14.1 Functions and configuration

14.1.1 Summary
The fields of semiconductor/LCD manufacturing systems, mounters, and others have strong demands for
high accuracy, high speed, and efficiency. Therefore, the number of systems using a linear servo motor for a
drive axis has been increasing. Since the linear servo system can obtain the characteristics of the high
speed and the high acceleration/deceleration greater than the ball screw drive system. The linear servo
system also does not have a ball screw wear which is a weak point in the ball screw drive system. This will
extend the life of the equipment. In addition, since a response error due to backlash and friction does not
occur, you can establish a high-accuracy system.
The following shows the differences between the linear servo motor and the rotary servo motor.

Remarks
Automatically turns on in the
parameter setting.
Automatically executed at the first
servo-on after the power is turned
on.
For the absolute position linear
encoder, [Pr. PL01] can disable the
magnetic pole detection. The timing
of the magnetic pole detection can
be changed with [Pr. PL01]. (Refer
to (2) (b) of section 14.3.3.)
Home position return pitch can be
changed with parameter setting.
(Refer to section 14.3.3)
