2. Handling the Actuator Assembly
Pay attention to the following instructions when transporting the assembled actuator axes.
2.1 When Shipped Pre-assembled from IAI
The specified machine assembly has been assembled by IAI, subjected to shipping test, and then packed
inside a frame driven by nails onto a base of square timbers.
If the combined actuator unit is of slider type, the slider is secured during packaging so that it will not move
accidentally during transport. In the case of a combined unit, the actuator ends are secured to prevent
swinging due to external vibration.
 The package is not designed with special considerations for protection against impact due to dropping or
collision. Handle the package with care. Also, do not place any heavy object on the outer frame, as it is
not strong enough to withstand loads.
 When suspending the package using belts, etc., support it by the reinforced frame at the bottom of the
base of square timbers. Also when lifting the package using a forklift, insert the forks below the base of
square timbers.
 When unloading the package, do so without applying any impact.
2.2 Handling the Unpacked Actuator
When transporting an unpacked machine that has been shipped pre-assembled from IAI, observe the
following handling precautions:
 Secure each slider to prevent unexpected movement during transportation.
 If any actuator end is protruding, secure it to prevent swinging due to external vibration. If the actuator
ends are not secured, do not apply any impact force exceeding 0.3 G during transportation.
 When suspending the actuator-assembled peripheral equipment using belts, etc., make sure the belts do
not contact the actuators directly.
 Pass the belts over appropriate cushion materials, and make sure the loads from the belts will be
received by the base of each actuator.
 Secure the end of the Y-axis using a separate belt to maintain the axis in a stable horizontal position. At
this time, be careful not to apply loads on the screw cover.
 Be careful not to allow the brackets, covers and connector box of each actuator to receive loads.
Also protect the cables from pinching or excessive deformation.
3. Handling after Assembly with Peripheral Equipment
The precautions in 2, "Handling the Unpacked Actuator" also apply when the actuator has been assembled
at your facility and transported in the assembled state. Handle the actuator according to the specified
precautions.
