2.1 Safety measures
The following information serves to recognise and avoid dangers in
order to ensure a handling of the S-Former E that is as safe as possible.
The S-Former E is a quality product manufactured according to accepted tech-
nological standards and left the production site in excellent condition with
regard to safety.
However, its use may endanger the life and limb of operators or third parties, or
cause damage to the S-Former E itself as well as other property.
The prerequisite for the safe handling and failure-free operation of the S-Former E
is knowledge of the safety instructions and regulations. Observe the general and
regional regulations regarding accident prevention and environmental protection,
the assembly instructions of the S-Former E and the manufacturer documents
for the components.
Integrate the assembly instructions into the technical documentation of the
machine in which the S-Former E has been installed. The assembly instructions
must be readily accessible for all operating and maintenance personnel.
2.2 Intended use
The S-Former E is exclusively intended to be installed in a superordinate complete machine.
It is designed for
ƒ the non-machining manufacture of internal threads in designated, prepared threaded holes,
ƒ use in superordinate machines such as punching presses, punching tools and progressive
stamping tools,
ƒ use as a self-sufficient unit.
The manufacturer of the superordinate complete machine must provide a control unit with a frequency
converter and servo control technology for controlling the AC Servodrive, as well as the operating ele-
ments and safety equipment, in accordance with the relevant standards.
The fixtures for the installation of the S-Former E must be sufficiently stable and bend-resistant to meet
the anticipated maximum output and the resulting torques.
Only designated components and accessory parts that have been approved by the manufacturer may
be used.
Putting the S-Former E into service is prohibited until it has been determined that the machine in which
the S-Former E has been installed fulfils all the fundamental requirements of the Machinery Directive.
