System description
1.1
General
The basic functionality of a spindle lifting system SL/SM by Ergoswiss AG is the lifting and lowering of work
surfaces, machine parts, profile systems, etc.
An operative spindle lifting System SL/SM consists of a minimum of following components:
•
Lifting column (with integrated spindle drive)
•
Control unit (control box, manual control switch and power cable)
The lifting column SL/SM consists of two colorless anodized aluminium profiles which are guided with plastic
guides. The inner profile is moved by an inline spindle drive. Up to 3 spindle lifting columns can be con-
nected to one control box compact-3-eco and be operated synchronously.
The intelligent control box compact-3-eco is equipped with a highly efficient switched-mode power supply
(SMPS) and a monitoring software (overload, duty cycle, overheat). Due to the optimised driving comfort,
the end positions are gently approached as low-speed zones up to the standstill. Additional functions, such
as the synchronisation of two to four drives or the connection of safety strips (squeezing protection) can be
used.
With the manual control switch up/down the spindle lifting system can be operated comfortably, the work
surface will be adjusted steplessly in its height.
With the separately available manual control switch memory the current height of the work surface is contin-
uously shown on the display (cm or inch). Up to four different memory positions can be stored and ap-
proached individually.
1.2
Specified normal operation
The lifting system SL/SM is used in applications which need ergonomic height adjustable work surfaces.
While mounting the lifting system into a greater system and while operating the system, the specified nor-
mal operation of the entire system is to be complied with. Commissioning is prohibited until the entire sys-
tem complies with the provisions of EG Machinery Directives 2006/42/EG (Machinery Directive).
The system is only to be installed and used indoors in dry conditions.
The operating temperature range is at 0 °C to +40 °C.
The spindle lifting system must not be overloaded. Do not exceed the given maximum lifting load per lifting
column.
The lifting system can be continuously operated for a maximum of 2 minutes. Afterwards a pause of at least
18 minutes needs to be observed before the system can be operated again. To avoid overheating of the sys-
tem a duty cycle of 2/18 (ON/OFF) should be maintained in general.
1.3
Target group and prior knowledge
This operating instruction addresses the following groups of people:
The
commissioning staff
, who installs and commissions the lifting system into a work station, a machine,
ect. For commissioning activities, mechanical and electrical knowledge is prerequisite. Before using the sys-
tem for the first time the operating instruction must be read.
The
end user
controls the complete system via manual control switch and adjusts its height.
Before using the system for the first time the operating instruction must be read.
