Page 34
2) Origin offset The origin offset means the value of the origin. (“Origin offset”=origin) When the parameter “Origin offset” is changed, the value of “Stroke(+)”, “Stroke(-)” of basic parameter should be checked again. Initial input value: “Origin offset”=0 Move in the opposite direction (Moving distance 2mm / Not changeable) by the return to origin becomes "origin =0".
Page 35
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 actuator / rod type” is used, refer to the operation manual of each actuator and the controller’s (LEC series) operation manual for the ORIG parameter.
5. Wiring of cables / Common precautions Warning Adjusting, mounting or wiring change should never be done before shutting off the power supply to the product. Electrical shock, malfunction and damaged can result. Never disassemble the cable. Use only specified cables. Never connect or disconnect the cable or connector with power on.
6. Electric actuators / Common precautions 6.1 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.
Rerutning to origin cannot be done during the operation. It cannot be done during positioning operation, pushing operation and pushing. Refer to a common auto switch /matter (Best Pneumatics No 2) when an auto switch is built in and used. 6.2 Mounting Warning 1.
6.3 Handling Warning Do not touch the motor while in operation. The surface temperature of the motor can increase to approx. 90 C to 100 C due to operating conditions. Energizing alone may also cause this temperature increase. As it may cause burns, do not touch the motor when in operation.
[Unpackaging] Caution 1. Check the received product is as ordered. If the different product is installed from the one ordered, injury or damage can result. 6.4 Operating environment Warning 1. Avoid use in the following environments. a. Locations where a large amount of dusts and cutting chips are airborne. b.
6.5 Maintenance Warning Do not disassemble or repair the product. Fire or electric shock can result. Before modifying or checking the wiring, the voltage should be checked with a tester 5 minutes after the power supply is turned off. Electrical shock can result. Caution Maintenance should be performed according to the procedure indicated in the Operating Manual.
7. Electric actuators / Common precautions 7.1 Design and selection Warning Do not apply a load in excess of the actuator specification. A product should be selected based on the maximum work load and allowable moment. If the product is used outside of the operating specification, eccentric load applied to the guide will become excessive and have adverse effects such as creating play at the guide, reduced accuracy and reduced product life.

Keep the specifications driving speed range for pushing operation. It causes the breakage and malfunction. The positioning force should be set to “Initial input value”. (LEY16/25/32*:100%, LEY16A*:150%, LEY25A*:200%) If the positioning force is set below “Initial input value”, it can displace the tack time, which causes an alarm.

The duty ratio is a ratio at the time that can keep being pushed. ・Step motor(Servo DC24V) LEY16 LEY25 LEY32 Operating temperature: 25℃ or less Operating temperature: 40℃ or less Operating temperature: 25℃ or less Continuous Continuous Continuous...
7.3 Mounting Caution Fix 'Socket' square width across flats in the piston rod point with the spanner etc. , prevent the piston rod from rotating, and tighten the screw tightening when work piece or jig, etc. are installed properly by the torque value within the range of the limitation. It causes the abnormal reaction of an auto switch, the space of an internal guide, and an increase of the sliding resistance, etc..
