Chapter 1 Start
Avoid Accidents, Injury, and Property Damage
• Mount emergency stop switches in the immediate reach of the operator.
• Keep free and clear of the range of motion of the machine and parts that
move. Help prevent personnel from accidentally entering the range of
motion by using:
– Safety fences
– Protective coverings
– Safety guards
• Safety fences and protective coverings must be strong enough to resist
maximum kinetic energy of the system, See Machine Guarding on
page 29 .
• Light barriers are not recommended without detailed risk assessment,
due to the high kinetic energy of the movers.
• After the drive power is switched off, prevent the fall of the vertical axes
by:
– Securing the vertical axes mechanically
– Adding an external braking, arrester, or clamp mechanism
– Having sufficient equilibrium of the vertical axes.
• Avoid the operation of high-frequency, remote control, and radio
equipment near system electronics and their power supply leads. If the
use of these devices is necessary, check that they do not interfere or cause
malfunctions in the machine operation. We recommend performing an
electromagnetic compatibility test before putting the system into
service.
Avoid Electrical Shock
Pinch Point Hazard
ATTENTION: The motor modules, Kinetix 5700 iTRAK power supply, and the
bus conditioner require 5 minutes to discharge before you handle wire and
cable connections.
ATTENTION: Permanent magnets can act as generators when power is
removed. The voltage that is generated is proportional to the speed of the
movers. The electronics are designed to handle high voltages, however if the
cables are not connected, the terminals can have voltage potential of up to
35 V/m/s.
ATTENTION: There is a pinch point hazard while installing a mover. A mover
can have sudden and fast motion due to magnetic attraction. Do not put
fingers between the mover and motor module.
