1 Introduction
1.1 Before Using the Product
• Only qualified personnel should work with the product.
• Use the product correctly after thoroughly reading the section “2 Safety Precautions”.
• The product described in this manual has been designed and manufactured for use in general industrial
machinery, and must not be used for any other purpose. Oriental Motor Co., LTD. is not responsible for any
damage caused through failure to observe this warning.
1.2 Over View of the Product
The Motorized Slider SPR series models are unit products consisting of a high performance
micro-stepping driver and a stepping motor ( ) with a built-in rotor position sensor.
The SPR series models incorporating are not subject to missteps, even when the load changes
suddenly. The speed and amount of rotation are constantly monitored during operation. When an overload is
about to cause the motor to misstep, any delay in response is corrected and operation continues at maximum
torque.
In addition to the type equipped with an electromagnetic brake is also available, which is suitable for holding
the table in position during up or down movement in applications involving vertical travel.
Low-speed operation at low vibration levels
The Motorized Slider SPR series achieves smooth, low-speed operation with extremely low
vibration, thanks to micro-stepping drive, which enables stepping at minute angles.
Built-in alarm function
Whenever a load greatly exceeding the Motorized Slider rating is encountered, or when the table is
constrained during operation, the driver outputs a warning alarm.
In a vertical-travel application, the electromagnetic brake may be triggered upon the detection of this alarm to
prevent a moving section or the table from falling.
Selectable resolution
The resolution of the motorized slider can be switched between :
• The basic resolution.
• The ×10 resolution with the ×10 (resolution select) input.
The photosensor’s (accessory) installation positions can be changed
The motorized slider’s mechanical home position and limit positions can be set freely using the three
accessory photosensors.

2 Safety Precautions
The precautions described below are intended to prevent danger or injury to the user and other personnel
through safe, correct use of the product.
Warning
Handling the product without observing the instructions that accompany “ Warning”
may result in serious bodily injury or death.
Caution
Handling the product without observing the instructions that accompany “Caution”
may result in bodily injury or property damage.
Note The items under this heading contain important handling instructions that the user
should observe to ensure the safe use of the product.
Warning
General
• Do not use the product in explosive or corrosive environments, in the presence of flammable gases,
locations subjected to splashing water, or near combustibles. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock or
injury.
• Assign qualified personnel the task of installing, wiring, operating/controlling and/or inspecting and
troubleshooting the product. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock or injury.
• Do not transport, install the product, perform connections or inspections when the power is on. Always turn
the power off before carrying out these operations. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
• The terminals on the driver’s front panel marked with symbol indicate the presence of high
voltage. Do not touch these terminals while the power is on to avoid the risk of fire or electric shock.
• Provide a means to hold the moving parts in place for applications involving up/down travel. The
motorized slider loses holding ability when the power is shut off, allowing the moving parts to fall and
possibly causing injury or damage to equipment.
• Do not use the motorized slider’s built-in electromagnetic brake mechanism for stopping or safety purposes.
Using it for purposes other than holding the moving parts and motor in position may cause injury or
damage to equipment.
• When the driver-protection function is triggered, the motorized slider will stop and lose its holding ability,
possibly causing injury or damage to equipment.
• When the driver’s protection function is triggered, shut off the power immediately. Turn the power back on
only after removing the cause. Continuing the operation without removing the cause of the problem may
cause malfunction of the motorized slider, leading to injury or damage to equipment.
Installation
• Install the motorized slider and driver in their enclosures in order to prevent electric shock or injury.
• Install the motorized slider so as to avoid contact with hands, or ground it to prevent the risk of electric
shock.
Connection
• Keep the driver’s input-power voltage within the specified range to avoid fire and electric shock.
• Connect the cables securely according to the wiring diagram in order to prevent fire and electric shock.
• Do not tamper with the motor cable, sensor cable, or cable obtained separately. This may result in fire or
electric shock.
• To prevent electric shock, be sure to install the terminal cover (supplied) over the driver’s power-supply
terminals after making connections.

2 Safety Precautions
－7－
Operation
• Turn off the driver power in the event of a power failure, or the motorized slider will suddenly start when
the power is restored and may cause injury or damage to equipment.
• Do not turn the C. OFF (All Windings Off) input to “ON” while the motorized slider is operating. The
motorized slider will stop and lose its holding ability, which may result in injury or damage to equipment.
• If the driver’s OPERATION LED does not come on when the power is turned on, shut off the power
immediately. The neutral-side fuse may be burnt out while the live-side fuse is intact, posing a risk of
electric shock. For repair, contact the sales office from which you purchased the product.
Maintenance and Inspection
• Before working on the system, shut off the power to the driver and wait 10 seconds. Failure to do so may
result in electric shock.
Repair, Disassembly and Modification
• Do not disassemble or modify the motorized slider or driver. Refer all such internal inspections and repairs
to the sales office from which you purchased the product.
Caution
General
• Do not use the motorized slider and driver beyond their specifications, or electric shock, injury or damage
to equipment may result.
• Keep your fingers and objects out of the openings in the motorized slider and driver, or electric shock,
injury or damage to equipment may result.
• Do not touch the motor or driver during operation or immediately after stopping. The surfaces are hot and
may cause a burn.
Transportation
• Do not hold the motorized slider’s table, motor cable or sensor cable. This may cause injury.
Installation
• Keep the area around the motorized slider and driver free of combustible materials in order to prevent fire
or a burn.
• To prevent the risk of damage to equipment, leave nothing around the motorized slider and driver that
would obstruct ventilation.
• Provide a accessory cover on the motorized slider to prevent injury.
• Do not climb on or hang the motorized slider or driver. This may cause injury.
Operation
• Use a motorized slider and driver only in the specified combination. An incorrect combination may cause a
fire.
• To avoid injury, remain alert during operation so that the motorized slider can be stopped immediately in an
emergency.
• Before supplying power to the driver, turn all control inputs to the driver to “OFF”. Otherwise, the
motorized slider may start suddenly and cause injury or damage to equipment.
• To prevent bodily injury, do not touch the table of the motorized slider during operation.
• Before traveling the table of the motorized slider directly with the hands (as in the case of manual
positioning), confirm that the driver C.OFF (All Windings Off) input is “ON” to prevent injury.
• When an abnormality is noted, stop the operation immediately, or fire, electric shock or injury may occur.
Maintenance and Inspection
• To prevent the risk of electric shock, do not touch the terminals while measuring the insulation resistance or
conducting a voltage-resistance test.
Disposal
• When disposing of the motorized slider and driver as ordinary industrial waste.
