(7) Range:
- The “positioning operation” and “push operation” have different meanings.
Positioning operation:
It defines the distance to the target position from a position at which the position
complete signal turns ON.
The default value is 0.1 mm.
However, it defines the width of the position complete signal for the 3-point type of
PCON-C/CG, ACON-C/CG, and SCON and the proximity switch type of PCON-CY and
ACON-CY.
3-point type and proximity switch type
Standard type
Push operation:
It defines the maximum push amount from the target position in the push
operation.
Set the positioning width in such a way as to prevent positioning completion
before the actuator contacts work by considering mechanical variations of
work.
Since increasing the positioning width value
hastens the next sequence operation, it
becomes a factor for tact time reduction. Set
the optimum value by considering the
balance of the entire equipment.
