6.1 General Notes on Startup
CAUTION
Risk of crushing by moving parts!
Risk of minor injuries from crushing between the moving parts of the M-605 or the load and a
fixed part or obstacle.

Never put your finger anywhere where the moving platform or any connected object could
possibly trap it.
NOTICE
Damage due to collisions!
Collisions can damage the positioner, the load to be moved, and the surroundings.

Make sure that no collisions are possible between the positioner, the load to be moved,
and the surroundings in the motion range of the positioner.

Do not place any objects in areas where they can be caught by moving parts.

Stop the motion immediately if a controller malfunction occurs.

If possible, adapt the travel range limits of your mechanical system in the software you use
for commanding the motion.
NOTICE
Unintentional motion!
M-605 stages are powered by powerful electric motors and can accelerate to high speeds. Be
aware that automatic limit switch halt may not be supported by, or activated at, the motor
control electronics. Be aware that failure of the motor controller may drive the stage into a
hard stop at high speeds.
Unintentional motion of the M-605 is possible when it is connected to the controller.

Do not place any objects in areas where they can be caught by moving parts.

Before connecting the M-605, check whether a macro is defined as the startup macro in
the controller, and cancel the selection of the startup macro if necessary.
