2-1 Guidance
This chapter describes the parameter setting for a motorized actuator (hereinafter referred to as rack and pinion
motor) that the LJ linear head and the AZ Series motor are combined.
STEP 1 Install the rack and pinion motor. Refer to the LJ Linear Head OPERATING MANUAL
for how to assemble a linear head and a motor.

STEP 2 Connect the driver.

STEP 3 Start the support software MEXE02.

STEP 4 Set the parameters of the driver. (P.4) The setting le having input the recommended
parameters is available.

STEP 5 Set the software limit when no sensor is
used.

STEP 6 Check the movement of the rack and pinion

The following two methods are available to change the moving direction of the rack. Use them selectively in
accordance with the intended use.
•To change the travel amount.
•To change the “Motor rotation direction“ parameter.
When changing the travel amount
When assembling the LJ linear head and the AZ Series motor (factory shipment), the moving direction of the rack is

3 Operation
3-1 Absolute positioning operation
The motor of the AZ Series manages the absolute position by the ABZO sensor.
The ABZO sensor stores the present position as the absolute position until the number of rotations of the motor
output shaft exceeds 1,800 revolutions (±900 revolutions) with reference to the home. Within this range, it keeps the
present position even if the driver power is turned o.
Before starting absolute positioning operation, be sure to set the home.
Setting the home
When replacing the linear head or motor, set the home again after replacement.
1. Select “Teaching, remote operation“ using the MEXE02 software.
2. Click “Teaching, remote operation.“
3. Using the JOG operation switches, move the rack to the home. Adjust the position while checking the“Command
position (CPOS)“ in the“Driver Status“ eld.

4. Click “Position Preset“. The home is set.
Checking the movable distance
Check the movable distance by the MEXE02 software or actual measurement.
Check by MEXE02 software
Using the JOG operation switches, move the rack from the home.
Check the “Feedback position“ in the “Driver Status“ eld.
Check by actual measurement
Using the JOG operation switches, move the rack to a desired position.
Measure the distance from the end face of the rack to the rack bushing.

3-2 Return-to-home
Return-to-home is operation that the reference position (home) to be the starting point is established when
positioning operation is performed.
Return-to-home operation is performed to return to the home from the present position when the power supply is
turned on or positioning operation is completed.
Two types of return-to-home methods are available. One is high-speed return-to-home operation, and the other is
return-to-home operation.
High-speed return-to-home operation
High-speed return-to-home operation is operation to return to the mechanical home on the absolute coordinates set
in advance. Since the home is recognized by the ABZO sensor, return-to-home operation can be executed at the same
speed as that of the normal positioning operation without using an external sensor.
When the ZHOME input is turned ON, high-speed return-to-home operation is started. The rack and pinion motor
stops when the operation stop signal is turned ON while the motor is operating.

Return-to-home operation
Return-to-home operation is operation to detect the home using an external sensor.
There are four types of return-to-home operations shown below.
Operation mode Features
2-sensor mode
•Two sensors are required externally.
•The operating speed is at a low rate (starting speed of return-to-home).
3-sensor mode
•Three sensors are required externally.
•The operating speed is at a high rate (starting speed of return-to-home).
One-way rotation mode
•One sensor is required externally.
•The operating speed is at a high rate (starting speed of return-to-home).
•Not reversed.
Push-motion mode
•An external sensor is not required.
•The operating speed is at a high rate (operating speed of return-to-home).

Push-motion mode
CAUTION
When return-to-home operation is performed in the push-motion mode, provide an
external mechanism that the rack presses against within the range of the stroke. Pressing
against exceeding the range of the stroke may result in injury or damage to equipment.
Movement
1. When push-motion return-to-home
operation is performed, the rack
moves to a mechanism.

2. The rack presses against the
mechanism.

Push force
Set the push force of push-motion return-to-home operation as a percentage of the rated current.

•Set the operating current in order not to exceed the maximum push force. Performing push-motion
operation with the current exceeding the maximum push force may cause damage to equipment or
deterioration of specications.
•Perform push-motion operation on an extension of the rack. Performing push-motion operation in a
position deviated from the extension of the rack may cause damage to the rack and pinion motor.
Reference: Measurement result of the operating current and push force
This section shows the reference value of the push force when the LJ linear head (AGL5H18-) is combined with
the AZ Series TS geared type motor.
•The relationship between the operating current and push force varies depending on your load
conditions such as jig. Refer to the graph to check the actual push force using the equipment, and
adjust the operating current.
•If the rack and pinion motor is used in a vertical direction, the actual transportable mass is a value
obtained by subtracting the mass of the rack from the specication value.
