(2) Work part was not contacted (missed)
If the actuator does not still contact the work part after having moved the distance specified in the “Positioning
band” field, the position complete signal will not turn ON.
Therefore, include timeout check processing in the sequence circuit on the PLC side.
x It is recommended that a zone signal be also used as a “simple ruler” to supplement the judgment of missed
work part.
(3) Work part moves during push & hold operation
[1] Work part moves in the pushed direction
If the work part moves in the pushed direction after completion of push action, the actuator will chase the
work part within the positioning band.
If the current drops to below the current-limiting value set in the “Push” field of the position table while the
actuator is moving, the position complete signal will turn OFF. The position complete signal will turn ON
when the current-limiting value increases to the specified level again.
[2] Work part moves in the opposite direction
(Actuator is pushed back by the strong reactive force of the work part)
If the actuator is pushed back after completion of push action because the reactive force of the work part is
greater than the thrust force of the actuator, the actuator will be pushed back until its push force balances
out with the reactive force of the work part.
The position complete signal will remain ON.
(Note) If the actuator is pushed back to the target position, an alarm will generate.
