Important Information about Delivery regarding Earthquake in Japan

2011-03-14T10:03:57Z

I'm most grateful for your thoughtfulness.

Fortunately, the damage in Tokyo was not so heavy, and all staff in our company was safe.
We returned to normal business from today.

The productivity of our factory is around 50 percent to normal efficiency, because of blacked out in a planned and consistent way, the damage on the nuclear power plants, and instability of internet.

We will try hard not to cause you trouble, but the delivery delay is to be expected due to the shortage of electrical power and gas.

]]> ///P.S.///

Tohoku coastal area in Japan, about 500km, was flattened by this earthquake and Tsunami.
10m bank height had no power to the huge forces of nature.

It has been for three days since we got the first damage, there are still so many people who apply for relief.
The full scale of the disaster may not be known for a while.
It is said that about 20,000 people died or missing and feared dead.

We hope as many lives may be saved, and pray for the victims and their families of the disaster.

Tool setter Connection Procedure (H4D Type)

2009-04-20T12:04:05Z

H4D Type

The following provides an explanation of the procedure for connecting and disconnecting the H4D type installed on products manufactured by the OKUMA Corporation and so forth.

]]> [Disconnection]

(1)
First, find the sensor relay connector. It is located inside the arm or just behind the arm joint. (2)
Turn the fastening ring () on the machine side counter-clockwise to remove it.

Connection can be made if a fastening ring is not attached to the relay connector of the machine you are using. (3)
After removing the fastening ring, slowly pull the connectors straight apart while holding onto the rough surface portions of the connectors. [Connection]

(4)
Compare the connector of the new sensor and the connector on the machine side and check that the pins and holes match.
Contact us immediately if they do not match.

Although the type shown here is of the 4-pin type, 2-pin and 5-pin types are also available. (5)
Align the connectors so that the small holes serving as alignment references lie in the same plane, and then push the connectors straight together.

Since the small holes are not precisely aligned along the same line, they should only be used as a reference for aligning the pins and holes. (6)
The connection procedure is completed with the above step if there is no fastening ring attached to the connector. If there is a fastening ring, securely turn the fastening ring and tighten in position.

Failure to make a reliable connection can cause defective insulation between the cores, reduced accuracy due to shorting or defective signals.

Tool setter Connection Procedure (H4A Type)

2009-04-20T11:34:47Z

H4A Type

The following provides an explanation of the procedure for connecting and disconnecting the H4A type installed on products manufactured by the MAZAK Group and so forth.

]]> [Disconnection]

(1)
First, find the sensor relay connector. It is located inside the arm or just behind the arm joint. (2)
Slowly turn the locking ring () in the counter-clockwise direction so that the small projection () is positioned vertically. (3)
Slowly pull the connectors apart while holding onto the rough surface portions of the connectors.
Then pull the locking ring towards the back of the connector.
This allows you to make the subsequent connection more reliably. [Connection]

(4)
Compare the connector of the new sensor and the connect or on the machine side and check that the pins and holes match.
Contact us immediately if they do not match.

Although the type shown here is of the 2-pin type, 4-pin and 5-pin types are also available. (5)
Slowly engage both connectors so that their colored portions (previous illustration) are aligned. (6)
Next, push the connectors together so that the groove of the locking ring aligns with the small projection, and then firmly turn in the clockwise direction to complete the connection procedure.

Failure to make a reliable connection can cause defective insulation between the cores, reduced accuracy due to shorting or defective signals.
