Operation
1. Comply with operating conditions.
2. Comply with maintenance conditions
è
3. Only close the holding brake when the motor is switched off.
In cantilever mode, the service life can be increased if vibrations of the cantilever are reduced.
Remedial measures:
1. Use smoothing.
2. In vertical operation, the load should preferably be mounted directly under the centre of the
guide.
3. Minimise lateral accelerations of the entire cantilever axis.

Maintenance
10.1
Checking the toothed belt
WARNING!
Risk of injury due to falling loads if the toothed belt has broken.
Injury due to impacts or crushing.
•
Check the toothed belt for wear and observe the service life.
•
If there are signs of toothed belt wear, send the axis to Festo or contact Festo service
è
www.festo.com.
For cantilever axis ELCC-...-PU1:
1. Check the toothed belt for wear (e.g. toothed-belt friction) after 1000 km of operating distance
and then after every 500 km of operating distance.
2. If there are signs of toothed belt wear, send the axis to Festo or contact Festo service
è
www.festo.com.
NOTICE!
Retightening the toothed belt means increased wear and can cause the toothed belt to break.
•
Do not adjust the toothed belt during operation.
10.2
Checking the cover strip
•
Check the cover strip after every 2000 km of operating distance for the formation of waves.
Waves on the cover strip are a sign of wear on the belt reversal device.
Retighten the cover strip as follows whenever waves form:
1. Loosen the threaded pins [A] on the left cover
è
Fig.8. Do not adjust the threaded pins on the
right cover.
2. Push the cover strip into the left cover.
3. Tighten cover strip with a clamping element [B]
è
The cover strip must not make contact with the inside top surface of the carriage.
4. Tighten threaded pins. Tightening torque: 2 Nm.
