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. The wiring and piping methods for a 2-axis arm type are explained below as an example.

4-1-1 Example of wiring and piping methods using cable carrier

1) Remove the four M4 small screws and open the X-axis wiring box cover.

2)Rubber grommets are attached to the end face of X-axis wiring box.

Open holes (or notches) in these grommets, and pass the required cables and air tubes, etc., through.
