[2] Handling of the 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. Sliders 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
x 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.
x An operator should never attempt to carry a heavy package on their own. Also, use an appropriate
way for transportation.
x 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.
x Do not apply an impact on the package or let it bounce when putting it down.
x Do not step or sit on the package.
x Do not put any load that may cause a deformation or breakage of the package.
(2) Handling after Unpackaged
x Secure the sliders to prevent sudden movement during transport.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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 the Robot Mounted on Mechanical Equipment (System)
The following are the cautions for when transporting the actuators installed in the machinery equipment
(system) in the whole system.
x Affix the slider so they would not move while transporting.
x 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.
x 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.
