POINT

Important matters that should be understood for operation of this machine are indicated as a POINT in this

manual.

For Safe Use

1. Electric shock prevention

Do not open the front cover while the power is ON or during operation. Failure to observe this could lead to

electric shocks.

Do not operate the unit with the front cover removed. The high voltage terminals and charged sections will

be exposed, and can cause electric shocks.

Do not remove the front cover and connector even when the power is OFF unless carrying out wiring work

or periodic inspections. The inside of the units is charged, and can cause electric shocks.

Since the high voltage is supplied to the main circuit connector while the power is ON or during operation,

do not touch the main circuit connector with an adjustment screwdriver or the pen tip. Failure to observe

this could lead to electric shocks.

Wait at least 15 minutes after turning the power OFF, confirm that the CHARGE lamp has gone out, and

check the voltage between P and N terminals with a tester, etc., before starting wiring, maintenance or

inspections. Failure to observe this could lead to electric shocks.

Ground the unit and motor. For the motor, ground it via the drive unit.

Wiring, maintenance and inspection work must be done by a qualified technician.

Wire the servo drive unit and servo motor after installation. Failure to observe this could lead to electric

shocks.

Do not touch the switches with wet hands. Failure to observe this could lead to electric shocks.

Do not damage, apply forcible stress, place heavy items on the cables or get them caught. Failure to

observe this could lead to electric shocks.

Always insulate the power terminal connection section. Failure to observe this could lead to electric

shocks.

After assembling the built-in IPM spindle motor, if the rotor is rotated by hand etc., voltage occurs between

the terminals of lead. Take care not to get electric shocks.

WARNING

2. Injury prevention

When handling a motor, perform operations in safe clothing.

In the system where the optical communication with CNC is executed, do not see directly the light

generated from CN1A/CN1B connector of drive unit or the end of cable. When the light gets into eye, you

may feel something is wrong for eye.

(The light source of optical communication corresponds to class1 defined in JISC6802 or IEC60825-1.)

The linear servo motor, direct-drive motor and built-in IPM spindle motor uses permanent magnets in the

rotor, so observe the following precautions.

(1)Handling

• The linear servo motor, direct-drive motor and built-in IPM spindle motor could adversely affect medical

electronics such as pacemakers, etc., therefore, do not approach the rotor.

• Do not place magnetic materials as iron.

• When a magnetic material as iron is placed, take safety measure not to pinch fingers or hands due to the

magnetic attraction force.

• Remove metal items such as watch, piercing jewelry, necklace, etc.

• Do not place portable items that could malfunction or fail due to the influence of the magnetic force.

• When the rotor is not securely fixed to the machine or device, do not leave it unattended but store it in the

package properly.

• When installing the motor to the machine, take it out from the package one by one, and then install it.

• It is highly dangerous to lay out the motor or magnetic plates together on the table or pallet, therefore never

do so.

(2)Transportation and storage

• Correctly store the rotor in the package to transport and store.

• During transportation and storage, draw people's attention by applying a notice saying "Strong magnet-

Handle with care" to the package or storage shelf.

• Do not use a damaged package.

(3)Installation

• Take special care not to pinch fingers, etc., when installing (and unpacking) the linear servo motor.

WARNING

1. Fire prevention

Install the units, motors and regenerative resistor on non-combustible material. Direct installation on

combustible material or near combustible materials could lead to fires.

Always install a circuit protector and contactor on the servo drive unit power input as explained in this

manual. Refer to this manual and select the correct circuit protector and contactor. An incorrect selection

could result in fire.

Shut off the power on the unit side if a fault occurs in the units. Fires could be caused if a large current

continues to flow.

When using a regenerative resistor, provide a sequence that shuts off the power with the regenerative

resistor's error signal. The regenerative resistor could abnormally overheat and cause a fire due to a fault

in the regenerative transistor, etc.

The battery unit could heat up, ignite or rupture if submerged in water, or if the poles are incorrectly wired.

Cut off the main circuit power with the contactor when an alarm or emergency stop occurs.

2. Injury prevention

Do not apply a voltage other than that specified in this manual, on each terminal. Failure to observe this

item could lead to ruptures or damage, etc.

Do not mistake the terminal connections. Failure to observe this item could lead to ruptures or damage,

etc.

Do not mistake the polarity (+,- ). Failure to observe this item could lead to ruptures or damage, etc.

Do not touch the radiation fin on unit back face, regenerative resistor or motor, etc., or place parts (cables,

etc.) while the power is turned ON or immediately after turning the power OFF. These parts may reach high

temperatures, and can cause burns or part damage.

Structure the cooling fan on the unit back face, etc., so that it cannot be touched after installation.

Touching the cooling fan during operation could lead to injuries.

Take care not to suck hair, clothes, etc. into the cooling fan.

CAUTION

3. Various precautions

Observe the following precautions. Incorrect handling of the unit could lead to faults, injuries and electric shocks, etc.

(1) Transportation and installation

Correctly transport the product according to its weight.

Use the motor's hanging bolts only when transporting the motor. Do not transport the machine when the

motor is installed on the machine.

Do not stack the products above the tolerable number.

Follow this manual and install the unit or motor in a place where the weight can be borne.

Do not get on top of or place heavy objects on the unit.

Do not hold the cables, axis or encoder when transporting the motor.

Do not hold the connected wires or cables when transporting the units.

Do not hold the front cover when transporting the unit. The unit could drop.

Always observe the installation directions of the units or motors.

Secure the specified distance between the units and control panel, or between the servo drive unit and

other devices.

Do not install or run a unit or motor that is damaged or missing parts.

Do not block the intake or exhaust ports of the motor provided with a cooling fan.

Do not let foreign objects enter the units or motors. In particular, if conductive objects such as screws or

metal chips, etc., or combustible materials such as oil enter, rupture or breakage could occur.

Provide adequate protection using a material such as connector for conduit to prevent screws, metallic

detritus, water and other conductive matter or oil and other combustible matter from entering the motor

through the power line lead-out port.

The units, motors and encoders are precision devices, so do not drop them or apply strong impacts to

them.

CAUTION

Store and use the units under the following environment conditions.

(Note 1) For details, confirm each unit or motor specifications in addition.

(Note 2) -15°C to 55°C for linear servo motor.

When disinfectants or insecticides must be used to treat wood packaging materials, always use methods

other than fumigation (for example, apply heat treatment at the minimum wood core temperature of 56 °C

for a minimum duration of 30 minutes (ISPM No. 15 (2009))).

If products such as units are directly fumigated or packed with fumigated wooden materials, halogen

substances (including fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine) contained in fumes may contribute to the

erosion of the capacitors.

When exporting the products, make sure to comply with the laws and regulations of each country.

Do not use the products in conjunction with any components that contain halogenated flame retardants

(bromine, etc). Failure to observe this may cause the erosion of the capacitors.

Securely fix the servo motor to the machine. Insufficient fixing could lead to the servo motor slipping off

during operation.

Always install the servo motor with reduction gear in the designated direction. Failure to do so could lead

to oil leaks.

Structure the rotary sections of the motor so that it can never be touched during operation. Install a cover,

etc., on the shaft.

When installing a coupling to a servo motor shaft end, do not apply an impact by hammering, etc. The

encoder could be damaged.

Do not apply a load exceeding the tolerable load onto the servo motor shaft. The shaft could break.

Store the motor in the package box.

When inserting the shaft into the built-in IPM spindle motor, do not heat the rotor higher than 130°C. The

magnet could be demagnetized, and the specifications characteristics will not be ensured.

Always use a nonmagnetic tool (explosion-proof beryllium copper alloy safety tool: NGK Insulators, etc.)

when installing the built-in IPM spindle motor, direct-drive motor and linear servo motor.

Always provide a mechanical stopper on the end of the linear servo motor's travel path.

If the unit has been stored for a long time, always check the operation before starting actual operation.

Please contact the Service Center, Service Station, Sales Office or delayer.

Install the heavy peripheral devices to the lower part in the panel and securely fix it not to be moved due to

vibration.
