes, balancing cabinet space and power density.
• Direct pairing with αi servo motors – Works with αiS/αiF series motors and serial encoders for precise, closed‑loop control.
• Shared DC bus from αi Power Supply Module – Power is delivered via the DC link from an A06B‑6114‑Hxxx PSM; regeneration is handled at the PSM level, simplifying thermal design.
• Protective functions built‑in – Over‑current, over‑voltage, short‑circuit, and thermal safeguards to protect motors and drive electronics.
• Service‑friendly layout – Clear status LEDs, front‑access connectors, and quick fiber replacement speed up maintenance.
• Backwards/legacy compatibility – In many cases, it can replace earlier α/αi SVMs with minor parameter adjustments.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

You’ll typically see the A06B-6110-H030 driving X/Y or Y/Z axes in compact machining centers, high‑speed lathes, and small gantry systems. We also see it a lot on:

• Vertical and horizontal machining centers with FANUC 0i/31i controls
• Turning centers with turret and sub‑axis control
• Robotic transfer axes and precision positioning stages
• Packaging and electronics assembly lines retrofitted to αi platforms

“Swapped an H030 into a 0i‑MD mill—fiber, DC bus, motor leads, then a quick parameter verify. Machine was cutting within the hour.” — Maintenance Supervisor, Tier‑2 Automotive

Advantages & Value

• Reliability that reduces downtime – The αi SVM lineage is known for long run‑time and consistent thermal behavior.
• Compatibility – Plays nicely with existing FANUC controls and αi motors; minimal re‑engineering during replacement.
• Cost control – In many cases, a direct replacement avoids rewiring and mechanical changes, cutting labor costs.
• Support readiness – We can help cross‑check motor/axis sizing and FSSB topology to avoid surprises on startup.

Installation & Maintenance Guidance

• Cabinet environment – Mount vertically on a grounded backplate in a sealed cabinet with forced air ventilation; keep ambient 0–55 °C and non‑condensing humidity.
• Wiring – Connect the DC bus and control power from the αi Power Supply Module; route motor U/V/W and brake lines separately from the FSSB fiber to minimize noise.
• Grounding & EMC – Bond motor frames and amplifier PE to a common ground bar; use shielded motor/encoder cables terminated at one end.
• Commissioning – Backup CNC parameters first; verify axis current ratings and motor series match; check LED status and alarms before jog.
• Routine maintenance – Quarterly dust removal (dry air), annual connector re‑seat/inspection; keep firmware and CNC parameters consistent across axes.

Quality & Certifications

• Conforms to CE and RoHS; many builds carry UL recognition when part of the complete FANUC system
• Each unit is function‑tested on representative loads where applicable
• Warranty: 365 days (repair/replace policy, subject to evaluation)

Commonly Paired Components (for planning)

• A06B-6114-Hxxx αi Power Supply Module (PSM) – required DC bus source
• FSSB fiber‑optic cables – CNC to SVM link (short and long runs available)
• αiS / αiF Series servo motors – size per axis torque/current requirements

One thing I appreciate about the A06B‑6110‑H030 is how predictable it is during swaps—you might notice most of the time it’s the cabinet conditions or a loose ground that causes issues, not the module itself. If you want, share your machine model and axis lineup and I’ll sanity‑check the selection before you order.
