No Return-to-Home Sensor Required

Because it is an absolute system, no home sensor is necessary.

Reduced Costs

Sensor and wiring costs can be reduced, leading to overall lower system costs.

Not Affected by Sensor Malfunctions

There is no concern about sensor malfunction, sensor failure, or sensor wire disconnection.

Improved Return-to-Home Accuracy

Return-to-home is carried out without any concern over variation in home sensor detection, which can improve home accuracy.

*If no limit sensor is installed, driver software limits are used to prevent operation when a limit is exceeded.

Easy Home Setting

By pressing the switch on the driver surface, home position can be set simply, and the home position can be saved with the sensor. Furthermore, it is possible to set the home position using the data setting software (MEXE02) or the external input signal.

High-Speed Return-to-Home

Since return-to-home is possible without the use of a home sensor, return-to-home is carried out at high speed without any concern over sensor sensitivity, which can shorten the machine cycle.

Return-to-Home Not Required

The position information s retained even if the power shuts off during positioning. Furthermore, if the built-in controller type is being used, positioning is restarted without return-to-home when the power is restored after a power outage or an emergency top on the production line.

Battery-Free

The sensor is mechanical, thus it doesn't require a battery. Since position information is mechanically managed by the absolute sensor, positioning information can be retained even if there is a power outage or the cable between the motor and driver is disconnected.

Reduced Maintenance

Because there is no battery that needs replacement, maintenance time and costs can be reduced.

Unlimited Driver Installation Possibilities

Because there is no need to secure space for battery replacement, there are no restrictions on the installation location of the driver, improving the flexibility and freedom of the layout design of the control box.

Safe for Long Distance Shipping

Ordinary batteries self-discharge, thus caution is required for long-term transportation, such as overseas shipping. The motor sensor is battery-free, thus there are no restrictions on the retention of positioning information. This also means that there are no concerns about shipping regulations for batteries when exporting.

Position Retention Even if the Cable Between the Motor and Driver is Disconnected

Positioning Information is retained in the motor sensor.

Short-Cut Operation Reduces Takt Time

This is an operation method that drives the equipment in the rotation direction, providing the shortest distance to the target position that has been set. It can reduce the amount of takt time for the equipment.

Easy Control by Setting No-Entrance Areas

If there are dangerous or damaging items on the equipment, it is possible to set an area into which the output table cannot be moved.

Reduced Equipment Setup Time

The parameters necessary to operate the hollow rotary actuator are set at the time of shipment, which contributes to reduce equipment setup time.

• Home Position
• Resolution Setting (0.01°/step)
• Output Table Rotation Direction Setting
• Round Setting ±180°

All of the initial settings can be changed.
