Installing the Flange Kit (Option)
The flange kit consists of a flange, fixing bolt (M5x16), and setscrew (M4x6). Install the
flange to the T-axis shaft according to the procedure below.
(1) Wipe off oil from the circumference of the T-axis shaft which the flange should be
fitted on.
(2) Loosen the setscrew of the flange so that the flange can be fitted on the T axis.
(3) Push the flange until it comes into contact with nut end "A," and then rotate the
flange so that the setscrew becomes aligned with the flat section of the T-axis shaft.
(4) Gradually tighten the setscrew until it comes into contact with the flat section of the
T-axis shaft and the flange can be rotated without looseness.
Then torque the setscrew to 1.6 ±0.3 Nm.
(5) Tighten the fixing bolt (M5x16) to 8.8 ±0.9 Nm for securing the flange.
