Ceramics
■ Super stable
Ceramics maintain stability for a long time because
there is very little internal stress and no water ab-
sorption as compared with stone and cast iron. Also
provides high rigidity and wear resistance.
■ Energy saving
Great weight savings can be realized by the abundant use of ceramic with
low specific weight which is 50% that of cast iron for the moving parts, in-
cluding the machine structural material. The load on the motor is reduced,
which contributes to energy savings.
■ Accuracy
Maintains high insulatability which accurately transmits fine electric dis-
charge energy between the poles.

Consider the following items before selecting the installation location of the machine.
Machine Installation Environment
Required space Space indicated in layout drawing *4
Installation floor Location which can sufficiently support the machine weight or foundation construction is required.
Location where vibration and impact are not transmitted.
Recommended reference values: Vibration level of 0.1m/s2 (0.01G) and maximum amplitude of 1 μm or
less
Atmosphere Location without dust
Temperature, humidity environment Location with little temperature change; Recommended: About 20 ±1 ºC
Operating temperature range: 10 to 35 ºC
Location where direct sunlight, ventilation from air conditioners, and exhaust heat from oth-
er equipment does not directly contact the machine
Humidity: 30 to 75% (No condensation)
Measures against electromagnetic interference Shielded room may be required
Accompanied construction
■ Electrical construction
Power supply input specification 3-phase AC200V ±10% 50/60 Hz
Input cable 3-phase input and ground: 16 mm2 × 4 core (Booster power supply: 25mm2 × 4 core)
Breaker Breaker current: 50 A for standard power supply, 75 A for booster power supply:
Inverter circuit compatible, electric leakage sensitivity current: 100 mA to 200 mA
Grounding work Independent C-class grounding construction (10Ω or less grounding resistance)
Common grounding is possible only when there is almost no inflow of noise. In such a case,
connect the ground cable independently to the grounding pole.
In this case, connect the ground cable alone to the ground terminal.
■ Air pressure power source
Supply air pressure 0.5 MPa or more
Supply flow rate 30 NL/min (ANR) or more (Recommended air compressor output of 0.75 kW or more)
Air connection port Hoses from ø8 toø10 mm (Inner diameter), and hose bands (ø8 quick coupler provided)
