9 Operation
Hot electric motor surfaces during operation!
Possible burns if the hot surfaces (over 65°C) are touched.
Provide appropriate safety devices to seal off the motors.
Let the system cool off for at least 30 min. before performing any maintenance
or repair work.
9.1 Notes on operation
9.1.1
Wear
• Wear is caused by the basic principle of this system and cannot be avoided on
individual components. By taking constructive measures and selecting proper
materials we strive to ensure that functional safety lasts for the lifetime of the
system. However, wear depends on the operating, maintenance, and ambient
conditions of the system and the location (resistance, contamination).
• Overloading the conveyor sections may damage the conveying medium and cause
the motor and gears to fail.
• Function cannot be guaranteed if the pneumatic components are overloaded.
9.1.2
Measures to reduce wear
The following measures reduce wear:
• Switch off conveyor sections when the system is not running, e.g. during breaks,
over night, on the weekend.
• Only select speeds that correspond with the particular function.
• Especially important: Avoid contamination by abrasive media; reduce
contamination through regular cleaning.
9.1.3
Loading the workpiece pallet
When setting up and testing the modular units, the workpieces pallets should not
all have the same weight on the conveyor sections. Full and empty pallets should all
come through the circuit.
Extreme differences in weight may, however, require special measures to avoid
functional disruptions. This applies to:
• Permissible accumulation length before stop gates.
• Damper function.
• Dampened stop gates.
