Fanuc Control Generation
Way Covers for Power Mate i Era Machines
Power Mate i is the Fanuc dedicated-axis control — it shows up on rotary tables, indexers, sub-spindles, and bar feeders integrated alongside primary CNC platforms. Way covers for Power Mate i-controlled axes are typically smaller and more specialized than primary-axis covers. We coordinate with the primary machine's cover requirements when both are factors.
Machines this control shipped on
Power Mate i shows up as a dedicated-axis or sub-spindle control on rotary tables, indexers, bar feeders, and similar auxiliary equipment alongside primary CNC platforms.
Common failures and fixes
- Power Mate i covers are typically smaller and more specialized than primary-axis covers.
- Bar feeder mounting interacts with primary-machine covers — coordinate during quoting.
- Rotary indexer covers often use bellows or compact telescoping steel.
Parts availability
Power Mate i covers depend on the integrator — most current builds have OEM availability through the primary machine OEM.
Battery, memory, and parameter recovery
Custom fabrication is straightforward for Power Mate i covers because the axis travel is shorter and the mounting is well documented. Lead time is 2 to 4 weeks.
