3 INSTALLATION AND DIMENSION
3.1 Environmental Requirements
The design of the cabinet to house the CNC unit, the keyboard panel and the LCD
display is the responsibility of the machine tool builder. The cabinet must be
constructed and the unit installed in an environment satisfying the following
conditions.
• Ambient Temperature
When operating: 0
o
C to 45
o
C.
When storing or transporting the system: -20
o
C to 55
o
C.
• Temperature Variation
Maximum: 1.1
o
C/minute.
• Humidity
Normally: 80% RH or less (Relative Humidity).
For short period: maximum 95% RH.
• Vibration
When operating: <= 0.075 mm with frequency 5 HZ.
• Noise
When operating: withstand 2000V/100 nsec pulse width every 10 msec.
• Consult us when installing the system in an environment with high degree of
dust, coolant, or organic solution.
3.2 Cabinet Considerations
Pay attention to the following items when designing a cabinet.
• The cabinet must be constructed to house the CNC unit, MDI panel and is
always a completely enclosed box.
• Temperature rise within the cabinet should be 10
o
C or less than the ambient
temperature.
• Sealing of the cable inlet/outlet or doors must be done thoroughly.
• To avoid the noise interference, various units, the connecting cable and the AC
power source must be mounted at least 100 mm apart. In a magnetic field
environment, this distance should be increased to at least 300 mm.
• When mounting the servo amplifier, please refer to the Servo Motor Manual.
