Mechanical Procedures
Some equipment requires periodic adjustment to re-establish the accuracy and
desired output of the SuperTrak conveyance platform. ATS recommends replacing
defective devices rather than repairing them. Only qualified technicians should
perform maintenance tasks.
Install a Pallet
1. Open the safety circuit.
2. Slide the keeper plate off the pallet
magnet assembly.
Always make sure the safety circuit is open (which turns OFF the
SuperTrak conveyance platform motor power) when completing any
mechanical procedures.
See
Hazardous Energy on page 8.
• The magnetic field generated by the pallet magnets can be harmful to
pacemaker wearers. Maintain a minimum distance of 31 cm (12 in.)
between the pallet and the implant location. The magnetic field may
also induce magnetic materials into motion, creating potential
projectiles or pinch points. Various electronic equipment and
magnetic data carriers can also be affected by magnetic fields. Install
a
keeper plate
on the pallet magnet to reduce the magnetic field to
a safe level.
• Make sure the motor power is OFF when a pallet is installed on the
SuperTrak conveyance platform. The external safety circuit must turn
the failsafe output to the control panel OFF when the guard doors are
open, to disable the motor power.
The magnetic attraction between the permanent magnets of the pallet
and the motor increases as the distance decreases. Prevent strong impact
of the pallet with the motor or damage can occur.
