ICH Installation Guide | 2 Safety
Transport of ICH motors with a weight of more than 20kg
Suspended load. Risk of death if loads falls. Never step under the load, while the linear motor
is raised.
Hanging loads (vertical axes) require an additional, external mechanical brake to ensure per-
sonnel safety.
2.3 Use as directed
l
The user is
only
permitted to operate ICH under the ambient conditions which are
defined.
l
ICH are installed as a component in electrical systems or machines and can only be put
into operation as integral component.
l
ICH motors have to operate on the servo drives which supports linear servo motors oper-
ation.
l
The thermal sensor, which is integrated in ICH winding, must be observed and evaluated.
l
If machines or sections of machines are transported with linear motors already mounted
on the motion axes, then these axes must be blocked to prevent unintended movement.
l
If the magnet ways or linear machines or sections of machines are transported via air
cargo with the magnet ways already mounted on the motion axes, then these parts need
to be packed according to IATA953 requirements.
2.4 Prohibited use
l
The use of the ICH motors is prohibited directly on mains supply networks.
l
The use of the ICH motors is prohibited if any kind of mechanical parts is present in air
gap between forcer and magnetic way.
l
ICH motors should not be used in applications with contact with food and beverage.
l
Standard ICH motors should not be applied in explosion-prone, hazardous environments.
l
Standard ICH motors should not be used in environments with caustic and/or electrically
conducting acids, bases, oils, vapors, dusts.
l
Commissioning the motor is prohibited if the machine in which it was installed
- does not meet the requirements of the EC Machinery Directive,
- does not comply with the EMC Directive,
- does not comply with the Low Voltage Directive.
