POINT
The unloader stops even if the molding machine is switched to <semi-automatic> or <Manual> which is
other than fully automatic when <automatic> signal of the modeling machine is input. However, the
unloader resumes automatic operation when the < full automatic > signal is given again from the
molding machine while the unloader is at the home position.
* Stop the unit at the position where trouble is not likely to occur (the vertical arm has ascended not
above the molding machine) when stopping for a long time.
- 63 -
CAUTION
• Automatic operation cannot be conducted unless the unit completes
returning to the home position after turning on the power.
• Mode setting is disabled in <AUTO> status.
• The point setting for the traverse axis can be changed only in 1 mm or 0.1
mm increments.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not operate the unit when power-related safety covers or parts thereof have
been removed, or when the high voltage terminals are exposed.
• Do not remove or alter the positions of the limit switched, dogs or interlock
mechanisms.
• Strictly observe the following restriction when operating the unloader.
Always stop the unloader using the correct procedure before performing these
operations.
" Do not adjust the machinery or parts while the unloader is in operation.
" Do not attempt to pick up dropped products or clean the unloader while it is
operating.
• Always stop the unloader and check that automatic operation has stopped before
removing packaged products.
• Check that there are no people or obstruction within the motion range of the
unloader before starting operations.
• If the unloader stops for any reason during operation, or has been stopped for
any reason, always clarify the cause and take appropriate measures to clear the
cause. Never restart operation until the cause has been identified and corrective
measures have been taken. Restarting operation when the cause has not been
identified is extremely dangerous.
• Do not touch the switches or keys with wet or soiled hands.
This can result in mis-operation of the unloader.
• Make sure you do not touch the switches unintentionally. Also, never lean on the
machine.
If the setting conditions of the unloader are changed, thoroughly check to see that
the data is correct before entering the automatic operation and start the unit after
checking each operation manually.
• If you become aware of even a slight abnormality during operation, immediately
stop the unloader and consult the supervisor.
• If the unloader has not been used for a long period of time, clean and lubricate
(grease) all contact surfaces (LM guide), then operate the unit for about 30 minutes.

Safety Precautions
! Maintenance Operations
DANGER
• To prevent other people from mistakenly turning on the power or
touching the operation box during maintenance operations, place
a sign saying "Maintenance in Progress: Do not Touch the
Operation Box or Controller." in a conspicuous location.
Always cut the control box breaker during maintenance.
• Be sure to turn off the power switch of the control box during
maintenance. When conducting maintenance of the inside of the
control box particularly, interrupt the primary power supply to the
plant and remove the power supply harness from the metal
connector box. Moreover, do not open the lid for several minutes
because there is residual voltage.
WARNING
• Do not remove or modify the overrun limit switch, the interlock limit
switch, the proximity switch or dog without obtaining permission
from this company.
Ignoring this warning may not only lead to miss-operation and
damage of the unloader, but also to major accidents resulting in
serious injury.
- 101 -
CAUTION
• Always wear a hard hat during maintenance operations.
• Use tools that conform the specifications for the operation and
unloader. In particular, to prevent accidents caused by slippage, use
spanners that are appropriate for the nuts and bolts and the usage
location.

! Finishing Operation
WARNING
• Stop all loader operations and cut the controller breaker before
cleaning the loader and its vicinity.
• If the unloader will not be used for a long period of time, remove
the interlock harness from the metal connector box and attach an
interlock jumper plug.
CAUTION
• Do not use an air-jet gun to clean the unloader. If dust or dirt
penetrates the precision processing and assembly section, it will
cause the quality of the unloader to deteriorate.
Use a soft, clean cloth to gently clean the precision processing
and assembly section.
• Exercise caution since the motor and solenoid remain hot for
some time after the power has been turned off.

Safety Precautions
$ Safety precautions concerning installation
(1) Be sure to install a no-fuse breaker on the power source. Also be sure to ground the earth terminal.
(For prevention of electric shock and malfunction, class 3 grounding (earth resistance of 100 Ω or less)
or higher is recommended.
(2) Install the product on non-combustible material such as metal.
(3) Use the specified combination of the motor and the servo amplifier.
(4) Perform wiring correctly and securely. Insecure or incorrect wiring may cause runaway or burnout of the
motor.
(5) Check that the input power supply voltage conforms to the specifications of the servo amplifier and then
turn on the power to start operation.
Exceeding the rated voltage may cause ignition or smoking in the servo amplifier and also, in some
cases, may cause runaway or burnout of the motor.
(6) Install an external emergency stop circuit outside so that the operation can be stopped immediately and
the power can be interrupted in the case of emergency.
(7) Avoid absolutely storage and use in a location where vibration (0.60 or more) or impact is applied or the
product is exposed to dust, metal powder, water, oil or grinding fluid, near combustible material, or in
ambient atmosphere of corrosive gas or inflammable gas.
(8) When storing, avoid direct sunlight and store the product at a temperature and humidity that conform to
the specified range.
(9) Be careful about heat dissipation.
The servo amplifier generates heat during motor operation. If it is used in a sealed control box, the
temperature in the control box may rise unusually. Review cooling so that the ambient temperature of
the servo amplifier conforms to the specified range.
(10) Do not install the product near a heating unit such as heater and large wire-wound resistor.
(Provide a thermal shielding plate to avoid influence of heating unit.)
