Puck Wear Surface Maintenance
The pucks used on the MagneMover LITE transport system may need to be rotated to ensure
even wear on the wear surfaces of the pucks. This is especially true for pucks used in a trans-
port system where all motion is in a single direction, for pucks in a tandem puck configura-
tion, or for pucks that have a cantilevered load.
1.
Remove the pucks from the MagneMover LITE transport system (refer to
2.
Rotate the pucks 180° and replace the pucks on the MM LITE transport system (refer
to
Cable Connection Inspection
1.
Stop all motion on the sections of the MM LITE transport system to be inspected.
2.
Verify all cable connectors are fully seated and screws/locks are secured to ensure
good continuity.
3.
Inspect all cables for restricting bend radii, excessive tension, or physical damage.
4.
Return the MM LITE transport system to normal operation.
Hardware Inspection
1.
Stop all motion on the sections of the MM LITE transport system to be inspected.
2.
Turn off all MM LITE transport system components with accessible power controls.
3.
Ensure all motor stand hardware is secure.
4.
Ensure all motor mounting hardware is secure.
5.
Ensure all guideway mounting hardware is secure.
6.
Ensure all vehicle hardware, especially the hardware securing the magnet array, is
secure.
7.
Ensure the Vehicle Gap (distance between the magnet array on the vehicle and the
motor) is within tolerance for all vehicles on all motors.
8.
Return the MM LITE transport system to normal operation.
Cleaning Magnet Arrays
The magnet arrays will attract ferrous particles from the air and surrounding surfaces. These
particles will accumulate and appear as small “hairs” on the surface of the array.
•
Using adhesive tape to capture the ferrous particles is a simple way to clean the mag-
net arrays.
•
To combat accumulated debris, magnet arrays not being used should be kept in their
original container.
