CNC Controller Backup Batteries
If your CNC controller’s battery pack is proprietary, CNC Parts Dept., Inc. can supply a replacement or make a recommendation.
Losing power to a CNC machine can be a major problem. That’s why Fagor CNC controllers have backup batteries. They save important data like parameters, PAL, and programs. The battery keeps this information safe during an outage or when the machine is off.
If you see a “battery low” warning, don’t turn off the controller. Change the battery first. Otherwise, you risk losing all your machine’s settings.
Battery Maintenance and Safety Guidelines
Keeping your CNC controller’s battery in good shape is crucial. Here are some key guidelines to follow:
- Replace batteries every 3 to 5 years. This prevents them from failing and causing data loss.
- Use the correct type of battery pack. Never use standard alkaline batteries. They are not designed for this purpose and can leak, causing damage.
- Charge NiCad batteries before installing them. These batteries often come uncharged. Make sure to fully charge them to ensure they work properly from the start.
- Always change the batteries with the controller powered on. This keeps the machine’s memory live and prevents any settings from being lost during the swap.
- For proprietary battery packs, we can help. If your specific battery is hard to find, CNC Parts Dept., Inc. can provide a replacement or recommend a suitable alternative.
Following these steps will help you protect your machine’s settings and keep it running smoothly.
