Pneumatic Linear Drive OSPP-Classic / KF
9.2 Commissioning of a Complete Plant
Danger of crushing!
The piston yoke and the guide carriage of linear drives may cause serious injuries during their movements.
Protruding edges of other subassemblies or machine components may result in dangerous crushing points.
• Observe instructions for switching on and off the plant, running up of plant, control displays in accord-
ance with the operating instructions.
• Prior to switching on/first start-up of the plant make sure that nobody is within reach of the plant.
• Everybody must be informed that the cylinder (the plant) is about to start.
• Prior to commissioning check all protective devices, limit switches, safety earthings and other protective
measures for proper function and completeness. Inspect all parts of the plant for foreign substances.
• Nobody must stay within the danger zone during commissioning.
• Make sure that the correct plant data have been entered for the first start-up.
• Make
two strokes of piston / guide carriage by hand
without air pressure.
• Move piston / guide carriage to mid position.
• Screw in both cushioning adjustment screws for end cushioning fully.
• Unscrew both cushioning adjustment screws about half a turn.
• Pressurise plant slowly in order to avoid uncontrolled, dangerous movements (soft start valve), according
in our catalogue.
• Adjust speed with throttle non-return valve.
• Adjust end cushioning with cushioning adjustment screws.
Check the permissible weights and speeds in accordance with cushioning diagram in catalogue OSP-P.
9.3 Re-commissioning after long periods without operation
• Make two strokes of piston by hand without air pressure.
• Move piston to middle position.
• Continue as for individual cylinder (chapter 9.1).
10 Removal from plant
Danger of crushing and eye injuries
Take great care when removing the OSPP-Classic / OSPP-Classic-KF. Observe the Chapter 2, page 5 “ Safe-
ty“ and the local safety regulations.
Dangers are:
•
Residual pressure in air lines and actuators
- Slowly depressurise the cylinder and plant to vent residual pressure from air lines and actuators.
•
Heavy parts which can fall when disconnected
- Heavy parts must be secured before disconnection.
- Make sure that no personnel are in an area where something might fall.
• Sharp edges
- Savety gloves must be worn to protect against cuts from sharp edges.
• Piston movement
- To avoid uncontrolled piston movements the cylinder/plant must be completely vented.
- If installed vertically, the piston must be moved to the lower end position before venting.
Disposal
Observe all regulations on the disposal of environmentally damaging materials.
