Frequently Asked Questions - YXMR-2 Festo

What is the Festo YXMR-2?

The YXMR-2 is a three-dimensional gantry (Cartesian robot) used for positioning tasks in automation systems. It consists of an EXCM-40 XY module and a DHMZ-DGSL-16 or EHMZ-EGSL-45 Z module.

How do I demount the motors safely?

First, secure the motor against falling. Disconnect the motor and encoder cables. Unscrew the 4 retaining screws on each motor. For motors with brake, ensure the Y-axis and slide are at least 10 cm apart before loosening.

What are the tightening torques for motor retaining screws?

The torque depends on the frame: EXCM-30: 1.2 Nm, EXCM-40: 3.0 Nm, EXCH-40: 6.0 Nm, EXCH-60: 18.0 Nm. Tolerance is ±20% unless otherwise specified.

How do I adjust the motor cable outlet position?

Disconnect cables, unscrew the 4 retaining screws, rotate the motor in 90° steps, then tighten screws to the specified torque. For motors with brake, ensure at least 10 cm clearance for Y-axis movement.

Where can I find the technical data for my specific configuration?

Technical data is configuration-dependent. Download the data sheet and other documents from the Festo Support Portal (www.festo.com/sp) using the order ID found on the product label.

What is the intended use of this product?

The intended use is executing positioning tasks within machines or automation systems with a higher-order controller in an industrial environment. Do not use beyond specified limits.

What are the safety precautions before working on the product?

Always switch off the power supply and secure it against being switched on again. Wait at least one minute after power-off to allow residual voltage to drop below 60 V. Secure moving parts against falling.

Can I use third-party motors with the YXMR-2?

Yes, but ensure the driving torque does not exceed the approved maximum (see www.festo.com/catalogue). Use correct attachment dimensions and matching coupling, coupling housing, and motor flange.

How do I obtain spare parts or accessories?

Spare parts and accessories are available through the Festo catalogue at www.festo.com/catalogue. For technical issues, contact your regional Festo contact.

What should I do if the manual is not in my language?

On the manual page, you can request a translated version by selecting your language and providing your email. Festo will send you a specifically translated version.

5 Assembly

5.1 Demounting/mounting motors

DANGER

Serious injuries due to the motor falling from an elevated position.

- Demount motors with brake before assembling the product.

- Before loosening the retaining screws: secure the motor against falling.

WARNING

Electric shock.

- Make sure that the motors are disconnected from the power supply.

NOTICE

Third-party motors with a driving torque that is too high can damage the product. When using third-party motors observe the following:

• Maximum approved driving torque → www.festo.com/catalogue
- Attachment dimensions motor interface www.festo.com/catalogue
- Matching combination of coupling, coupling housing and motor flange

Motor attachment position bottom/top

1 Motor flange

3 Motor, example

2 Retaining screw, 4x

Demounting

1. Disconnect the connections of the motor cables and encoder cables from the motors.
2. Demount the 2 motors by unscrewing the 4 retaining screws on each motor.
3. Remove the motors.

EXCH-40 with motor only: also remove the motor flange.

With other variants: the motor flanges are attached separately, do not demount.

Mounting

1. For motors with brake:

Set or keep the Y-axis and the Y-axis slide at least 10 cm apart:

-Between Y-axis and drive cover or end cap

-Between Y-axis slide and X-axis

The Y-axis and the Y-axis slide must be movable in both directions for the subsequent insertion of the motors.

1. Mount the 2 motors with the motor flanges in reverse order of demounting.

Tightening torque EXCM-30	EXCM-40	EXCH-40	EXCH-60
Retaining screws [Nm] 1.2 3.0 6.0 18.0

With other variants: the motor flanges are attached separately.

1. Connect the motor cables and encoder cables to the motors.

5.2 Adjust motor cable outlets

DANGER

Serious injuries due to the motor falling from an elevated position.

- Before loosening the motor attachment screws: secure motor from falling down.

DANGER

Serious crushing by falling of the Y-axis.

The Y-axis is retained by the active motor brakes.

If the retaining screws are released on both motors, the Y-axis will no longer be retained and will drop.

- Unscrew the retaining screws on only one motor at a time.

WARNING

Electric shock.

- Disconnect the motor controller from the power supply if it is already connected.

Dangerous residual voltage even after the power supply is switched off.

- Wait at least one minute after switching off the power supply. Do not start work until the residual voltage has fallen below 60 V.

The position of the motor cable outlets on the planar surface gantry is factory-installed in the X-axis extension. If necessary, the position can be adapted to the installation situation by turning the motor in 90°-steps.

2 Retaining screw, 4x

3 Motor cable outlets for motor cable and encoder cable

Procedure

1. For motors with brake:

When the motor is rotated, the Y-axis and the Y-axis slide are moved.

Set a distance of at least 10 cm to allow this movement:

-Between Y-axis and drive cover or end cap

-Between Y-axis slide and X-axis

1. Disconnect connected motor cable and encoder cable from the motor.

2. Unscrew the 4 retaining screws.

3. Rotate the motor to the desired position.

The Y-axis and the Y-axis slide are moved with motors with brake.

1. Tighten the retaining screws.

1. Connect the motor cable and encoder cable to the motor.

If necessary, repeat the procedure for the other motor.
