Intended Use
The positioner is a laboratory device as defined
by DIN EN 61010-1. It is intended for indoor use
and use in an environment that is free of dirt,
oil, and lubricants.
In accordance with its design, the positioner
is intended for positioning loads at various
velocities. The positioner is not intended for
applications in areas where failure would be
a considerable risk for people or the environ
-
ment.
The intended use of the positioner is only pos
-
sible when completely installed and connected,
and in conjunction with suitable electronics.
The positioner may only be installed, operated,
maintained, and cleaned by authorized and
appropriately qualified personnel.
Installation
If the drive screw of the positioner is not
covered, there is a risk of serious injury from
entangled hair, jewelry or clothing.
X
Make sure that areas with rotating compo
-
nents are shielded.
X
Do
not
work on the unprotected positioner
with loose hair, hanging jewelry or loose
clothing.
Risk of minor injury from crushing between the
moving parts of the positioner or the load and a
fixed part or obstacle.
X
Use safeguards to protect limbs in areas
where they could be caught by moving
parts.
X
Maintain safety distances according to DIN
EN ISO 13857.
Mechanical forces can damage or misalign the
positioner.
X
Maintain the maximum permissible forces
(see manual).
X
The calculations must also include the
masses of positioners moved in multi-axis
systems.
Manually moving the platform can cause increa
-
sed wear on positioners with a gearhead.
X
Move the platform of positioners with gear
-
head by hand only if it cannot be moved in
any other way.
Collisions can damage the positioner, the load
to be moved, and the surroundings.
X
Mount the positioner and the load so that
the load cannot get jammed or blocked, or
collide with objects in the workspace.
Unsuitable mounting can warp the positioner
and reduce the accuracy.
X
Mount the positioner on a flat surface with
similar thermal expansion properties (see
manual for recommended flatness).
A cable break leads to failure of the positioner.
X
Install the positioner so that the cable can
-
not be bent too strongly or crushed during
operation.
Heat produced during operation can affect your
application.
X
Install the positioner so that the application
is not affected by dissipating heat.
Startup
Excessively high or incorrectly connected
operating voltages can cause damage to the
positioner.
X
Use compatible electronics only.
X
Pay attention to the operating voltage ran
-
ge of the positioner (see manual).
X
Pay attention to the correct pin assignment
(see manual).
Unintentional motion of the positioner is possi
-
ble when it is connected to the electronics.
X
Before connecting the positioner, check
whether a macro is defined as the startup
macro in the electronics and if necessary,
cancel the selection.
If the positioner is equipped with a brake,
unintentional motion can occur when the brake
is deactivated.
X
Secure the positioner against unintentional
motion before you deactivate the brake.
Uncontrolled oscillation can damage your appli
-
cation or the positioner.
X
If oscillation occurs, switch off the servo
mode of the electronics or stop the positi
-
oner immediately.
X
Check the settings of the servo control
parameters (see manual).
