4-1 Cable carrier type

A cable carrier is mounted as a standard between the X and Y axes. When 3rd- axis are used, a cable carrier is also provided between the Y and Z axes, and when using 4th-axis, a cable carrier is also provided between the Z and R 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.
