CKD ABSODEX AX1022, Manual

Page: 14 / 104

Intro 13
When designing and manufacturing devices using direct drive actuator, the manufacturer has an obligation to manufacture
a safe device, and to check that the safety of the device's mechanical mechanism and the system operated by the electrical
control that controls the device is secured.
It is important to select, use, handle, and maintain the product appropriately to ensure that the CKD product is used safely.
Observe warnings and precautions to ensure device safety.
Check that device safety is ensured, and manufacture a safe device.
1 This product is designed and manufactured as a general industrial machine part. It must be handled by
an operator having sufficient knowledge and experience in handling.
2 Use this product in accordance of specifications.
This product must be used within its stated specifications. It must not be modified or machined.
This product is intended for use as a general-purpose industrial device or part. It is not intended for use outdoors or for
use under the following conditions or environment.
(Note that this product can be used when CKD is consulted prior to use and the customer consents to CKD product
specifications. The customer must provide safety measures to avoid risks in the event of problems.)
Use for special applications including nuclear energy, railway, aircraft, marine vessel, vehicle, medicinal devices,
devices coming into contact with beverages or foodstuffs, amusement devices, emergency cutoff circuits (cutoff,
open, etc.), press machines, press circuits, or safety devices.
Use for applications where life or assets could be adversely affected, and special safety measures are required.
3
Observe association standards and regulations, etc., to ensure safe device design.
4
Do not remove devices until safety is confirmed.
Inspect and service the machine and devices after confirming safety of the entire system related to this product.
Note that there may be hot or charged sections even after operation is stopped.
Before starting device inspection or maintenance, turn off device power and other power to related devices, release
compressed air, and check leakage current.
5 Observe the Instruction Manual and Precautions for each product to prevent accidents.
Do not rotate the actuator outputs shaft by 30 rpm or more while power is off.
The driver could fail or electrical shock result from actuator power generation.
If the servomotor is turned off (including emergency stop or alarm) or brakes are turned off while a rotational force,
such as gravity, is applied, the output shaft may rotate by rotational force.
Conduct these operations flat where rotational force is not applied, or confirm safety before starting.
Unexpected movement may occur during gain adjustment or test operation, so keep hands, etc., away from the
outputs shaft. When conducting operations with the actuator not visible, confirm before starting that it is safe even if
the outputs shaft turns.
The brakes of the type with brake do not necessarily hold the outputs shaft completely in all situations.
If safety must be ensured, such as in maintenance with an application that rotates the output shaft in unbalanced
mode, or when stopping the machine for a long time, it may not be sufficient to stop the shaft with brakes alone. Use
the system flat or provide a mechanical lock.
It may take several seconds to stop in an emergency, depending on rotation speed and load.
6 Observe the precautions to prevent electrical shock.
High voltage is supplied to the terminal block at the driver's front panel. Install the enclosed terminal cover before
operation. Do not touch the terminal block while power is on.
Even after the power is turned off, a high voltage is applied until the charge accumulated in the internal capacitor is
discharged. Wait at least five minutes after turning the power off before touching these sections.
In work with side cover off, such as for maintenance and inspection or changing driver switches, turn power off
because a risk of electrical shock from high voltage exists.
Do not connect or disconnect connectors while power is on. Disoperation, faults, or electrical shock may occur.
7
Before restarting a machine or system, check that measures are taken so that parts do not come off.
8
Observe precautions on the pages that follow to prevent accidents.
