7.2 Handling the Actuator Assembly
When transporting the actuator with its axes already assembled, take note of the following items.
7.2.1 Shipping from IAI Already Assembled
After assembly at IAI, your machine undergoes a shipping inspection, is packed in a crate with skids, and
finally shipped.
If any of the combined actuators is a slider, the slider is securely fastened in place to prevent unexpected
movement during shipping. Combined units have the ends of their actuators fastened so as to prevent
them from moving significantly due to external vibration.
The crate is not designed to withstand dropping or collision. Please handle it carefully. It is also not
built to have items stacked on it, so please avoid placing heavy objects on top of the crate.
When lifting the package using belts or the like, be sure to pass the belts around the reinforcement
frames under the skids. The same applies for lifting the package with a forklift; please ensure that the
forks are placed under the skids.
When setting the package down, do not let the package receive an impact upon contacting the floor.
7.2.2 Handling After Unpacking
Please adhere to the following instructions when handling the assembled unit, whether it was shipped pre-
assembled at IAI or assembled on your site.
Secure the slider so that it does not move unexpectedly during transport.
If the end of the actuator is protruding, fasten it down properly so that it does not move significantly due
to external vibration. When transporting the assembly without the ends of the actuators fastened, do
not subject the assembly to an impact of 0.3 G or more.
When using belts or the like to lift an assembly consisting of an actuator and peripheral equipment,
make sure the belts are not passed around the actuator itself or otherwise do not touch the actuator.
Make sure the belts support the actuator load by its base by using appropriate cushioning materials.
Lift the end of the Y-axis with a separate belt, ensuring that the assembly remains level. At this time,
also make sure the load is not placed on the screw cover.
Make sure the load is not placed on the brackets, covers, or connector box.
Also make sure the cables are not pinched or deformed excessively.
7.3 Handling after Assembly with Peripheral Equipment
When the machine assembled at IAI is transported as an assembly, also follow the handling precautions
in 5.2.2, “Handling after Unpacking.”
