4.11 Tool Connection
{ Tools are connected to the SAN controller using two cables. One cable connects to the Torque
Transducer preamp and the other is a combination Motor / Resolver Cable. The preamp cable is
separated from the Motor / Resolver cable to reduce the possibility of high voltage noise interference.
{ Each cable is labeled with a corresponding spindle number and should be connected to the corre-
sponding SAN Controller and Tool.
{ Cables should be tie wrapped to the motor as shown below. Cable ties should be loose enough to
allow the cable to move, but yet hold it in place. Cable ties too tight cause a stress point leading to
premature cable failure.
WARNING: Use cylinder cushions or shock absorbers to decelerate the tool head motions and
prevent excessive (hard stop) vibration, especially in short cycle time applications operating
at high speeds. Repeated shock (over time) could damage a tool.
WARNING: Do not make motor connections with the power on. Turn off all controller power
before attempting to connect or disconnect any motor cables or tool damage may occur.
