Chapter 5 Collision Detection Feature
This controller is equipped with a feature to stop immediately when the actuator is hit on an
object during operation.
Understand this chapter well to avoid any trouble in operation and safety.
Collision detection feature is a feature that stops the operation by generating an alarm and
turning OFF the servo when the command current exceeds the set value. The range for
detection also can be set.
Warning: This feature is a supportive feature to reduce the damage to a work piece in
case of an emergency.
It does not mean to compensate in any unexpected damage.
The setup of this feature is necessary to be adjusted to an expected collision,
and the optimum value differs depending on the system. Well confirm the
status before use.
