Way Covers for Series 6 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 15 Era Machines
Way covers on Fanuc Series 6, 10, 11, 12, and 15 era machines split between custom-fab and OEM-available depending on the underlying OEM and machine vintage. Series 15 machines from the late 1990s and 2000s sometimes still have OEM-spec available through the original integrator. The older Series 6-12 builds are typically custom-fab.
Machines this control shipped on
Series 6 through 12 shipped on higher-end machines from various OEMs through the 1990s. Series 15 was common on larger and more sophisticated machines into the 2000s — including some larger Doosan and other Asian-OEM platforms.
