8. Return to origin
8.1 Return to origin
After entering the setting data, it is necessary to perform a return to origin operation before starting the
positioning or pushing operation. (To ensure the position of origin)
* The return to origin direction is dependent on the actuator.
 Return to origin operation
The actuator moves in the return to origin direction (* this direction is dependent on the actuator) from
the initial position at the moment of power-on: See (1) in the diagram below.
When the actuator reaches the end of travel limit it pauses for a short time. The controller recognizes
the position as the end of travel limit of the actuator. Then, the actuator moves at a low speed in the
direction opposite to the return to origin direction: See (2) in the diagram below.
