7. Operation <Practical Steps>
z Speed change during movement
If the load is made of soft material or is a bottle or otherwise topples easily due to its shape, one of the following
two methods can be used to prevent the load from receiving vibration or impact when it stops:
[1] Reduce the deceleration to make the deceleration curve gradual.
[2] Initially move the actuator at the rated speed, and reduce the feed speed immediately before the target
position.
Method [2], where the feed speed is reduced, is explained below.
(Example) Move the actuator from the rear end to the front end by using the intermediate point as a dummy
point, where the feed speed is set to 300 mm/s until the intermediate point and then reduced to 20
mm/s after passing the intermediate point.

Operation timings
PLC processing 1: Turn OFF the rear end move command signal (ST0) and the front end move command signal
(ST1), and turn ON the intermediate point move command signal (ST2).
Operation:
[1] The actuator starts moving toward the intermediate point.
[2] When the current position reaches 270 mm, the intermediate point detected output (LS2)
turns ON.
PLC processing 2: Turn OFF the intermediate point move command signal (ST2) and turn ON the front end
move command signal (ST1).
[3] The actuator decelerates from 300 mm/s to 20 mm/s and stops at the front end.
Caution: By setting a wide positioning band for the intermediate point, smooth speed change can
be implemented without requiring the actuator to stop temporarily at the intermediate
point.
