Basic safety information
This operating manual provides the basis for the safe use and operation of the linear
feeder. This operating manual and, in particular, the included safety instructions have to
be observed by all individuals working with and on the linear feeder. In addition, all rules
and regulations regarding the accident prevention applicable for the site of operation are
to be complied with.
The operating manual must always be kept at the site of operation of the linear feeder.
1.3
Intended use
The linear feeder is intended to convey component parts of different sizes, designs and
types of material.
The workpieces must meet the following requirements in order to ensure a problem-free
operation:
-
they must be free of oil, grease and burrs
-
they must not be sticky
-
they must not be statically charged
-
they must not be magnetic (no self-magnetism)
-
they must be free of dirt and not be mixed with foreign parts
-
rubber parts can be powdered with talcum

Notes for Pacemakers and Defibrillators
Afag vibration conveyors are tested in accordance with regulation 15 of the German Statuto-
ry Accident Insurance Association [Deutsche Gesetzliche Unfallversicherung, DGUV] (previ-
ously BGV B11 of German Accident Prevention Regulations). The permissible values of ex-
posure area 2 are not exceeded, therefore no measures are required pursuant to Section 4
(2) of the DGUV regulation 15. The definitions of Section 12 “Indirect Effects, Medical Im-
plants” remain unaffected by the above.
The alternating magnetic fields that occur in the immediate vicinity of certain vibration con-
veyors may affect the proper functions of active implants, i.e. pacemakers and defibrillators.
Anyone with active medical implants, for which no individual risk assessment has been pro-
vided, must observe the specified safety distances to the vibration conveyors. The distances
each relate to the position of the upper body and the active medical implant relative to the
field source.
