CAUTION Do not perform the withstand voltage test or the insulation resistance test on the equipment to which this product is installed. In this circuit design, the product may be damaged if the withstand voltage test and the insulation resistance test are performed on the equipment to which the product is installed.
Page 18
Otherwise, maintenance and inspection cannot be performed, resulting in equipment stoppage, damage, and injury. Customers are responsible for confirming the compatibility of the CKD product with their system, machine, and device. When transporting or installing the product, ensure the safety of workers by supporting the product securely with lifts and supports and by using more than one worker.
Installation Environment Check the ambient temperature and atmosphere of the product specifications before storing or using the product. Use in a place where the ambient temperature is 0 to 40 °C. Ventilate if heat builds Use in a place where the ambient humidity is 20 to 85% RH. Use in a non- condensing environment.
Installation Method Precautions for Installation The machine for which ABSODEX is installed should have the maximum rigidity, so that ABSODEX will perform as designed. This rigidity requirement bases on that relatively low number of mechanical natural frequency (approximately 200 to 300Hz) of a load machine, and deck will cause ABSODEX to resonate with the machine and its deck.
Page 21
When ABSODEX cannot be directly mounted on a machine, it should be mounted on the deck having as much rigidity as possible. Example: Mounting with the shafts × 〇 2023-09-14 SM-A83981-A...
Page 22
Anti-vibration Using Dummy Inertia Plate When sufficient rigidity is not available for a machine, a dummy inertia plate at the nearest position to the actuator will help reduce resonance with the machine. The following explains the installation of a dummy inertia plate. Guideline for the magnitude of a dummy inertia is: Load inertia x (0.2 to 1).
Page 23
Connections by belts, a gear, a spline, and a key will cause machine rigidity to be reduced. In such instance, dummy inertia should be assumed to be load inertia x (0.5 to 2). When speed is reduced using belts or gear, load inertia should be the value converted by the actuator output axis, and dummy inertia plate should be installed at the actuator side.
Page 24
Installation Direction The actuator can be installed horizontally (on the floor or on the ceiling) or vertically. 〇 〇 WARNING If the servo is turned off (including safety function, forced stop, and alarm) while rotational force is applied by gravity or other force action, the rotational force may cause the actuator to rotate.
USAGE DANGER Do not enter the operating area while the actuator is ready for operation. There is a risk of injury. Do not work with wet hands. This may cause electric shock. WARNING Do not rotate the actuator output axis at 30 rpm or more with the power off.
Page 26
CAUTION Do not frequently turn the power on and off. Doing so may damage the internal elements of the controller. Do not operate the output axis for several seconds after power-on. An alarm may occur. When changing the combination of the actuator and the controller, be sure to check the program and parameters before operating.
MAINTENANCE INSPECTION DANGER TURN OFF POWER when making maintenance inspection or changing switches in the driver with the side cover removed as electrical shock due to high voltage can occur. There is a risk of injury. Do not work with wet hands. ...
