I transposed these Fanuc spindle errors into Q&A style. Not sure if this is any more beneficial than the spindle fault list, but here it is anyway:

  • Q: What does Fanuc Spindle Alarm code 01 mean? A:  The inside temperature of the motor is higher than the specified temperature

  • Q: What does Fanuc Spindle Alarm code 02 mean? A:  The actual motor speed is largely deviated from the commanded speed

  • Q: What does Fanuc Spindle Alarm code 03 mean? A:  The fuse of the DC link has blown (The voltage at the DC link is insufficient) This alarm is checked when emergency stop is cancelled.

  • Q: What does Fanuc Spindle Alarm code 06 mean? A:  The temperature sensor is abnormal, or the temperature sensor cable is broken.

  • Q: What does Fanuc Spindle Alarm code 07 mean? A:  The motor rotates at a speed exceeding 115% (standard setting) of the maximum allowable speed.

  • Q: What does Fanuc Spindle Alarm code 09 mean? A:  The temperature of the heat sink of the SPM main circuit has risen abnormally. This alarm is issued for SPM-15i and later with SPM-2.2i to SPM-11i however, Alarm 12 is issued for the same cause.

  • Q: What does Fanuc Spindle Alarm code 12 mean? A:  An excessively large current flowed into the DC link of the main circuit.

  • Q: What does Fanuc Spindle Alarm code 15 mean? A:  In output switching control or spindle switching control, the switching operation sequence was not executed correctly.  This is issued if one second or more elapses from the transition of a switch request signal (SPSL or RSL) until a power lead state check signal (MCFN, MFNHG, RCH or RCHHG) makes a transition.

  • Q: What does Fanuc Spindle Alarm code 18 mean? A:  A sum check is abnormal.  If this alarm is issued, replace the SPM or SPM control printed-circuit board.
