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
motor.
Check the movement of the rack and pinion
motor with “Teaching, remote operation“ of the
MEXE02 software.

STEP 7 Save the set data.
•When the rack and pinion motor is used in combination with the pulse input type driver, do not
change the SW1-No.1 of the function setting switch on the driver (factory setting: OFF). If this
switch is set to ON, the resolution is xed to 10,000 P/R, and an unexpected movement may result.

•If the rack is operated in a vertical direction, an alarm of Overvoltage may be detected depending
on the driving condition. If an alarm of Overvoltage was generated, reconsider the operating
condition or use Oriental Motor’s regeneration resistor RGB100.
•To restore the driver to the factory setting, select “Restored to the factory setting“ under the
“Communication“ menu to initialize.
About the setting le for rack and pinion motor
The setting le that the recommended parameters were input in advance to operate the rack and pinion motor is
provided in the download page of the MEXE02 software. Download the setting le to use.
•The setting le is created based on the contents of this manual.

•Set the unit of the travel amount with“step“.
•When changing the acceleration/deceleration unit, also change the values set in the (JOG) Acceleration/
deceleration, (ZHOME) Acceleration/deceleration, and (HOME) Acceleration/deceleration parameters.
Only changing the unit will not change the setting values.
•Check the specications of the maximum speed to set the operating speed.
•If an alarm is detected, reconsider the operating condition or use Oriental Motor’s regeneration resistor
RGB100.
•Use equal to or less than the values shown in the table below for the acceleration/deceleration rate
when setting the electronic gears (0.01 mm/step).

2-3 Moving direction of rack
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
set as shown below. Changing the travel amount or the pulse input method can change the moving direction of the
rack.

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.
