For details, refer to the specifications on page Linear encoder sensor head (Fixed side) Linear guide Permanent magnet Coil Rail Top mounting (Through hole) Structure and Working Principle Linear encoder scale (Moving side) Table The permanent magnet is mounted on the bottom side of the table, and the coil is mounted on the top surface of the rail. When current is supplied to the coil, a north pole (N) is generated in the middle of the top surface of the coil. This north pole attracts the south pole (S) of the permanent magnet on the left and repels the north pole on the right, and these attracting and repelling forces generate the thrust force. Therefore, thrust force is applied to the table in the right direction, and the table moves to the right. When current is applied to the coil in the reverse direction, a south pole will be generated in the middle of the top surface of the coil. Similarly, a thrust force will be applied to the table in the left direction, and the table moves to the left.

3 Start-up time is reduced greatly with a system that is ready-to-use and easy to set up. The functions described below makes the start-up quick and easy. Card Motor Series LAT3 Parallel Input/Output Status Check Function The status of the parallel input signals can be checked, or the parallel output signals can be activated manually using a PC. CN3 Parallel input/output signals CN5 PLC PC Built-in Operation Patterns Positioning Operation ( ) Speed Current position Positioning time Speed entry method Cycle time entry method Target position Absolute: The table moves to the target position with reference to the origin position and stops there. Relative : The table moves to the target position with reference to the current position and stops there. Controller Cycle Time Entry Method Only target position and positioning time need to be entered, so there is no need to enter the speed, acceleration and deceleration. (Using the speed entry method allows you to enter the speed, acceleration and deceleration.) Step Data Input The Card Motor operation type and condition are preset in the step data. The Card Motor is operated according to the contents of the selected preset step data number. Pushing Operation ( ) Speed Speed entry method Cycle time entry method Low speed Pushing Selection of operation type Operating condition Positioning time Target position Step data The table moves to a position close to the target position, decelerates to low speed and starts pushing after the table has come in contact with the workpiece. Function for measuring and differentiation of work pieces The size of the workpiece can be measured based on the table stopping position by driving the table until it comes into contact with the workpiece. The work pieces can be differentiated or checked for quality using parallel output signals that correspond to preset table position ranges. Furthermore, using the multi-counter (optional accessory: refer to page 32) A B makes it possible to display the table position and output up to 31 preset points. A B PLC 2

26 Series LATCA Step Data Setting Methods and Movement Profiles There are two methods for setting the step data in the Card Motor controller as described below. Cycle time entry method Speed entry method To operate the table based on the target position and positioning time, or to operate it at high frequency. The speed, acceleration and deceleration are calculated automatically after the target position and positioning time have been set. To operate the table at a constant speed. The table moves to the set target position based on the set speed, acceleration and deceleration. Cycle Time Entry Method (Positioning Operation) Setting items: Target position [mm] Positioning time [s] Calculate the positioning distance S [mm] between the start position and the target position. The table will move to the target position based on the set positioning time tp [s] according to a triangular movement profi le as shown in the diagram on the right. It is not necessary to enter the speed, acceleration and deceleration since they are calculated automatically by the Card Motor Controller Setting Software. Work load [g] Speed Vc Acceleration Aa Speed [mm/s] Positioning distance S Positioning time tp Time [s] The positioning time should be set longer than the shortest positioning time shown in Fig. 3 on page 7 with consideration to the work load during the operation. If there is overshoot or vibration, set the positioning time longer. Speed Entry Method (Positioning Operation) Setting items: Target position [mm] Speed [mm/s] Acceleration [mm/s 2 ] Deceleration [mm/s 2 ] Work load [g] Calculate the positioning distance S [mm] between the start position and the target position. The table will move to the target position based on the set speed Vc [mm/s], acceleration Aa [mm/s 2 ] and deceleration Ad [mm/s 2 ] according to a trapezoidal movement profi le as shown in the diagram on the right. Refer to the equations below for how to calculate the acceleration, constant velocity and deceleration times and distances. Acceleration time: ta = Vc / Aa [s] Deceleration time: td = Vc / Ad [s] Acceleration distance: Sa =.5 x Aa x ta 2 [mm] Deceleration distance: Sd =.5 x Ad x td 2 [mm] Distance with constant velocity: Sc = S Sa Sd [mm] Time with constant velocity: tc = Sc / Vc [s] Positioning time: tp = ta + tc + td [s] (Add settling time to the positioning time to obtain the real cycle time.) The settling time varies depending on the positioning distance and work load..15 seconds (.25 seconds for the work load of 5 g or more) at maximum can be used as a reference value. The acceleration and deceleration should be smaller than the maximum acceleration/deceleration with consideration to the work load during the operation as specified in the diagram on the right. Caution If the acceleration/deceleration is low, the table may not reach the set speed due to a triangular movement profile. Max. acceleration/deceleration [mm/s 2 ] Speed [mm/s] Acceleration Aa Speed Vc Positioning distance S Deceleration Ad ta tc td Time [s] tp 7 6 LAT3-1 5 LAT3-2 4 LAT3-3 3 LAT Work load [g] 25

27 Controller Series LATCA Cycle Time Entry The controller automatically calculates the speed, acceleration and deceleration after the user has entered how many seconds it should take for the Card Motor table to move to the target position.

After the table has come into contact with the workpiece the Card Motor presses the workpiece e. Speed Entry Method: The table moves based on the set acceleration, speed and deceleration according to a trapezoidal movement profile close to the target position q, and continues to move at low speed (6 mm/s) until it comes into contact with the workpiece w. After the table has come into contact with the workpiece the Card Motor presses the workpiece e.

Otherwise, the table may hit the workpiece at a speed exceeding the specified 6 mm/s pushing speed, which could damage the workpiece and Card Motor. The pushing force varies from the thrust setting value depending on the operating environment, pushing direction and table position. The thrust setting value is a nominal value. Calibrate the thrust setting value according to the application requirements. 27

30 Series LATCA Return to Origin The Card Motor uses an incremental type sensor (linear encoder) to detect the position of the table. Therefore it is necessary to return the table to the origin position after the power has been turned on. There are three [Return to Origin] methods as stated below. In any of the methods, the origin position () will be set at the connector side. When the table is moved away from the connector toward the opposite side, after the [Return to Origin] has been performed, the new position of the table is added in the controller (incremental positive direction). q Retracted end position (Connector side) wextended end position esensor origin The default origin position is set to the connector side [Retracted End Position]. The table is moved toward the connector side, returns.3 mm and the origin position () is set at.3 mm away from the mechanical end stop of the table at the connector side. After [Return to Origin] is completed, the table stops at the origin position. An external jig is used to stop the table of the Card Motor when the [Return to Origin] is performed. The table is moved to the opposite side of the connector, returns.3 mm and the origin position is set at.3 mm away from the mechanical end stop of the table at the opposite side of the connector. After [Return to Origin] is completed, the table stops at the maximum stroke end (A). This method is used to achieve high positioning repeatability accuracy of the origin position. Only the LAT3F-, which is equipped with a origin position signal (Z-pulse) in the sensor, can be used with this method. The origin position is set based on the Z-pulse from the integrated sensor (linear encoder). The table is moved to the Z-pulse of the integrated sensor, and the origin position of the table is set at a certain distance (J) away from the Z-pulse when the [Return to Origin] is performed. After [Return to Origin] is completed, the table stops at the sensor origin signal position. If the table is returned to the origin position by the mechanical end stopper installed in the Card Motor, the origin position will be set to the position shown below. Stroke: A Maximum stroke position Origin position Mechanical end stopper (Extended end) Mechanical end stopper (Retracted end).3.3 Table Opposite side of the connector Connector side Rail H J The stopping position of the table when returning to the origin position on the connector side The stopping position of the table when returning to the sensor origin position The stopping position of the table when returning to the origin position on the opposite side of the connector Model A H J Note) LAT LAT LAT LAT Note) Only for the LAT3F- 29 Caution The origin position varies depending on the return to origin position method. Adjust according to the specific equipment used with this product. If the return to origin position is performed using an external jig or workpiece to stop the table, the origin position may be set outside of the travel range. Do not set the target position of the step data outside of the Card Motor movable range. It may damage the workpieces and the Card Motor.
