Caution in Handling
1. Handling of Robot
Pay attention to the followings when carrying an actuator by itself.
(1) Handling of the Packed Product
•Do not damage or drop. The package is not applied with any special treatment that enables it to resist an
impact caused by a drop or crash.
•An operator should never attempt to carry a heavy package on their own. Also, use an appropriate way for
transportation.
•If the shipping box is to be left standing, it should be in a horizontal position. Follow the instruction if there is
any for the packaging condition.
•Do not step or sit on the package.
•Do not put any load that may cause a deformation or breakage of the package.
(2) Handling after Unpackaged
•Do not carry the actuator by holding the cable, or do not move it by pulling the cable.
•Hold the body base when transporting the actuator.
•Do not hit or drop the product while carrying.
•Do not give any excessive force to any of the sections in the actuator.
2. Handling of Multi-Axes Type
This is the case that this product is delivered with other actuators being combined. Multi-axes type will be
delivered in a package with an outer case fixed to a wooden base. Tables are fixed so they would not accidently
move while in transportation. The end of the actuator is also fixed to avoid it swinging by external vibration.
(1) Handling of the Packed Product
•Do not damage or drop. The package is not applied with any special treatment that enables it to resist an
impact caused by a drop or crash.
•An operator should never attempt to carry a heavy package on their own. Also, use an appropriate way for
transportation.
•When suspending the package using ropes, pass the ropes from underneath the reinforcement frames at
the bottom of the base. When lifting with a forklift, also place the forks underneath the base.
•Do not apply an impact on the package or let it bounce when putting it down.
•Do not step or sit on the package.
•Do not put any load that may cause a deformation or breakage of the package.
(2) Handling after Unpackaged
•Secure the tables to prevent sudden movement during transport.
•Appropriately fix the tip of the actuators if it is overhanging so it would not widely shake with external
vibration. If the actuator assembly is transported without the ends being secured, do not apply an impact of
0.3G or more.
•In the case that the actuator needs to be carried up with ropes or another method, be sure to use an
appropriate cushioning to avoid the robot being deformed or put on an excessive pressure. And also, be
sure to keep the robot in a stable and horizontal posture. Make a tool to utilize the attachment holes and
tapped holes on the actuator and attach it if necessary.
•Do not attempt to apply load to the actuator or connector box. Also, avoid the cables being pinched or
caused an excessive deformation.
3. Handling of Robot Mounted on Mechanical Equipment (System)
Followings are the cautions for when transporting the actuators installed in the machinery equipment (system) in
the whole system.
•Affix the table so they would not move while transporting.
•If any end of the actuator is overhanging, secure it properly to avoid significant movement due to external
vibration. If the actuator assembly is transported without the ends being secured, do not apply an impact of
0.3G or more.
•Do not attempt to apply load to actuators or connector box when hanging the machinery equipment
(system) with tools such as a rope. Also, avoid the cables being pinched or caused an excessive
deformation.

Attachment
Refer to the Instruction Manual (DVD) for the attachments of the actuator and loads.
[Precautions for Attachments]
No. Item Precautions
1 Installation •Have an appropriate protection when using the product in an
environment related to food that requires the hygienic management
so the actuator would not directly touch the food.
In case the actuator has touched the food, do not treat it as selling
goods.
•The unit cannot be mounted vertically, horizontally oriented on the
wall or on the ceiling.
•If the table is laid on the top, it can be installed in the horizontally
oriented wall mount or in the ceiling mount (option).
2 Attachment Surface •The base has to have a structure with sufficient rigidity to prevent
oscillation.
•There are datum surfaces for attachment on the bracket.
The flatness of the table operation differs for the stroke of each
actuator model. [Refer to the Catalog or Instruction Manual (DVD)]
•The actuator mounting surface and other surfaces that are used as a
datum should be flat enough with an accuracy of machining or
equivalent treatment, and the flatness of the mounting surface needs
to be ±0.1mm/m or less.
•Secure the space where maintenance work can be performed.
3 Bolts to be used •For the bolts to be used, a high-tensile bolt complying with ISO-10.9
or more is recommended.
•If using the tapped holes, use screws with the thread length
dimension being less than the effective depth of the holes.
•In case the tapped hole is a through hole, be careful so the screw tip
does not exceed the surface of the tapped hole.
•For the actuator mounting, use a bolt with the dimension of its
effective mating length to the tapped hole size as stated below.
When tapped hole is on aluminum
→thread length 1.8 times longer than nominal diameter
If it is a through hole, have the following values:
When female screw is on steel
→thread length same as nominal diameter.
When female screw is on aluminum
→thread length 1.8 times longer than nominal diameter
4 Tightening Torque •Please follow the specification values stated in the Instruction
Manual (DVD) for the tightening torque.
Failure to do so may cause an operation problem.
5 Load Moment and
Overhung length
•Please follow the specification values stated in the Instruction
Manual (DVD) for the load moment and the overhung length. Failure
to do so may cause abnormal vibration or noise, and also may
remarkably shorten the product life.
Wiring
For the controller, only the dedicated controller manufactured by our company can be used.
Using other controllers may cause a problem such as burning the product, ignition or generating heat.
Use the dedicated cable enclosed in the package when connecting the actuator and the controller.
[Prohibited Items in the Cable Processing]
•Do not pull or bend forcibly the cable so as not to give any extra load or tension to the
cable.
•Do not process the cable to extend or shortening by means of cutting out, combination
or connecting with another cable.
•Do not let the cable flex at a single point.
•Do not let the cable bend, kink or twist.
•Do not pull the cable with a strong force.
•Do not let the cable receive a turning force at a single point.
•Do not pinch, drop a heavy object onto or cut the cable.
•When fixing the cable, provide a moderate slack and do not tension it too tight.
•Separate the I/O line, communication line and power line from each other.
Do not store in the same duct.
•When using a cable track, make sure to apply robot cables, avoid any tangle or twist in
the cable track or flexible tube, and do not tie together so the cables are free to move.
(Do not bend it at an angle of 90°or less)
•The cable track capacity for cables to put in should be 60% or less to prevent cables
from breaking. (Cable heat is not considered.)
Note:
•When the cable is connected or disconnected, make sure to turn off the power to the controller.
When the cable is connected or disconnected with the controller power turned ON, it might cause a
malfunction of the actuator and result in a serious injury or damage to the machinery.
•When the connector connection is not correct, it would be dangerous because of a malfunction of
the actuator. Make sure to confirm that the connector is connected correctly.
