RETURNING TO THE HOME POSITION
6. RETURNING TO THE HOME POSITION

Operations such as manual operation checking and return to home position for starting
automatic operation are carried out manually.
Home position return operations will differ depending on the position that the vertical arm is
stopped.
WARNING
Before starting this operation, make sure that there is no person or obstruction within
the moving zone of the unloader.
POINT
For the unloader with the absolute encoder specifications (optional specifications / Fx:
Standard specifications), the home position return operation at power on is not
required.
6-1. When the Vertical Arm is Inside of the Mold:

If an alarm occurs with the inner mold during automatic operations or if an emergency stop is
activated when the arm is inside the mold (with the extract-side end L1 at ON and with the
ascent end L3 and runner side ascent end L3S at OFF,) the extraction arm is moved outside
with free operation.
* It is possible to achieve home position return even when the arm is inside the mold as long
as home position operations have been completed when the power supply is switched on and
all axis positions (teaching for each axis) have been set.
1. The product vertical arm and runner side vertical arm are moved to locations where they
will not interfere with the mold with free operation.
2. The product vertical arm and runner side vertical arm are raised outside of the molder’s
mold with free operation.
* Refer to "13-5. Free Operation" for further details on free operation. Attain home position

6-3. Method of Home Position Setting for Absolute

For the absolute specifications, perform home position search with home position return
operation in the same way as the method of setting the home position with home position limit
for the increment specifications.
Once home position search is performed, home position return is performed at the speed that
conforms to the home position return speed. With the absolute specifications, however, the
current value is kept even if the power is turned off. Consequently, home position return is
performed at the speed that conforms to the home position return speed. If the vertical arm had
descended when the power was turned off, home position return is performed at a low speed for
safety until the vertical arm ascends.
* If the current value has a problem for motor replacement or the like and the value must be
changed, the current value can be cleared with the following procedure.
1. Press the [STROKE LIMIT] button on the menu

POINT PASS SETTING
12. POINT PASS SETTINGS
Sets the various action point path values for starting advance from arm descent midway, arm
ascent from return midway and arm descent from the product release position to traverse
midway, and traverse return during arm ascent midway from the position release position. (In
units of mm.)
POINT
The pass action starting position is set with a distance parameter, but it is executed within
the range of 0 to 90% of the operating distance. Furthermore, the range to be executed
changes in proportion to the operation speed. For this Pass action, set the following
parameters to 0.00 second: Product side extract descent - T1, Product side return - T5,
Runner extract descent - T37 and Runner side return - T40.
When the data change prohibition is set, the point pass setting cannot be changed. Refer to

Safety Precautions
Do not operate the unit when power-related safety covers or parts thereof have been
removed, or when the high voltage terminals are exposed.
Do not remove or alter the positions of the limit switched, dogs or interlock
mechanisms.
Strictly observe the following restriction when operating the unloader.
Always stop the unloader using the correct procedure before performing these
operations.
Do not adjust the machinery or parts while the unloader is in operation.
Do not attempt to pick up dropped products or clean the unloader while it is
operating.
Always stop the unloader and check that automatic operation has stopped before
removing packaged products.
Check that there are no people or obstruction within the moving zone of the unloader
before starting operations.
If the unloader stops for any reason during operation, or has been stopped for any
reason, always clarify the cause and take appropriate measures to clear the cause.
Never restart operation until the cause has been identified and corrective measures
have been taken. Restarting operation when the cause has not been identified is
extremely dangerous.
Do not touch the switches or keys with wet or soiled hands.
This can result in mis-operation of the unloader.
Do not operate the unit while service tools or measuring tools are lying on the
operation box.
Make sure you do not touch the switches unintentionally. Also, never lean on the
machine.
If a program has been changed, thoroughly check that the data is correct before
starting automatic operation and only start operation after checking all the operations
using manual operation mode.
If you become aware of even a slight abnormality during operation, immediately
stop the unloader and consult the supervisor.
If the unloader has not been used for a long period of time, clean and lubricate
(grease) all contact surfaces (LM guide), then operate the unit for about 30 minutes.
Also if a backup battery error alarm message is displayed on the screen after the
power is turned on, replace the backup battery on the main P. C. board.
For the absolute encoder specifications, batteries are also used for the servo drivers.
If the alarm message is displayed on the screen similarly, replace the backup
batteries mounted in the servo driver for each axis.
