(2) Home return
When performing a home-return operation to the rotary, the rotary direction to home-return differs as
shown in the figures below due to the position where the shaft is when the home-return operation
starts.
1) If the shaft does not detect the sensor at the home-return start, it moves counterclockwise in the
view of the shaft tip ([1]), and it reverses if sensor is detected ([2]), and then stops when the Z-
phase is detected. (Refer to Figure 1.)
Figure 1
2) If the shaft detects the sensor at the home-return start (when the shaft is rotated over 300
degrees by hand at the servo off), it rotates clockwise from the stopped position ([3]), and stops
when the Z-phase is detected. (Refer to Figure 2.)
Figure 2
Operation range of the rotary is generally 300 degrees. However, in some cases it rotates 360
degrees as stated above.
Be careful of interference of the rotary to its surroundings.
