Installing Pucks/Magnet Arrays
Magnet Array Installation
The magnet arrays are supplied with threaded standoffs for locating and securing to the
mounting surface of the vehicle (refer to
). Mount the magnet arrays to the vehicles as defined by the design of the vehicle.
Puck Installation
Pucks (the vehicle used to transport material through the MagneMover LITE transport sys-
tem) can easily be added or removed as needed once the MM LITE transport system is com-
pletely installed.
NOTE:
MagneMotion recommends installing all pucks before completing motor installation
on a closed-loop system by sliding them onto the transport system at the end of an
installed motor and then sliding them out of the way.
If the transport system has been fully assembled and there is no section of the system config-
ured for loading/unloading pucks refer to
for the preferred
method to add or remove pucks and
Replace Precision Rail Vehicles
ferred method to add vehicles on transport systems with precision rails.
CAUTION
Strong Magnets
To avoid severe injury, people with pacemakers and other
medical electronic implants must stay away from the magnet
array on the vehicles (pucks).
To avoid injury from strong magnetic attractive forces:
•
Handle only one vehicle (puck) or magnet array at a time.
•
Do not place any body parts, such as fingers, between a
vehicle (puck) or magnet array and any ferrous material
or another magnet array.
•
Vehicles (pucks) or magnet arrays not being used should
be secured individually in isolated packaging.
To avoid damage to watches, electronic instruments, and
magnetic media (e.g., cell phones, memory disks/chips,
credit cards, and tapes) keep these items away from the mag-
net arrays.
