Precautions in Handling

1. Ensure use of the product in the specified conditions, environments and ranges.
Operation out of the specified conditions could cause a drop in performance or malfunction of the product.
2. Back and forth operation in short distance may wear out the oil film of the grease.
If the actuators are moved back and forth continuously over a short distance of 30 mm or less, grease film may run out. As a guide, move the actuators back and forth repeatedly for around 5 cycles over a distance of 50 mm or more after every 5,000 to 10,000 cycles. Keep using the actuators with the grease worn out may cause malfunction.
3. Do not attempt to apply a rotary torque the rod.
Make the rod axis center and the load movement direction are the same. Doing so may damage the internal component such as the rod stopper, and may result in an operation failure. Make sure to hold the rod with a wrench sized 14 when tightening a nut on the tip of the rod.
4. Do not attempt to apply load more than allowable value (the value same as the maximum pressing force) or impact load to the thrust direction.
Doing so may damage the internal component such as the rod stopper, and may result in an operation failure.
5. Make sure to attach the actuator properly by following this operation manual.
Using the product with the actuator not being certainly retained or affixed may cause abnormal noise, vibration, malfunction or shorten the product life.

1.2.6 Relation Between Current Limit and Pressing Force
Perform the pressing operation with RCP2 (stepping motor).
                
Caution: (1)The relation of the current limit and the pressing force is a reference assuming when the speed is 20mm/s.
(2)There will be a little variance in the actual pressing force. If the value of
current limit is small, the variance for the pressing force becomes big.
(3)Use the product with the current limit within the range specified in the graph.
If used below 20%, the pressing force would not be stable. An operation may not be made in some cases. An operation cannot be made also when it is beyond 70%. If use in such a condition, it may extremely shorten the product life by the degradation of insulator in the motor coil due to heat generation.
(4)When the approaching speed (setting in the position table) to the pressing
start position is 20mm/s or less, the pressing operation will be made with the approaching speed. In this case, also, the pressing force would not be stable. In such cased, check in advance that the actuator can be used with no problem before start using.

1.2.7 Duty Ratio in Continuous Operation
[1] RCP2
Operation can be performed with the duty ratio 100%. Duty ratio is the rate of operation expressed in % that presents the time of the actuator being operated in 1 cycle of operation.
[2] RCA
Perform an operation with the duty ratio below the allowable range.
Caution: If the overload error occurs, try either to reduce the duty by extending the stop time or to
reduce the acceleration/deceleration speed.
[How to Calculation Duty] Figure out the load ratio and acceleration/deceleration time ratio, and read the duty ratio from the graph. If the load ratio if less than 50%, operation with 100% of the duty ratio (continuous operation) is available.

2.1 Transportation

[1] Handling of Robot
Unless otherwise specified, the actuators are packaged individually.
(1) Handling the Packed Unit
y Do not damage or drop. The package is not applied with any special treatment that enables it to resist
an impact caused by a drop or crash.
y Keep the unit in horizontal orientation when placing it on the ground or transporting. Follow the
instruction if there is any for the packaging condition.
y Do not step or sit on the package. y Do not put any load that may cause a deformation or breakage of the package.
(2) Handling the Actuator After Unpacking
y Do not attempt to carry the actuator with holding a cable or move it by pulling a cable. y Hold the frame of the body when transporting the actuator main body. y Do not hit or drop the actuator during transportation. y Do not carry an actuator by motor unit and a cable or attempt to move it by pulling the cable.
29
[2] Handling in Assembled Condition
This is the case when the product is delivered from our factory under a condition that it is assembled with other actuators. The combined axes are delivered in a package that the frame is nailed on the lumber base. The rods are fixed so they would not accidently move. The actuators are also fixed so the tip of it would not shake due to the external vibration.
(1) How to Handle in Package
y Do not hit or drop the package. No special treatment is conducted on this package to endure a drop or
impact on it.
y Do not attempt to carry a heavy package with only one worker. Also, have an appropriate method for
transportation.
y When hanging up with ropes, support on the reinforcement frame on the bottom of the lumber base.
When bringing up the package with a forklift, also support on the bottom of the lumber base.
y Handle with care when putting the package down to avoid impact or bounce. y Do not step on the package. y Do not put anything on the package that could deform or damage it.
(2) How to Handle after Unpackaged
y Fix the rod so they would not accidently move during transportation. y If the tip of an actuator is overhanging, have an appropriate way to fix it to avoid shake due to the
external vibration. In the transportation without the tip being fixed, do not apply any impact with 0.3G or more.
y When hanging up with ropes, have appropriate cushioning to avoid any deformation of the actuator
body. Also keep it in stable horizontal orientation. Make a fixture utilizing the attachment holes and the tapped holes on the actuator body if necessary.
y Do not attempt to apply load on the actuators or the connector box. Also pay attention not to pinch
cables and bend or deform them forcefully.
[3] Handling in Condition of being assembled in Machinery Equipment (System)
This is some caution notes for when transporting the actuator being assembled in the machinery equipment (system).
y Fix the cables so they would not move during transportation. y If the tip of an actuator is overhanging, have an appropriate way to fix it to avoid shake due to the
external vibration. In the transportation without the tip being fixed, do not apply any impact with 0.3G or more.
y When hanging up the machinery equipment (system) with ropes, do not attempt to apply load on the
actuators or the connector box. Also pay attention not to pinch cables and bend or deform them forcefully.

2.2 Installation and Storage • Preservation Environment

[1] Installation Environment
The actuator should be installed in a location other than those specified below. In general, the installation environment should be one in which an operator can work without protective gear. Also provide sufficient work space required for maintenance inspection.
y Where the actuator receives radiant heat from strong heat sources such as heat treatment furnaces y Where the ambient temperature exceeds the range of 0 to 40qC y Where the temperature changes rapidly and condensation occurs y Where the relative humidity exceeds 85% RH y Where the actuator receives direct sunlight y Where the actuator is exposed to corrosive or combustible gases y Where the ambient air contains a large amount of powder dust, salt or iron (at level exceeding what is
normally expected in an assembly plant)
y Where the actuator is subject to splashed water, oil (including oil mist or cutting fluid) or chemical
solutions
y Where the actuator receives impact or vibration
If the actuator is used in any of the following locations, provide sufficient shielding measures:
y Where noise generates due to static electricity, etc. y Where the actuator is subject to a strong electric or magnetic field y Where the actuator is subject to ultraviolet ray or radiation
[2] Storage • Preservation Environment
y The storage and preservation environment should comply with the same standards as those for the
installation environment. In particular, when the machine is to be stored for a long time, pay close attention to environmental conditions so that no dew condensation forms.
y Unless specially specified, moisture absorbency protection is not included in the package when the
machine is delivered. In the case that the machine is to be stored and preserved in an environment where dew condensation is anticipated, take the condensation preventive measures from outside of the entire package, or directly after opening the package.
y For storage and preservation temperature, the machine withstands temperatures up to 60qC for a short
time, but in the case of the storage and preservation period of 1 month or more, control the temperature to 50qC or less.
y Storage and preservation should be performed in the horizontal condition. In the case it is stored in the
packaged condition, follow the posture instruction if any displayed on the package.

2.3 How to Installation

This chapter explains how to install the actuator on your mechanical system.
2.3.1 Installation of the Main Unit
Tapped holes are provided on the front face, rear face, right/left side faces and bottom face of the actuator so that the actuator can be installed from any of these five directions. The tapped hole size varies depending on the mounting surface. (Refer to 6, “External Dimensions.”)
Front face/rear face: M6, depth 12 Right/left side faces/bottom face: M4, depth 10
Caution: Select the bolt length carefully. If bolts of an inappropriate length are used, the tapped
holes may be damaged or sufficient actuator installation strength may not be achieved, resulting in lower precision or unexpected accidents.
2.3.2 Attachment Surface
• The mounting table should have sufficient rigidity to avoid generating vibration.
• The surface where the actuator will be mounted should be machined or be equally level and the flatness tolerance between the actuator and the table should be within 0.05mm.
• Provide enough space around the actuator to permit maintenance work to be done.
2.3.3 Tightening Screws
• Use hexagonal socket head bolts for mounting male threads.
• Use of high-strength bolts of ISO-10.9 or higher is recommended.
• Make sure to have the effective length of screw engagement described below or more for the tightening of a bolt and a female screw. When female screw is on steel ĺ thread length same as nominal diameter When female screw is on aluminum ĺ 1.8 times of nominal diameter
Recommended tightening torques are as follows.

3 Connecting with the Controller

For the controller, only the dedicated controller manufactured by our company can be used. Using other controllers may cause a problem such as burning the product, ignition or generating heat. Use the dedicated cable enclosed in the package when connecting the actuator and the controller.
• In applications where the cable cannot be secured, keep the bending radius of the cable to a level resulting from natural deflection by the weight of the cable, or use a self-supporting cable hose or otherwise increase the wiring radius, to minimize the load applied to the cable.
• Never cut and/or reconnect the cables supplied with the product for the purpose of extending or shortening the cable length.
• Do not pull or forcibly bend the cable.
* For cable modification, please contact IAI.

Warning: For wiring, please follow the warnings stated below. When constructing a system
as the machinery equipment, pay attention to the wiring and connection of each cable so they are conducted properly. Not following them may cause not only a malfunction such as cable breakage or connection failure, or an operation error, but also electric shock or electric leakage, or may even cause a fire.
• Use dedicated cables of IAI indicated in this instruction manual. Contact us if you wish to have a change to the specifications of the dedicated cables.
• Make sure to turn the power off in the process of power line or cable connection or disconnection.
• Do not attempt to cut a dedicated cable with connectors on both ends to extend, shorten or re-joint it.
• Hold the dedicated cable to avoid mechanical force being applied to the terminals and connectors.
• Use a cable pipe or duct to have an appropriate protection when there is a possibility of mechanical damage on a dedicated cable.
• In case a dedicated cable is to be used at a moving part, make sure to lay out the cable without applying any force to pull the connector or extreme bend on the cable. Do not attempt to use the cable with a bending radius below the allowable value.
• Make certain that the connectors are plugged properly. Insufficient connection may cause an operation error, thus it is extremely risky.
• Do not lay out the cables to where the machine runs over them.
• Pay attention to the cable layout so it would not hit peripherals during an operation. In case it does, have an appropriate protection such as a cable track.
• When a cable is used hanging on the ceiling, prevent an environment that the cable swings with acceleration or wind velocity.
• Make sure there is not too much friction inside the cable storage equipment.
• Do not apply radiated heat to power line or cables.
• Have a sufficient radius for bending, and avoid a bend concentrating on one point.
Steel Strap (Piano Wire)
Tie them up softly.
• Do not let the cable bend, kink or twist.

• Do not pull the cable with a strong force.
• Pay attention not to concentrate the twisting force to one point on a cable.
• Do not pinch, drop a heavy object onto or cut the cable.
• When a cable is fastened to affix, make sure to have an appropriate force and do not tighten too much.
Do not use spiral tube in any position where cables are bent frequently.
• PIO line, communication line, power and driving lines are to be put separately from each other and do not tie them together. Arrange so that such lines are independently routed in the duct.

Follow the instructions below when using a cable track.
• If there is an indication to the cable for the space factor in a cable track, refer to the wiring instruction given by the supplier when storing the cable in the cable track.
• Avoid the cables to get twined or twisted in the cable track, and also to have the cables move freely and do not tie them up. (Avoid tension being applied when the cables are bent.) Do not pile up cables. It may cause faster abrasion of the sheaths or cable breakage.

4. Setting of Home Position

4.1 Fine-Tuning of Home Position

It is approximately 3mm for the distance to stop at the home position after reversing at the mechanical end for home-return operation.
If the home-return direction is the same, the home position of the actuator can be fine-tuned by changing the parameter.
Follow the instruction below when a fine-tuning is necessary.
1) Perform the home-return operation.
2) Move the actuator to the desired home position with the jog operation, and adjust the parameter by the difference calculated from the operation. Parameter can be changed in the positive direction of the movement. (Setting of negative direction cannot be established.) Corresponding Parameter: ACON, PCON Controllers: No.22 Home Return Offset Level ACON, PCON Controllers: Each Axis Parameter No.12 Home Preset Value
3) If the offset is made big, the movement range will be limited. Reconstruction of the soft stroke limit is also required when an offset more than 1mm is indicated.

y Clean the exterior as needed. y Wipe off dirt with a soft cloth. y Do not use strong compressed air on the actuator as this may force dust into the crevices. y Do not use petroleum-based solvent on plastic parts or painted surfaces. y If the unit is badly soiled, apply a neutral detergent or alcohol to a soft cloth and wipe lightly. y Do not use petroleum-based solvents, neutral detergents or alcohol to clean the interior.
Caution: Do not touch the encoder.

5.4 Grease Supply

5.4.1 Grease to Apply
The actuator is shipped with lithium grease applied to the ball screw. The following dedicated grease is applied to the ball screw prior to the shipment from our factory.Apart from above, there are equivalent sorts of grease sold in the market.
Kyodo Yushi Multemp LRL No. 3
5.4.2 Grease supply
When performing maintenance, add grease from the greasing port using a spray-type lithium grease to lubricate the ball screw. Lubricate the ball screw after pulling the rod all the way to the stroke end. Stroke the rod several times back and forth over the entire stroke to let the grease spread evenly across the entire ball screw.
Caution: y Do not attempt to apply fluorine grease.
y When mixed with lithium grease, not only decrease the grease characteristics, but
also may damage the actuator.
y In case the grease got into your eye, immediately go see the doctor to get
appropriate care.
y After finishing the grease supply work, wash your hands carefully with water and
soap to rinse the grease off.

5.5 Replacing the Motor and Belt
