Example) If the start signal for movement to position 2 is input while the actuator is moving to position 1
in the push & hold mode, the actuator will move to the position 10 mm from where it was when
the input signal was input.

(3) Cumulative errors due to repeated incremental moves
Position data is recognized only as a multiple of the minimum resolution. The minimum resolution is
determined by the lead and the number of encoder pulses. Therefore, a margin of error may occur
between the entered position value and the actual movement of the actuator. If an incremental move is
repeated, this error will accumulate.
The maximum error range for each actuator type is shown below:
RC model number Speed type Lead Maximum error range
RCP2 -RPA 1 mm 0.00125 mm
Low speed 3 mm 0.00375 mm

Example) If an incremental move is repeated 10 times on a RCP2-SM high-speed controller, a maximum
error of 0.025 x 10 = 0.25 [mm] may generate with respect to the final position.
To eliminate these cumulative errors, an absolute command must be executed before the error tolerance is
exceeded.
(4) Ball screw accuracy
The accuracy of the ball screw used in the RCP2 conforms to C10 under the JIS standard.
