1. Foreword
Thank you for purchasing the ROBO Cylinder Actuator.
This actuator adopts a new mechanism called “Magnet Coupling” that connects the ball screw nut and
slider by means of magnetic force to transmit thrust. This allows the ball screw to be completely sealed,
which in turn ensures the actuator’s high dust-proof and splash-proof performance.
Caution:
•
Never perform push-motion operation, as it will cause the magnetic coupling to
lose alignment due to the structure of this actuator.
•
When transporting and storing the actuator, handle it in a horizontal position.
(Refer to page 4 for details.)
•
As a rule, the actuator is designed only for be horizontal applications. Do not
install it vertically. (Refer to page 6 for details.)
This manual explains the correct handling, structure, maintenance and other important information
regarding this actuator. Before using your actuator, be sure to read this manual to understand the correct
use. Keep this manual so that you can review the relevant sections when necessary.
Also peruse the operating manual for your controller for additional information regarding the actuator
operation.
2. Safety
Precautions
2.1 Basic
Operating
Instructions
•
Please do not attempt to use or operate the actuator in any manner not indicated in this manual or the
controller manual.
•
Please be sure to use only the cable provided by IAI to connect the actuator and controller.
•
Please do not allow people within the moving range of the unit when it is in operation or when the
power is ON since this is dangerous.
2.2 Maintenance
and
Inspection
•
When doing maintenance and inspection work, always shut down the controller power first.
•
When doing inspection, make sure that no one can inadvertently turn the power ON.
•
Make sure that a sign indicating work in progress is clearly visible.
•
If several persons are working, be sure to watch out for each other's safety. In particular, check before
turning power ON or OFF and let others know if you are doing work involving axis movement.
Caution:
•
The content of this manual is subject to change without notice for the purpose of
improvement.
