Safety instructions
Warning
Inappropriate mounting material will cause the planar surface gantry mounting to come
loose during mounting or operation.
Danger of serious injuries.
Use mounting components and mounting surface with sufficient strength.
Observe weight of the planar surface gantry.
Warning
Danger of crushing when handling due to the weight or tilting of the planar surface
gantry.
The planar surface gantry has an asymmetrical centre of gravity.
For stabilisation and to avoid distortions, two transport protection aids are attached to
the X-axes.
Use only the transport lugs for transport.
Fasten the lifting gear to the 4 transport lugs.
No person may stand under the planar surface gantry during transport with lifting
gear.
Observe the weight of the planar surface gantry, which depends on the size and
accessories.
Observe different weight distribution.
Remove transport protection aids on the X-axes only after mounting the planar sur
face gantry to the mounting surface.
Warning
Danger of crushing due to uncontrolled movements of the traverse (Y-axis).
Make sure that the traverse is located at the end caps in the end position (opposite
the motor side) and is secured against uncontrolled movements with the transport
attachments.
Note
For mounting, Festo recommends the adjusting kits as mounting accessories.
After alignment, the limits of the axis alignment must be complied with (
