Commissioning of a Complete Plant
8.1 Preparations
Check before commissioning
• Remove and dispose off all packaging.
•
Make two strokes of piston by hand without air pressure
.
Important:
After the cylinder had been installed do not carry out any electric welding.
Electric welding may damage the sealing system which may cause considerable leakage of the cylinder.
The cylinder can produce uncontrolled movements.
Remove the cylinder or electrically isolate it.
The assembly itself must be carried out in such a way that
• The applicable rules and regulations are observed as required (e.g. DIN EN 983).
• The Linear Drive is installed without distortion or warping.
• All connections and operating parts are accessible.
• The type plate and the yellow strip with the „Attention“ note is legible on the cylinder.
Any potential hazards that may exist between ORIGA products and customer’s items of equipment must be
eliminated by the user as required.
8.2 Commissioning OSPP-Classic / -KF
Notes on the Application of Linear Drive
Mechanical
• In the case of extreme contamination we recommend to install the „
piston / guide-carriage-down
“ instal-
lation and, if necessary, the use of deflectors.
• Secure the payload only at the corresponding
OSPP-Classic
: 2 threaded holes on the centre piece or use the 4 off side through holes.
OSPP-Classic-KF
: T- on the guide carriage (threaded holes OSPP-Classic-KF16).
• Place the payload in such a way that the tilting moments at the piston are below the values
that are stated in the catalogue OSPP-Classic / -KF.
• For long cylinders, use mid-section supports, see catalogue.
• Avoid forces exerted by loads carried on external linear guides by using the OSPP carrier with clevis
mounting from our catalogue.
Electrical
• Sensors enable your load to be positioned accurately, see catalogue.
• Fit the sensors so that they are not close to ferritic parts or moving loads.
• Use the most favourable mounting slot on the circumference of the cylinder profile.
Pneumatic
• Actuate the cylinder via two 3/2 way valves or one 5/3 way valve, normally open, see catalogue.
• Avoid uncontrolled movements during start-up or after an unwanted stop, see catalogue.
• Use soft start valves or similar arrangements, see catalogue.
• Arrange the control system so that the piston does not travel into a completely exhausted cylinder
chamber.
• Adjust the piston speed with additional throttle non-return valves screwed directly into the cylinder,
see catalogue.
• Use compressed air connections of adequate size.
