WARNING

Always turn off the controller before wiring and piping to prevent electri- cal shocks.

4-1 Cable carrier type

A cable carrier is mounted as a standard between the X and Y axes. When using 3-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 below as an example.

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

1)Open the X-axis wiring box cover. (Refer to 2-3. Wiring methods in Chapter 2. Protective Connections.)

2)Remove the harness retainer located at the cable carrier outlet. (Hexagon socket bolt M5, 2 bolts)

3)Pass the cables and air tubes through the cable carrier. The cable carrier has an outer lid that can be opened and closed easily. Use a flat-tip screwdriver to open the lid. Press this lid in to close it. Open and close this lid as necessary.
