1.3 HANDLING A ROTOR (CAUTIONS)
WARNING
1 Mishandling a rotor may be highly dangerous,
resulting in a fatal accident. Read and thoroughly
understand these cautions and Part III,
"HANDLING, DESIGN, and INSTALLATION,"
before handling the rotor and strictly observe the
cautions when handling it. Do not handle the rotor
unless you have been trained in handling
synchronus built-in servo motors.
2 A rotor uses many very strong magnets. It may
cause a malfunction of a medical apparatus such
as a pacemaker or AICD. For this reason, any
person having a medical apparatus must keep
away from the rotor. Also arrange the environment
to keep any person having a medical apparatus
away from the rotor. Keep at least 30 cm away from
the rotor when it is absolutely necessary.
When a rotor is shipped from FANUC, it is packed so that the
magnets will not seriously affect outside. Do not remove the tin plates
and cushioning corrugated cardboard attached to the rotor until the
rotor is installed into a stator.
Keep any magnetic material (including a tool) away from the rotor. If
magnetic materials such as iron are brought near the rotor, the
magnetic materials may be pulled to the rotor with a force of about
2N/cm
2
, resulting in serious injury. In any case, always keep any
magnetic material away from the rotor and also be extremely careful
of magnetic materials around the work area.
The following items may be affected by magnetic fields, resulting in
damage or malfunction. When handling the rotor, do not carry any
item listed below (or another item which is not listed) with you and
keep the items away from the magnet fields unless it is necessary.
