3. Installation and Mechanical Details

Horizontal installation is standard; other installation postures require consultation.
Stop positions are mechanically limited at both ends.
Origin position can be changed but requires manufacturer adjustment.
Cable entry locations are customizable; changes require contacting the manufacturer due to parts variation.
Cable securing with tie-bands within 100 mm of unit end face is recommended to avoid excessive load.
Minimum cable bend radius is R30.
Installation hole specifications include spot facing and tapping hole options with recommended bolt lengths.

4. Controller Information and Operation

Compatible Controllers: SR1-X series, TS-X series, RDV-X series, RCX series
Operation Methods: Programming, I/O point tracing, remote command, RS-232C communication, pulse train control
Power Supply and Capacity: Controllers support 100V to 200V power supplies with power capacities ranging from 200W to 600W depending on model
Additional Features: Some controllers support regenerative units required for speeds exceeding 750 mm/sec
Communication Protocols: CC-Link, DeviceNet™, EtherNet/IP™, PROFINET, PROFIBUS
Position Detection: Supports both incremental and absolute specifications with backup functions for absolute positioning

5. Service Life and Performance Notes

Service life calculations are based on 1000 mm stroke models with a guide service life of 10,000 km.
Positioning repeatability is specified as ±0.01 mm in one direction.
Operating speeds above 750 mm/sec require a regenerative unit for energy recovery and system stability.

6. Ordering and Customization

Models can be ordered with various options including stroke length, cable length, cable entry location, origin position, and grease type.
Flexible cables are available as an option instead of standard cables.
Clean versions (GC) are available for applications requiring higher cleanliness standards.
Consultation is required for installation postures other than horizontal.

7. Critical Cautions and Recommendations

Do not install horizontal installation models in non-horizontal orientations.
Contact manufacturer when changing origin position or cable entry location due to necessary adjustments and parts variations.
Secure cables properly to prevent mechanical stress and damage.
Use recommended bolt lengths and installation methods to ensure mechanical integrity.

Summary Tables and Data

The document includes detailed dimension tables correlating effective stroke lengths with overall length, mounting hole positions, and weight for both GF14XL and GF17XL models. These tables assist in precise mechanical integration planning.

Static loading moments and allowable overhangs are specified to ensure mechanical safety and performance.

Conclusion

This technical document comprehensively covers the specifications, installation guidelines, controller compatibility, and operational parameters for advanced single-axis robot modules. It emphasizes precision, customization, and safety considerations essential for integration into automated systems.
