8.4.1 Home Return Operation
[1] As the motor turns, the rod returns to the negative side (actuator frame side) and contacts the mechanical
stopper.
[2] The rod reverses and turns by rotating angle D to find the encoder Z-phase.
The distance from the mechanical stopper to the position
where Z-phase is detected is as follows.
Lead
2.5 mm
5 mm, 10 mm
Distance
1.7 mm
2 mm
[3] The rod turns by rotating angle E from the position where the Z-phase was detected, and the attained offset
position (the offset conform to an applicable parameter value) is set as the home (points zero).
