Preparations for mounting
CAUTION
Lifting heavy loads can result in permanent health damage.
• Depending on its size and weight (
Tab. 1 Dimensions and weights), the parallel kinematic
system should be lifted and turned over by 2 to 3 persons. An additional person is required during
attachment to the mounting frame.
CAUTION
Danger of injuries from crushing and cuts.
If it is transported incorrectly, high forces may be applied to the front unit or rods. As a result, rods can
break or rod connections come loose. The loosened front unit can result in crushing injuries and the
broken, sharp-edged rods in cuts.
• Grip the EXPT only in the area of the motors, axes or the mounting frame.
• Place the parallel kinematic system only on the mounting frame.
• Lift up the parallel kinematic system in such a way that you can turn it freely.
NOTICE
After being turned over, the parallel kinematic system cannot be set down without damage. Therefore,
first make the following preparations:
• Prepare the required mounting accessories for attachment to the frame.
• In doing so, observe the instructions corresponding to the frame used and the intended method of
mounting.
