Caution in Handling 

1.  Handling of Robot 

Pay attention to the followings when carrying an actuator by itself. 

 

(1)  Handling of the Packed Product 

 

Do not damage or drop. The package is not applied with any special treatment that enables it to resist an 

impact caused by a drop or crash. 

 

An operator should never attempt to carry a heavy package on their own. Also, use an appropriate way for 

transportation. 

 

If the shipping box is to be left standing, it should be in a horizontal position. Follow the instruction if there is 

any for the packaging condition. 

 

Do not step or sit on the package. 

 

Do not put any load that may cause a deformation or breakage of the package. 

 

(2) Handling after Unpackaged 

 

Do not carry the actuator by holding the cable, or do not move it by pulling the cable. 

 

Hold the body base when transporting the actuator. 

 

Do not hit or drop the product while carrying. 

 

Do not give any excessive force to any of the sections in the actuator. 

 

2.  Handling of Multi-Axes Type 

This is the case that this product is delivered with other actuators being combined. Multi-axes type will be 
delivered in a package with an outer case fixed to a wooden base. Tables are fixed so they would not accidently 
move while in transportation. The end of the actuator is also fixed to avoid it swinging by external vibration. 

 

(1)  Handling of the Packed Product 

 

Do not damage or drop. The package is not applied with any special treatment that enables it to resist an 

impact caused by a drop or crash. 

 

An operator should never attempt to carry a heavy package on their own. Also, use an appropriate way for 

transportation. 

 

When suspending the package using ropes, pass the ropes from underneath the reinforcement frames at 

the bottom of the base. When lifting with a forklift, also place the forks underneath the base. 

 

Do not apply an impact on the package or let it bounce when putting it down. 

 

Do not step or sit on the package. 

 

Do not put any load that may cause a deformation or breakage of the package. 

 

(2)  Handling after Unpackaged 

 

Secure the tables to prevent sudden movement during transport. 

 

Appropriately fix the tip of the actuators if it is overhanging so it would not widely shake with external 

vibration. If the actuator assembly is transported without the ends being secured, do not apply an impact of 
0.3G or more. 

 

In the case that the actuator needs to be carried up with ropes or another method, be sure to use an 

appropriate cushioning to avoid the robot being deformed or put on an excessive pressure. And also, be 
sure to keep the robot in a stable and horizontal posture. Make a tool to utilize the attachment holes and 
tapped holes on the actuator and attach it if necessary. 

 

Do not attempt to apply load to the actuator or connector box. Also, avoid the cables being pinched or 

caused an excessive deformation. 

 

3.  Handling of Robot Mounted on Mechanical Equipment (System) 

Followings are the cautions for when transporting the actuators installed in the machinery equipment (system) in 
the whole system. 

 

Affix the table so they would not move while transporting. 

 

If any end of the actuator is overhanging, secure it properly to avoid significant movement due to external 

vibration. If the actuator assembly is transported without the ends being secured, do not apply an impact of 
0.3G or more. 

 

Do not attempt to apply load to actuators or connector box when hanging the machinery equipment 

(system) with tools such as a rope. Also, avoid the cables being pinched or caused an excessive 
deformation. 

 

Installation and Storage • Preservation Environment 

1. Installation Environment 

Do not use this product in the following environment. 
Also make sure to keep enough work space necessary for maintenance. 

 

Location exposed to radiant heat from a huge heat source such as the heat treatment 

 

Location where the surrounding air temperature exceeds the range of 0 to 40

 °

 

Location where condensation occurs due to abrupt temperature changes 

 

Location where relative humidity exceeds 85%RH 

 

The product gains the water-proof performance of IP65 protection structure if an air purge is conducted.   

 

Location exposed to direct sunlight 

 

Location exposed to corrosive gases or combustible gases 

 

Location exposed to significant amount of dust, salt or iron powder (Outside of ordinary assembly plant) 

 

Location where oil (includes oil mist and cutting fluid) or chemical is splashed 

 

Location where the product main body receives vibration or hit impact 

When using the product in any of the locations specified below, provide a sufficient shield. 

 

Place subject to electrostatic noise 

 

Location where exposed to the influence of strong electric or magnetic field 

 

Location where exposed to the influence of ultraviolet or radiant rays 

 

2.  Storage • Preservation Environment 

The storage and preservation environment should comply with the same standards as those for the installation 
environment. In particular, when the machine is to be stored for a long time, pay close attention to environmental 
conditions so that no dew condensation forms. 
Unless specially specified, moisture absorbency protection is not included in the package when the machine is 
delivered. In the case that the machine is to be stored and preserved in an environment where dew condensation 
is anticipated, take the condensation preventive measures from outside of the entire package, or directly after 
opening the package. 
For storage and preservation temperature, the machine withstands temperatures up to 60

 °

C for a short time, but 

in the case of the storage and preservation period of 1 month or more, control the temperature to 50

 °

C or less. 

 
Storage and preservation should be performed in the horizontal condition. In the case it is stored in the packaged 
condition, follow the posture instruction if any displayed on the package.
