4-1 Cable carrier type
A cable carrier is mounted as a standard between the X and Y axes. When using
three axes, a cable carrier is also provided between the Y and Z axes. Lay the
wiring and piping to the tool using these ducts. A 0.3sq 10-core flexible cable is
wired from the X-axis wiring box to the final axis' wiring box, and can be used
freely. (Refer to the "User wiring specifications" at the end of this section for
details.) The wiring and piping methods for a 2-axis arm type are explained be-
low as an example.
