Chapter Overview of the FHA-C mini series Chapter Overview of the FHA-C mini series FHA-C mini series servo actuators provide high torque and highly accurate rotary motion. The actuator is composed of a Harmonic Drive component from set (size 8-4) for precise motion control and a super-flat AC servomotor. The first feature of the FHA-C mini series actuators is their unprecedented super-flat shape. The body width is less than half of our previous models. The second feature is a through-hole in the center of the shaft, through which electric cables, air pipes, and even laser beams can be passed to supply power and signals to moving parts. The HA-8 series and the HA-68 series are dedicated servo drivers for the FHA-C mini series actuator to control its position and speed. The small and intelligent driver controls the FHA-C mini series actuators with great accuracy and reliability. FHA-C mini series actuators play an important role for driving various factory automation (FA) equipment; such as robot joints, alignment mechanisms for semiconductor and LCD equipment, ATC of machine tools, printing machine roller, etc. - Features Super-flat configuration FHA-C mini series actuator is the union of Harmonic Drive gearing with a super-flat AC servomotor for precise motion control. The compact size allows smaller machines to be designed. Hollow Shaft* The center through-hole shaft allows for the insertion of electric cables, air pipes, or laser beams through the actuator to supply power and signals to moving parts. This feature will simplify the driven machine. High torque FHA-C mini series actuator outputs have a much higher torque per volume than direct drive motors thanks to Harmonic Drive gearing. Furthermore, FHA-C mini series actuators have a higher rating than our previous models. High positioning accuracy FHA-C mini series actuators provide superior positioning accuracy. They achieve positioning accuracy of 9 arc seconds (typically, FHA-4C-) as well as an encoder resolution of 8, pulses per output revolution. High torsion stiffness FHA-C mini series actuators provide great torsion stiffness featuring shortens positioning time and decreases the vibration during servo-lock stop. Incremental or Absolute encoder An incremental or multi-turn absolute encoder is integrated to provide high resolution velocity and position feedback *Incremental encoder only. FHA-C mini 4

Chapter Overview of the FHA-C mini series -7 One-way positioning accuracy The one-way positioning accuracy means the maximum positional difference between a commanded theoretical position and its actual angular positon for serial positioning in one revolution when approached from the same direction. (refer to JIS B-6-987.) The one-way positioning accuracy of FHA-C mini actuators is almost equal to the angular positioning accuracy of the Harmonic Drive gearing, because the effect on the positioning error of the built-in motor is reducted to its 3: or 5: or : by the gearing. The one-way positioning accuracy is shown in the table below: Item One-way positioning accuracy Model FHA-8C FHA-C FHA-4C -3-5 - -3-5 - -3-5 - arc second 5 9 9 9 9 Angle offset function for a horizontally installed actuator The drivers for FHA-C mini series actuators (FHA-8C/C/4C) provide an angle offset function to improve angular positioning accuracy of a horizontally installed actuator. The function offsets against a position error by a pre-analyzed positioning error of the Harmonic Drive components to improve a one-way positioning accuracy by around 3% better than an accuracy without the angle offset function. For fluctuant load, test and examine whether the function is effective before applying it. Refer to the driver manual. -8 Encoder resolution The motors of FHA-C mini actuators are equipped with an incremental encoder of resolutions. Because the motor rotation is reduced to 3: or 5: or : by the Harmonic Drive component, the resolution of the output flange is 3 or 5 or times the encoder revolution. Additionally, the incremental encoder signal is used in quadrature. The following high resolutions are obtained: Positional difference Commanded position Start position Actual position Incremental encoder FHA-8C Model FHA-C Item FHA-4C -3-5 - Encoder resolution, (8, pulse/rev: quadruplicate) Reduction ratio 3 5 Detector resolution (quadruplicate) Pulse/rev 4, 4, 8, Resolvable angle per pulse (approximate value) Sec. 5.4 3.4.6 Absolute encoder FHA-8C Model FHA-C Item FHA-4C -3-5 - Encoder resolution 7 (3,7 pulse/rev) Reduction ratio 3 5 Detector resolution (quadruplicate) Pulse/rev 3,93,6 6,553,6 3,7, Resolvable angle per pulse (approximate value) Sec.

Chapter Overview of the FHA-C mini series -9 Torsional Stiffness of actuators -9- Moment stiffness The moment stiffness refers to the torsional stiffness when a moment load is applied to the output flange of the actuator (shown in the figure to the right). For example, when a load is applied to the end of an arm attached on the output flange, the face of the output flange tilts in proportion to the moment load. The moment stiffness is expressed as the torsional moment/angle. Obliquity Load Item Moment stiffness Model FHA-8C FHA-C FHA-4C N m/rad x 4 4 x 4 8 x 4 kgf m/rad. x 4.4 x 4.8 x 4 kgf m/arc min.59..4 CAUTION Do not apply torque, load or thrust to the sleeve directly. Since the sleeve is adhered to the output flange, the adhered sleeve may be detached from the output flange by the abnormal torque or load. Sleeve Output flange FHA-C mini 5

Chapter Overview of the FHA-C mini series -9- Torsional stiffness When a torque is applied to the output flange of the actuator with the motor locked, the resulting torsional wind up is near proportional to the torque. The upper right figure shows the torsional stiffness characteristics of the output flange applying torque starting from zero to plus side [+T] and minus side [ T]. This trajectory is called torque-torsion characteristics which typically follows a loop A B A B A as illustrated. The torsional stiffness of the FHA-C mini actuator is expressed by the slope of the curve that is a spring rate (wind-up) (unit: N m/rad). The torsional stiffness may be evaluated by dividing torque-torsion characteristics curve into three major regions. The spring rate of each region is expressed K, K, and K3 respectively. B K: spring rate for torque region -T K: spring rate for torque region T-T K3: spring rate for torque region over T The wind-up for each region is expressed as follows: T wind-up for torque region -T: θ = T < K T wind-up for torque region T-T: θ = θ T < T < T wind-up for torque region over T: θ3 = θ T < T + T T K + T T K 3 θ: Wind up The table below shows T-T3, K-K3, and θ-θ values of each actuator.

Because of this there are minimal effects of variable load inertias to the servo drive system. In comparison to direct servo systems this benefit will drive the load with a better servo response. For example, assume that the load inertia increases to N-times during its motion (for example, robot arms). The effect of the variable load inertia to the [total inertia converted into motor shaft] is as follows: The symbols in the formulas are: J S : total inertia converted into motor shaft J M : moment inertia of motor R: reduction ratio of FHA actuator Direct drive Before: JS=JM(+L) After: JS =JM(+NL) Ratio: FHA-C mini actuator drive L: Ratio of load inertia to motor inertia N: variation ratio of load inertia JS /JS=+NL +L Before: After: Ratio: In the case of the FHA-C mini actuator drive, as the reduction ratio is [R=3], [R=5], or [R=] and the square of the reduction ratio [R =9], [R =5], or [R =] the denominator and the numerator of the ratio are almost []. Then the ratio is [F ]. This means that FHA drive systems are hardly affected by the load inertia variation. Therefore, it is not necessary to take the load inertia variation in consideration for selecting an FHA-C mini actuator or for setting up the HA-8 or HA-68 driver. FHA-mini 7

Chapter Guidelines for sizing -4 Duty cycles When a duty cycle includes many frequent start and stop operations, the actuator generates heat by high starting and braking current. Therefore, it is necessary to study the duty cycle profile. The study is as follows: -4- Actuator speed Calculate the required actuator speed (r/min) to drive the load.

Chapter Guidelines for sizing -4-5 Calculating equivalent duty The load conditions, which is torque, speed, moment of inertia, acceleration/deceleration time, loading time, are limited by the actuator to drive the load. To select the proper actuator, the equivalent duty of the load should be calculated. The %ED (percent equivalent duty) is: N Speed ta tr td ts Time KLa ta + KLr tr + KLd td %ED = t where, ta: acceleration time in second td: deceleration time in second tr: driving time in second t: single cycle time in second KLa: duty factor for acceleration time KLr: duty factor for driving time KLd: duty factor for deceleration time Torque T a Ta, Tr, Td: output torque t: duty cycle Tr Td Time Example : getting duty factors of KLa, KLr and KLd With an example of the duty factor graph for FHA-C-5 actuator, the way of getting the duty factors of KLa, KLr and KLd is descrived as follow: The load conditons are same as the example described in the example: the inertia load is accelerated by the maximum torque, and is driven with a constant speed, and is decelerated by the maximum torque. The displacement angle is degrees and the cycle time is.8 s. () KLa, and KLd:: the speed is desided at 5 r/min as the average of and r/min. Then, KLa = KLd =.7 from the graph. () KLr: as the inertia load, Tr. Then KLr.9 from the graph. (3) The driving time is calculated as the area of the trapezoid of speed-time graph. Then the displacement angle is: = (N / 6) x {tr + (ta + td) / } x 36 Then, tr = / (6 x N) (ta + td) / Substituting deg. for,.7(s) for ta,.46(s) for td, r/min for N, the driving time is: tr = / (6 x ) (.7 +.48) / =.4(s) (4) Because the cycle time is.8(s), the %ED is obtained as follows: %ED = (.7 x.7 +.9 x.4 +.7 x.48) /.8 x = 4.% It is possible to drive the actuator with the load specifications continuously, because the %ED is less than %.

() Effective torque From the parameters of Ta =Td =8.3 N m,tr = N m, ta=.7 s, tr=.4 s, td=.46 s, t=.8 s, As the value of Tm (3.N m) ecceeds its allowable continuous torque (.9N m), it is impossible to drive the actuator continuously on the duty cycle. The following equation is introduced by converting the equation for effective torque. The limitted time for one duty cycle can be obtained by substituting the continuous torque for the T m of the following equation. Ta ta + td + Tr tr t = Tm Substituting 8.3 N m for Ta, 8.3 for Td, N m for Tr,.9 N m for T m,.7 s for ta,.4 s for tr, and.46 s for td : 8.3 = t Namely, when the time for one duty cycle is set more than 3.4 s, the effective torque [Tm] becomes less than.9 N m, and the actuator can drive the load with lower torque than the continuous torque continuously.
