2. Inspection on receipt of product

When you receive a NX driver series product, check and inspect it as follows:

Check/inspection item Remarks [1] Is the product what you have ordered? Check it with the “Model” shown on the labels of the tool unit

and the controller. (Refer to the table in previous clause.) [2] Does the output shaft of the tool unit rotate

smoothly? It’s OK if you can rotate it lightly with your hand.

[3] Is there any broken part? Check for any damage caused during transportation etc. by viewing its appearance.

[4] Is there any tightened part, such as a screw, that comes loose?

Make a check with a tool, such as a wrench, as necessary.

If you find any problem mentioned above, contact the agent you have purchased from or our sales office immediately.

3. Handling precautions

(1) Don’t give a shock to the motor in the tool unit. Otherwise, a failure may occur. (2) Don’t pull a cable (encoder, motor power supply) of the tool unit. Otherwise, it may be broken. Be

sure to fix the cable when installing the tool unit. (3) Don’t give a strong shock to or place a load on the output shaft of the tool unit. Otherwise, a failure

may occur. (Allowable loads are as follows.)

(4) The tool unit is designed to be used indoors. Use it under the following environment. (The motor section supports IP55 (with some exception))

Indoor environment free from corrosive and explosive gas

Well-ventilated and free from dust and humidity

Ambient temperature range: 0−40°C

Humidity range: 20-80%RH without condensation

Environment enabling easy inspection and cleaning

Locations free from strong electric or magnetic field

Locations in which atmosphere is free from conductive powders including iron powder

Locations free from excessive vibration or impact

① Radial load

②Thrust load

① Allowable radial load 200 N ② Allowable thrust load 900 N

7

4. Cable connection

Connect a motor cable, an encoder cable, and a sensor cable to the tool unit as shown in the drawing below. (For connection at the controller, refer to a separate document “Driver controller SD550T Instruction manual ”.) Be sure to connect the motor cable first, and then connect the encoder cable. Fix each connector with 2 M2 pan head machine screws (supplied with the connector). Tighten the screws securely to a torque of 0.15 N·m and confirm the connector is not loose. Since each connector uses packing, don’t lose it when attaching/detaching the connector.

(1) Be sure to connect a motor cable first, and then connect an encoder cable. (2) When fixing a cable, be sure to hold the connector. (3) Wiring must be designed so that connectors are free from bending or excessive force. (4) Bending radius of the motor cable should be not less than 50 mm. (5) Prevent the binding band and the cable etc. from applying an external force to the encoder cover.

Otherwise, the encoder may fail. (6) The NX driver is of the single shaft control type. When using it for some shafts, avoid wrong

wiring of cables between the tool unit and controller. Wrong wiring may cause damage to works due to faulty control or burn of the motor.

5. Flange (optional) compatible with previous models(NX020T2~NX180T2)

The mounting flange of the NX driver T2 series is made smaller than that of previous NX driver TU series to increase flexibility in installation. For this reason, the mounting pitch is different from that of previous models. If previous pitch is required for mounting, attach the optional BU specification flange compatible with previous models. In this case, the distance between the output shaft end and the flange, and the hole diameter are the same as those of previous models.

NX***T2: Standard specification

OP: BU specification (with previous model-compatible flange)

6. Parameter setting

The parameters referred to here are the setting values indicating the characteristics of the tool unit. The parameters vary depending on the combination of a tool and a controller. In case of the conventional TU series parameter change was required when tool unit or controller was replaced. But for NX driver T2 series do not need to change parameter because it automatically updated to optimal value when connected. Please confirm the parameter as per following table when the driver does not work correctly. If the value were different please contact to our sales agent from whom you purchased the machine or contact to our branch immediately.

7. Torque and output shaft revolution speed settings

Normally, the torque setting is configured to the specification of customers. However, you may change the setting as necessary. The NX driver features the basic screw tightening comprising two processes, "Initial tightening" and "Final tightening". For the final tightening torque setup, use the target tightening torque. (It is recommended selecting rotating speed in the range of 10 to 50 rpm as the rotating speed at the final tightening.) Perform setup of torque and rotating speed at the "Initial tightening" so that the temporary tightening torque does not exceed the final tightening torque, referring to the graph shown below. (For the setup of torque, refer to the separate volume "Instruction Manual for Driver Controller Model SD550T".)

Graph: "Relationship between output shaft rotating speed and impact torque" (It is mainly used for the setup of torque*1 and rotating speed*2 at the initial tightening.)

*1: Tightening time can be reduced by decreasing the setup torque at the initial tightening and increasing the motor speed. Note that excessive decrease in the setup torque may lead to change to the torque at the final tightening (second process) while tightening has not been completed yet (before the screw head comes into contact with the work surface), and the tightening time may be lengthened.

*2: Excessive increase in the rotating speed at the initial tightening may cause tightening torque exceeding the target torque because of the property of the driver output shaft (inertia), by which the driver output shaft keeps being rotated.

The next page explains how to read graphs and shows graphs by tool unit model.

Caution (1): Set the revolution speed of the output shaft of a tool unit to 5 rpm or higher. Caution (2): The comparison table and graph are for your reference. Use the values as rough standard Caution (3): Perform the setup so that the impact torque does not exceed the maximum value within the

setup torque range of the tool unit. Otherwise, works or the tool unit may be damaged.

[Remarks] Impact torque: A momentary torque generated (due to inertia) to keep rotating the shaft

when the rotating output shaft of a NX driver tool unit is stopped suddenly

12

♦ Usage of graphs (Example) When the target torque is 1.2 N-m (tool unit model: NX020T2-07*1-20):

The initial tightening torque (impact torque) must not exceed the final tightening torque. When the

initial tightening torque is 1.0 N-m, the setup toque and the output shaft rotating speed for the initial tightening can be identified by finding the intersection of the horizontal dotted line from the longitudinal axis of impact torque at 1.0 N-m and the curve indicating "Relationship between output shaft rotating speed and impact torque".

(1) When the setup torque is 0.9 N-m, the output shaft rotating speed should be 200 rpm. (2) When the setup torque is 0.7 N-m, the output shaft rotating speed should be 380 rpm. (3) When the setup torque is 0.5 N-m, the output shaft rotating speed should be 480 rpm.

Setting procedure At first, the NX series drivers perform temporary fastening (from fastening start to seating) at a high speed. Next, the drivers perform final fastening at a low speed. By so doing, the XY drivers balance a fastening speed and torque accuracy. For this reason, the most important point to decrease a tact time is to increase the revolution speed as much as possible for initial rundown. [1] Setting torque during initial rundown/ Revolution speed

First, set a torque during initial rundown. For machine screws, the torque range lower limit of a tool unit is specified normally. For screws requiring higher torque, such as tapping screws, specify as low a torque as possible to the extent that stable seating can be achieved. The revolution speed during initial rundown should be as high as possible. However, if it is specified too high, a target torque for final fastening is exceeded due to the inertia of the rotation system, spoiling correct fastening.

For example, assume that you tighten a machine screw using the NX020T2-07*1-20 and the final target torque is 1.2 N·m.

Set the set a torque during initial rundown to 0.5N·m because almost no torque is required for initial rundown until seating is achieved. Stable fastening can’t be expected unless the impact torque at seating due to inertia is limited to 80−90% of a target torque for final fastening. Since a target torque is 1.2 N·m in this example, the impact torque to 1.0 N·m (85%) is decided to be allowed. From the graph, you can read that it is 480 rpm that generates an impact torque of 1.0 N·m when the set a torque is set to 0.5N·m. Therefore, set the revolution speed during initial rundown to 480 rpm. (The value varies depending on workpiece, screw, and output shaft shape etc.)

[2] Setting final fastening set a torque/ Revolution speed

From the graph, set a final fastening set a torque to 1.2N·m because the final fastening target torque is 1.2 N·m. Set up " Revolving speed in final fastening" for Torque measuring tightening within 5～10 rpm and for Torque control tightening within 30～50 rpm.

Setting values

Torque during initial rundown 0.5N·m Revolving speed during initial rundown 480 rpm

Torque for final fastening 1.2N·m Revolving speed for final fastening 10 rpm

[3] Trial fastening・Adjustment

After configuring the SD550T controller to satisfy the above conditions, perform trial fastening using a torque checker etc. If the torque is stable, setting up is completed. Or, you may make an adjustment to increase temporary fastening revolution speed within a range in which torque is stable. If the torque is not stable, the fastening revolution speed may be too high. If you have specified a value higher than 5～10 rpm for final fastening revolution speed, try decreasing it. If no improvement is seen, the impact torque at seating due to a low revolution speed during initial rundown may be the cause of the problem. Try decreasing the revolution speed during initial rundown.

14

Example:NX020T2-07*1-20

This setting method is an example. The setting values vary depending on screw type, workpiece, fastening direction, and output shaft shape etc. Graphs of various models are shown on the next pages onward. The data is acquired with actual output shaft assumed and a weight (inertia moment I = 2.5 × 10−5 kg·m2) attached.

Relation between Output shaft revolution speed and Impact torque Hexagon bolt + PW (Thick washer) M3 × 10

Weight + Bit shaft inertia moment: I = 13.145 × 10−6 kg·m2

An impact torque of 1.0 N·m is produced when a torque during initial rundown is 0.5N·m at 480 rpm. So, don’t exceed 480 rpm for revolution speed during initial rundown setting.
