9.1 Notes regarding operation
9.1.1 Wear
• Individual components are subject to unavoidable wear by their very nature.
Structural measures and the selection of materials are used to achieve functional
reliability over the full service life. However, wear is also dependent on the
operating, maintenance and ambient conditions at the place of use (resistance,
contamination).
• The overloading of conveyor sections can cause the conveyor medium to
malfunction and lead to the premature breakdown of motors and gears.
• If pneumatically activated components are overloaded, it is not possible
to guarantee their function.
9.1.2
Measures to reduce wear
The following commonsense measures will reduce wear:
• Switch off the conveyor section when the system is not in use, e.g., during breaks,
at night and on weekends.
• Do not select a higher speed for the conveyor section than that required for the
corresponding function.
• Abrasive media and objects will greatly increase wear.
Clean the system regularly!
9.1.3
Loading the workpiece pallet
The modular units are designed and tested under the assumption that the workpiece
pallets will not all have the same weight as they travel through the section.
Some workpiece pallets will be loaded while others will be empty.
Signifi cantly different weights may require special measures to avoid malfunctions.
This applies to:
• The permitted accumulation length before stop gates.
• Damper functionality.
• Dampened stop gates.
