Page 39: Setting And Operation
4. Setting and operation In order to move the Card Motor to a specific position, it is necessary to set the operation patterns in the LATC4 controller using a PC with the controller setting software installed, or using the teaching box. The sequence of the step data set in the controller is programmed and controlled using a PLC connected to the controller. - Page 40 (2) Speed entry method Setting items: Target position [mm] , Speed [mm/s] , Acceleration [mm/s ] , Deceleration [mm/s Load weight [g] To obtain the total travel distance S [mm] in speed Vc Acceleration Aa absolute positioning mode, calculate the difference between the position from where the table travel Total travel starts to the target position.

Page 42: Return To Origin Position
4. 2 Return to Origin position The Card Motor uses an incremental type sensor (linear encoder) to detect the position of the table. Therefore, it is necessary to return the table to the Origin Position after the power has been switched on. There are three [Return to Origin Position] methods as described below. - Page 43 Returning to Origin Position movements When the Card Motor is commanded to return to Origin, the Card Motor starts moving from the position where it was in the direction set in the controller setting software in the [Basic Parameter Setup] page under [Method to Return to Origin]. Refer to ”(1)” in the figure below. The Card Motor moves to the respective stroke end until it is stopped by the mechanical end stop and waits there for a specific time, until the controller has recognized the position as the mechanical end stop.

Page 44: Positioning Operation
4. 3 Positioning operation Cycle Time Entry Method The acceleration and deceleration are automatically calculated by the controller based on the set target position and positioning time. The table moves according to a triangular movement profile (1) and stops at the set target position (2). Speed Entry Method The table moves based on the set acceleration, speed and deceleration according to a trapezoidal movement profile (3) and stops at the set target position (4). -
Page 45: Pushing Operation
4. 4 Pushing operation Cycle Time Entry Method The acceleration and deceleration are automatically calculated by the controller based on the set target position and positioning time. The table accelerates and decelerates according to a triangular movement profile close to the target position (1), thereafter it continues to move at low speed (6 mm/s) until it comes into contact with the work piece (2). - Page 46 Warning Consider possible unexpected movements of the Card Motor in the event of an emergency stop, alarm or power failure. If power is not supplied to the Card Motor due to an emergency stop, if the SVON signal is switched OFF, in the event of an alarm (when the temperature of the Card Motor exceeds 70 or at power failure, the table will not be held in place and may be moved by external forces.

Page 47: Measurement
5.5 Measurement The position sensor (encoder) built into the Card Motor detects the travel distance of the table, and measures the dimensions of the workpiece. Reference level (1) Push the tool against the reference 0.000 level, and reset the counter. Controller CEU5 Multi-counter Tool... - Page 48 Judgement Good/Bad and Differentiation of workpieces The area output ranges preset in the controller are compared with the table position, and the AREA output signals are activated by the controller when the table is within the preset range. Based on these output signals the dimension of the workpiece can be judged to be good or bad, and workpieces of different size can be differentiated.

5. Card Motor / Specific Product Precautions ® 5. 1 Design / Selection Warning (1) Make sure that you have read and understood this operation manual for the Card Motor and the one for the LATC4 series controller. Handling, usage or operation other than that specified in the operation manuals may lead to breakage, malfunction and operation failure of the product. -
Page 50: Handling Precautions
Caution (1) Operate within the limits of the maximum usable stroke. The stopper will be damaged if the Card Motor is used with a stroke outside the maximum stroke limits. Refer to the Card Motor specifications for maximum strokes. (2) Do not apply a load outside the specifications. The Card Motor should be fitted for the application based on the maximum workload and allowable moments. - Page 51 (2) When there is abnormal temperature rise, burning or smoking, shut off the power supply. (3) Strong magnet warning. In case abnormal operation noise or vibration occurs, the Card Motor may have been improperly mounted or is loose. Unless operation is stopped for inspection, machinery can be seriously damaged.

Page 52: Mounting
(11) Do not dent, scratch or cause other damage to the steel ball rolling surface of the table and rail. It will result in play or increased sliding friction. (12) Positioning accuracy, thrust and measurement accuracy may vary after the Card Motor or the workload have been mounted, depending on the mounting conditions and environment. - Page 53 (7) Do not scratch or damage any sliding part by hitting it with an object. The components are manufactured to high precision. Therefore even a slight deformation may cause operation failure. Caution (1) Mount the Card Motor on a base with good cooling performance, for example a metal plate. If the cooling performance is not good enough, the temperature of the Card Motor will increase, which may cause damage.
