5.4 Parameter setting Initial setting for the basic parameters Refer to the controller’s (LEC series) operation manual for detail. As the “basic parameter” is unique data of each actuator, if an actuator other than the electric gripper is used, refer to the operation manual of each actuator and the controller’s (LEC series) operation manual for the basic parameter.
Page 38
2) Origin offset The origin offset means the value of the origin. (Origin offset = origin) The moving amount in the opposite direction is set at 1 mm (not changeable), so add/ subtract 1 mm when the origin offset parameter is changed. When the parameter is changed, the current position is changed.
Initial setting for the ORIG parameters Refer to the controller’s (LEC series) operation manual for detail. As the “ORIG parameter” is unique data of each actuator, if an actuator other than the electric gripper is used, refer to the operation manual of each actuator and the controller’s (LEC series) operation manual for the for the “ORIG parameters”...
6. Wiring of cables / Common precautions Warning Adjusting, mounting or wiring change should never be done before disconnecting the power supply to the product. Electrical shock, malfunction and damage can result. Do not disassemble the cables. Use only specified cables. Do not connect or disconnect the wires, cables and connectors when the power is turned on.
7. Electric actuators / Common precautions 7.1 Design and selection Warning 1. Be sure to read the operation manual (this manual and the one for the controller: LEC series). Handling or usage/operation other than that specified in the Operation Manual may lead to breakage and operation failure of the product.
Returning to origin cannot be done during the operation. It cannot be done during positioning operation, pushing operation and pushing. 7.2 Mounting Warning 1. Install and operate the product only after reading the Operation Manual carefully and understanding its contents. Keep the manual in a safe place future reference. 2.
Page 43
When installing, adjusting, inspecting or performing maintenance on the product, controller and related equipment, be sure to turn off the power supply to each of them. Then, lock it so that no one other than the person working can turn the power on, or implement measures such as a safety plug.
7.4 Operating environment Warning 1. Avoid use in the following environments. a. Locations where a large amount of dusts and cutting chips are airborne. b. Locations where the ambient temperature is outside the range (refer to specifications). c. Locations where the ambient humidity is outside the range (refer to specifications). d.
2. Removal of product When equipment is serviced, first confirm that measures are in place to prevent dropping of work pieces and run-away of equipment, etc, and then cut the power supply to the system. When machinery is restarted, check that operation is normal with actuators in the proper positions. [Lubrication] Caution 1.

Finger Attachment Gripping spase Gripping spas 逃げ部 逃げ部 Needle shaped work piece 薄板ワーク Needle shaped work piece 針状ワーク Select the model that allows for gripping force in relation to the weight of a work piece, as appropriate. The selection of inappropriate model can cause dropping of a work piece. Gripping force should be from 10 to 20 times (LEHZ(J),LEHF) or 7 to 13 times (LEHS) of the weight of the object to be conveyed.
8.2 Mounting Warning Do not drop or hit the gripper when mounting to avoid scratches and dents. Even slight deformation can cause the deterioration of accuracy and operation failure. Tighten the attachment mounting screws to the specified torque. Tightening to a torque over the specified range can cause operation failure, and insufficient torque can cause displacing or dropping of the attachment.

Tighten the product mounting screws to the specified torque. Tightening to a torque over the specified range can cause operation failure, and insufficient torque can cause displacing or dropping of the attachment. When fixing the attachment to the finger, avoid applying excessive torque to the finger. Play or deteriorated accuracy can result.
When mounting a work piece, align it with the product carefully to prevent excessive force to the finger. In particular, during a a trial run, operate the product manually or at a low speed and check that the safety is assured without impact. O : Aligned X : Not aligned ○心が合っている...

3) “M24V (motor driving power supply)” of the CN1 of the controller is shut off. a) There will be no change in output conditions due to stop. b) How to restart operation In this situation, operation can be restarted after stop is released. It is not necessary to remove a work piece beforehand because a motor magnetic pole detective operation will not occur.
