  • Page 24 (9) Be careful not to touch, get caught or hit by the work piece while the actuator is moving. It may cause an injury. (10) The table and guide rail are made of special stainless steel, but can rust in an environment where droplets of water adhere to it.

  • Page 25: Mounting

    4. 3 Mounting Warning (1) Read and understand the Operation Manual before installing and operating the product. Also keep this manual available whenever necessary. (2) Strong magnet. The Card Motor contains a strong rare-earth magnet. If magnetized work pieces, tools and metallic parts are brought in the vicinity of the Card Motor, they will be attracted, which could cause injury to operators and damage the equipment.
  • Page 26 (4) When mounting the Card Motor, use stainless steel screws with appropriate length and tighten with recommended tightening torque. If the maximum screw-in depth is exceeded, it may damage the internal components. Using a tightening torque higher than the specified torque may cause malfunction, and using a lower tightening torque may displace the work piece or cause it to drop off.
