(3) Precautions for mounting
Caution
1) Do not dent, scratch or cause other damage to thebody, table and end plate mounting
surfaces.This may cause unevenness in the mounting surface, play in the guide or an increase in
the sliding resistance.
2) Do not dent, scratch or cause other damage to the surface over which the rail and guide will
move. This may cause play or an increase in the sliding resistance.
3) Do not apply strong impact or an excessive moment while mounting a workpiece. If an external
force over the allowable moment is applied, it may cause play in the guide or an increase in the
sliding resistance.
4) Select the proper connection with the load which has external support and/or guide mechanism
on the outside, and align it properly.
5) Do not attach magnets to the rail and guide unit. Since the rail and guide are made of a magnetic
substance, it could become magnetized if touched by a magnet etc. This could cause auto switch
malfunction.
6) When mounting the product and a jig, tighten it with screws of appropriate length at an
appropriate torque. Tightening with a torque above the specified torque can cause malfunction,
while insufficient tightening can cause slippage and dropping.
(4) Precautions
1. For Transfer
Caution
If the operating speed is increased after setting the operating conditions such as overhang and
operating speed, the stopping impact force will increase which causes an excessive moment to be
generated; this will lead to the failure of the guide. Do not increase the operating speed after setting
the operating conditions.
If the adjusting screw of the speed controller is loosened, the operating speed will increase, so the
screw should be tightened completely.
