4. Setting the Home Position
[1] The Principle of the Homing Operation
The actuator performs homing in the following manner:
1) The moving direction is determined by the parameters set by the homing command.
2) It detects the mechanical end with the software in the home return operation.
3)
The slider reverses direction when this end is reached and the place where the Z phase signal
is detected becomes the reference point.
4) The slider travels further by an offset amount defined by the parameters and this position
becomes home.
(* The number of motor revolutions after the actuator hits the stopper until the Z-phase signal is
generated is already adjusted before the shipment.)
[2] Attaching Alignment Marks
x Use this mark by means of affixing to the product as the guide for the origin direction of the actuator,
as occasion demands.
[Use Examples]
1) Affixing it as the guide for the homing direction of the actuator
Affix it on to the slider.
Affix it on to the home side
of the base.
