Caution: (1) The relation of the current limit and the pressing force is a reference when
assuming the speed is 20mm/s.
(2) There is a little variance in the actual pressing force. The variance of the
pressing force becomes large when the current limit value is low.
(3) Use the product within the range in the graph for the current limit value.
Pressing force will not be stable if used below 20% (below 30% for Lead
16). There is even a case that it would not operate. An operation cannot be made also when it is beyond 70%. Doing so may cause degradation in the motor coil insulation by heat radiation, which results in shortening the product life.
(4) For CON-system controllers such as PCON, when the approach speed to
the pressing start position (setting in the position table) is 20mm/s or less, pressing will be performed with the approach speed In such a case also the pressing force will be unstable. In such cases, check in advance that the actuator can be used with no problem before omit using.
For SEL-system controllers, such as MSEL, press at the speed set by
PAPR instruction, regardless of the approach speed up to the pressing start position.

2.1 Transportation
[1] Handling of Robot
(1) Handling the Packed Unit
Unless otherwise specified, the actuator is shipped with each axis packaged separately.
Do not damage or drop. No special treatment is conducted on this package to endure a drop or impact on it.
Do not attempt to carry a heavy package with only one worker. Consider an appropriate method for transportation.
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.
Do not step or sit on the package.
Do not put any load that may cause a deformation or breakage of the package.
(2) Handling the Actuator After Unpacking
Do not carry an actuator by motor unit and a cable or attempt to move it by pulling the cable.
Be careful not to bump the actuator into anything when moving it.
Hold the body base when transporting the actuator.
Do not apply an excessive force to each part of the actuator.
Supplement) For the names of each part of the actuator, refer to “Names of the Parts”
65
2. Installation
[2] Handling in the 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. Fix the rod so that would not accidentally move during transportation. The actuators are also fixed so the tip of it would not shake due to the external vibration.
(1) Handling the Packed Unit
Do not hit or drop the package. No special treatment is conducted on this package to endure a drop or impact on it.
Do not attempt to carry a heavy package with only one worker. Also, have an appropriate method for transportation.
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.
Handle with care when putting the package down to avoid impact or bounce.
Do not step on the package.
Do not put any load that may cause a deformation or breakage of the package.
(2) How to Handle after Unpackaged
Secure the rods to prevent sudden movement during transport.
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.
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.
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)
These are some caution notes for when transporting the actuator being assembled in the machinery equipment (system):
Secure the rods to prevent sudden movement during transport.
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.
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.
Where the actuator receives radiant heat from strong heat sources such as heat treatment furnaces
Where the ambient temperature exceeds the range of 0 to 40°C
Where the temperature changes rapidly and condensation occurs
Where the relative humidity exceeds 85% RH
Where the actuator receives direct sunlight
Where the actuator is exposed to corrosive or combustible gases
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)
Where the actuator is subject to splashed water, oil (including oil mist or cutting fluid) or chemical solutions
Where the actuator receives impact or vibration
Where the altitude is more than 2000m
If the actuator is used in any of the following locations, provide sufficient shielding measures:
Where noise generates due to static electricity, etc.
Where the actuator is subject to a strong electric or magnetic field
Where the actuator is subject to ultraviolet ray or radiation
[2] Storage • Preservation Environment
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.

Note: · Grease has been applied to the outer periphery of the rod. Protect the peripheral
equipments if they are affected by grease adhesion.
· When the unit is installed vertically oriented, Motor straight type is attempt to put the motor up unless there is a special reason. · Putting the motor on the lower side would not cause a problem in an ordinary operation. However, it may rarely cause a problem, when it is not operated for a long period, depending on the surrounding environment (especially high temperature), caused by the grease being separated and the base oil flowing into the motor unit.

2.3.2 Installation of the Main Unit
The surface to mount the main unit should be a machined surface or a plane that possesses an equivalent accuracy and the flatness should be within 0.05mm/m. Also, the platform should have a structure stiff enough to install the unit so it would not generate vibration or other abnormality.
Also consider enough space necessary for maintenance work such as actuator replacement and inspection. T-slots are provided on the back of the actuator. Nut holes are provided on the actuator frame front and the side-mounted motor type rear bracket.
Using these parts, the following installations can be realized.
· Installation by using T-slots
· Installation by using foot brackets (option: model FT)
· Installing main unit frame front
· Installation by using flange (option: model FL)
· Installation by using rear bracket for side-mounted motor types
[1] Using the T-slot on the Bottom of the Base

3. Connecting with the Controller
As the connection cable for the controller and RCP6/RCP6S (this actuator), use the IAI-dedicated controller and dedicated connection cable. This section explains the wiring method for a single axis.
If the dedicated connection cable cannot be secured, reduce the load on the cable by allowing it to deflect only by the weight of the cable or wire it in a self-standing cable hose, etc., having a large radius.
Do not cut and reconnect the dedicated connection cable for extension or shorten the cable.
Do not pull on the dedicated connection cable or bend it forcibly.
The actuator cable coming out of the motor unit is not meant to be bent. Fix the cable so it would
not be bent repeatedly
Please consult with IAI if you require a different kind of cable than the one supplied.
Robot Cable : 5m or below r = 68mm or more (use for operation) : In the case of exceeding 5m r = 73mm or more (use for operation) Standard Cable : 5m or below r = 85mm or more (use for operation) : In the case of exceeding 5m r = 91mm or more (use for operation)

3. Connecting with the Controller
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.
Do not bend the cable in the area from the connector tip inward to 150mm on both ends.

Have a sufficient radius for bending, and avoid a bend concentrating on one point.
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.

3. Connecting with the Controller
When a cable is fastened to affix, make sure to have an appropriate force and do not tighten too much.
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.
Do not use spiral tube in any position where cables are bent frequently.

4. Caution for Operation
4. Caution for Operation
When you tighten the nut onto the tip bracket threaded part, hold a wrench to width across flat part of the tip bracket with the rod in the most retracted state. Also, avoid that the load is applied to the inside whirl-stop as you tighten the nut.
As a general rule, it cannot be used to apply a torque to the rod tip. Statically acceptable values
and the rod tip maximum displacement angles (initial value reference) expected at that time are shown below. When the reaction force against the pressing operation is the side-way force, make sure it would not exceed the allowable load.
Do not apply radial load and load moment to the rod. Only the radial direction load that aligns with the rod axis can be applied. In the case that radial load and load moment cannot be avoided, attach an external guide (such as a linear guide) in order not to apply any load other than radial direction load to the rod. When the gravity center of work is on the rod axis on vertical motions, vibration may still be generated by the clearance of internal whirl-stop. Attachment of an external guide is recommended to suppress such vibration.
When connecting the rod to external guides, be careful on the parallelism of the guides to the rod. When connecting and fixing the rod to external guides, be careful not to apply excess side-way load to the rod because of the assembly variation.

Caution: • An actuator after 6 months of storage may have caused a degradation of the
grease. Supply grease before start using. [Refer to 5.6 “Grease Supply”]
Degradation speed of grease may differ depending on the environment of use (temperature, humidity and ambient conditions). It is recommended to shorten the grease supply period if the actuator is used under a bad condition such as in high temperature, high humidity or in dusty ambience.
Also, it is recommended to improve the environment conditions in case the
grease changes its color due to the bad condition of use.

5. Maintenance and Inspection
5.4.2 How to Apply Grease
(1) For RA4, remove slim hexagonal socket head bolts (M3 × 4) blocking the greasing port by
Allen wrench. For RA6/RA7/RA8, remove the rubber cap blocking the greasing port.
(2) Grease the ball screws and the whirl-stop according to the following instructions.
[Ball Screw]
Adjust the rod to the home position. By adjusting it to the home position, the greasing port and the port for ball screws will match inside the main unit. Connect the controller and adjust it to the home position. Insert the tip of the spray grease in greasing port and inject it for one second. One injection time should not exceed one second.
[Whirl-stop]
Adjust the rod position above 40mm. Insert the tip of the spray grease in greasing port and inject it for one second. One injection time should not exceed one second.
(3) Clean up the rod (sliding surface) and apply the grease with hands.
(4) After greasing, move the rod full-stroke to apply the grease thoroughly.
Caution: Supplying too much grease may increase sliding resistance and load to the motor,
resulting in a drop of performance.
In case the grease got into your eye, immediately go see the doctor to get
appropriate care. After finishing the grease supply work, wash your hands carefully with water and soap to rinse the grease OFF.
