Cable model numbers

Nozzle

Is a nozzle provided?

A nozzle is not provided.
We ask that the customer prepare a nozzle on their own.
Secure it to the side of the shaft using a V-groove or a tapped end.
For details, please refer to "5-3-2. Nozzle installation" in the instruction manual.

Motor

Is it possible to select the capacity?

Calculations can be made based on the load information of the mounted object and the Z axis and θ axis operation conditions.
The following information is required, so please take note.

・Mass and inertia of the mounted object (nozzle + workpiece)
・Z axis operation patterns (reciprocating motion strokes and cycle time for pick and place operations)
・θ axis operation pattern (maximum movement angle and operation time)
・Z axis and θ axis rest time (duty ratio)

What is the maximum payload?

The basic specifications are as follows.

Mass and Inertia:
Loading mass: 80 g
Loading inertia: 2 kg/mm2
* The specifications are described in "10-1-1. Basic specifications" in the intruction manual.

Can the servo be turned on from any position?

For the Z axis, the servo can be turned on from any position.
The θ axis is DC-excited when the servo is on, which may cause large and abrupt movements.
Please turn on the servo when the θ axis can rotate 360° so that there is no interference when the θ axis rotates.

Operation of magnetic pole detection

The z axis can turn on the servo almost on the spot because it is excited after searching the magnetic poles of the spot in the brake lock status.
Since the θ axis is DC-excited, when the servo is turned on, it operates rapidly to the excited position.

Can jogging and inching be done without homing?

There is no jog operation, but there is inching.
Inching can be performed without homing.

Can you use rotation control on the θ axis?

Yes, you can use rotation control.

Can the Θ axis rotate limitlessly?

The stroke can rotate 360°.
Up to 100 rotations can be performed in a single sequence operation, and there is no limit to the number of rotations in the same direction.

Air cooling

Is air cooling required?

It is not required.
It is required if the installation or operation conditions result in high internal temperatures (because, for example, in a stacked installation, heat tends to accumulate).

Air pressure

What is the space volume of the air passage inside the PPR?

The space volume from the solenoid valve to the end of the shaft is approximately 1 mL.

What is the difference between a contamination cover and a filter?

Contamination suction is used to suck up contaminants (e.g. shaft wear particles) generated from inside the head so that they do not fall on the workpiece or mounting point.
A filter prevents external contaminants (workpiece chips, etc.) from entering the intake air from the shaft end into the pneumatic module inside the head.
External contaminants can cause solenoid valves and pressure/flow rate sensors to malfunction.

Does it have an integrated ejector?

There is no integrated ejector.
Connect the required pneumatic devices to the positive pressure and negative pressure sides of the suction air fitting.

Sensor

What is zeroing the sensor?

This function sets the values for the pressure, flow rate, and force sensors as the new zero when this function is executed.

What is the degree of precision of the force sensor?

Resolution: 0.01 N (1 g)
Minimum detectable value of contact stop is 0.15 N (15 g)

* The above results were measured at a Z axis travel speed of 1 mm/s.

What is the acquisition frequency of the force sensor?

Data is acquired in 100 µs cycles. (10 kHz)
Data continuously output to the PLC is in 500 µs cycles. (2 kHz)

Network

What is the communication cycle of the network?

EtherCAT and MECHATROLINK-III are 500 μs minimum.
EtherNet/IP is 1 ms minimum.
Ethernet (TCP/IP) is 10 ms minimum.

Can I keep measurement data?

This section describes the functions during normal operation and when an abnormality occurs.
Data During Normal Operation:
The data is transmitted to the PLC in real time at 500 μs intervals during continuous operation with the PLC.
The dedicated PC application T-ACT can also be used to reference waveform data in sequence units.
Data When Abnormality Occurs:
When an alarm occurs and at any timing, waveforms can be saved for 10 seconds. The 10 seconds is broken down into 8 seconds before the trigger is applied and 2 seconds after.
This waveform data can be read from the PLC via the message communication function or from the event history function when T-ACT is connected.

How many units can be connected on a network?

The maximum number is dependent on the type of network.
Please confirm the specifications of each network for details.
In-house evaluations have confirmed operation with up to 8 axes.

What sensor information do you have that you can check at all times?

Items that can be checked in cyclic communications are as follows:
Z axis: present position, command position, present speed, command speed, present current, command current
θ axis: present position, command position, present speed, command speed, present current, command current
Sensors: force sensor, pressure sensor, flow rate sensor, Z axis temperature, θ axis temperature, substrate temperature
(Described in "R-4 internal data" section of "Cyclic communications input data" on p. 116 of the instruction manual, etc.)

How should we think about decimal points when entering direct values using the target value pointer?

The target value pointer is set according to the input value set on the T-ACT, excluding the decimal point.
For example, if you want to set the Z axis position to 10.000 mm, set the pointer setting value to 10,000.
If you want to set the Θ axis position to 90.00°, set the pointer setting value to 9,000."

Maintenance

How do I lubricate the LM Guide?

Open the cover and lubricate the LM Guide rail directly.
