(3) Velocity [mm/s] :
Set the velocity in the operation.
Refer to the following “Caution” when having a value above the maximum velocity.
Do not attempt to input a value below the minimum velocity
(Note 1)
.
Note 1 The minimum velocity differs depending on the type of the actuator. Refer to [9.4.1
Specifications for Actuators].
(4) Acceleration [G] :
Set the acceleration at start.
(5) Deceleration [G] :
Set the deceleration at stop.
Caution
● Set the velocity, acceleration and deceleration so that they do not exceed the rating
values described in the brochure or the instruction manual of the actuator. Failure to
follow this may cause the life of the actuator to be shortened extremely.
● If shocks and/or vibrations appear on the actuator and/or the work, lower the acceleration
and/or the deceleration. In such cases, do not continue the use of the actuator, otherwise the
product life may be shortened extremely fast.
● If the payload is extremely lighter than the rated payload, increase accel...,
acceleration/deceleration to larger than their rated values to shorten the tact time.
Check the specifications in the catalog or an instruction manual of the actuator.
● For the actuator of gripper type, set the velocity, acceleration and deceleration on the
single finger basis. Note that the relative velocity, acceleration and deceleration between
both the fingers are as twice as the setting values.
Reference
● How to set the acceleration is described below. The same idea can be applied to the
deceleration.
1G=9800mm/s
2
: Accelerated to 9800mm/s per second
0.3G: Accelerated to 9800mm/s × 0.3 = 2940mm/s per second
