Precautions
Since welded ends tend to peel off in the tearing direction,
do not allow forces in the tearing direction to work on the
weldedends.
Please handle cables and tubes with care when wiring or
installing them inequipment.

When fixing thecable/tube,make sure to provide a
suitable amount of play.
Otherwise, the openable tube could tear, or the locking
part may open.
Do not fix the cable/tube inside the openable tube with a
cabletie.
Itcouldtear theopenabletube.
Refer to the table on the right for the cable/tube to be
installedintheopenable tube.
When multiple cables/tubes are to be installed, the
differenceinouter diametershouldbe 5mmorless.

The Flatveyormaytilt duetothe carling ofthecable/tube.
Cable/tube should be routed without twisting. Do not pull
the cable/tube out from the drum orcoil in a spiral pattern
because this will cause the cable/tube to be routed with a
twist.
■Use cables/tubes that areflexible, repeatedlybendable, durable, and slippery.
■For installationofcables/tubes, ensure that thecableweight is symmetrically distributedacross thewidthoftheFlatveyor.
■Please removeany inclusions on thefloororoperating areawherethe Flatveyorisinstalled, as theymay causedamage.
■Do not install any object on the inner side of the Flatveyor that may contact it.
■Periodically check that the locking part of the openable tube is not open, that there are no inclusions that could damage on
the floor or operating area where the Flatveyor is installed, and that the cable/tube is notpulled into the openable tube.
Ifany abnormality is foundduring the inspection,maintenanceshould beperformed.

Cable/tube installation
①Open the locking part from the end of the openable
tube.
②Installthe cable/tube inside the openable tube.
When installing multiple cables/tubes in one openable
tube, keep thecables/tubesaligned.
Storing with twist may cause premature wire breakage
duetoentanglementofcablesin the openabletube.
③To close the openable tube properly, make sure that
section A in the right figure of the locking part is
correctly overlapped and does not come outside of the
openable tube.
It is important that the section A is properly overlapped
around the cable/tube over the entire length of the
Flatveyor. If not properly overlapped, the locking part
couldopen.
④Tightenthe openable tube temporarily by hand and
close the locking part with closing toolfrom the end.
(Also closable by hand.)
Afterclosingthe lockingpart, ensurethat the
cable/tubedoesnotexertanyoutward force on the
endof lockingpart.Otherwise,thelocking partcould
open.
※Closingtoolisnotincluded.Please orderseparately.
⑤Make sure that the locking part is closed properly. If the
gap between the locking part is not uniform or if a
locking part opens, section A may not be overlapped
correctly.
Correctly overlap section A and close the locking part
again.

Installation procedure
Wheninstalling,mounttheclampinthepositionindicated inourdrawingor catalogs
①After inserting cable/tube and before fixing it to the
equipment, make sure that the locking part of the
openable tube is facing the outside and Flatveyor should
bebentas shownonthe right beforefixing
②Fix the fixed end and moving end in bent position to the
equipmentwithclamp.
③Make sure that the locking part of openable tube is
properly closed.
Close properlyifitis open.
④Fix each cable/tube near the exit of the openable tube
with a cable tie, etc. at both fixed end side and moving
end side, so that unnecessary tension is not applied on
it.
Fixing them under tension and operating could cause
the openable tube to tear.
⑤After fixing the fixed and moving ends, check that there
is no tilt in the bending section of the Flatveyor and that
the unsupportedlength is nottwisted.
Then, move the Flatveyor slowly and check that each
cable/tube is notpulled into the openable tube.
Also, check that there are no other abnormalities in
operation.
