Basic safety notices
This chapter serves to ensure the safety of everyone working with HM-S and HT-S linear axes and those who assemble,
install, operate, maintain or disassemble them. Non-compliance with the following information results in dangerous
working conditions.
WARNING!
2.1 Intended use
The HM-S and HT-S linear axes combine guiding and drive functions in the one compact unit. They are designed for the
precise positioning in terms of time and location of fixed mounted loads within an automated system. It is specifically ideal
for applications requiring high precision.
In the case of vertical assembly, a suitable clamping or braking device must be provided in order to prevent unintended
lowering of the load.
All HM-S and HT-S linear axes may only be used for the intended purpose as described.
All HM-S and HT-S linear axis sizes are subject to performance limits (see catalogue „Linear Axes and Axis Systems
HX”). These performance limits may not be exceeded during operations.
HM-S and HT-S linear axes must not be operated in potentially explosive atmospheres.
HM-S and HT-S linear axes may only be used and operated indoors.
HM-S and HT-S linear axes form part of a complete system. Personal safety must therefore be safeguarded beyond the
concept for this complete system.
Proper use of the HM-S and HT-S linear axes includes observing the assembly instructions and following the mainte-
nance and repair specifications.
Use of the HM-S and HT-S linear axes for any other purpose shall be considered improper use.
The HM-S and HT-S linear axes are delivered as a system (guiding/drive). Therefore observe the whole documentation for this
system. The provided documentation may vary depending on the linear axis type.
2.2 Reasonably foreseeable misuse
HM-S and HT-S linear axes must not be operated:
outdoors
in potentially explosive atmospheres
2.3 Conversions and modifications
Conversions or modifications to the HM-S and HT-S linear axes are not permitted!
2.4 Residual risks
During normal operation, there are no residual risks associated with the HM-S and HT-S linear axes because they form part of
the complete system and the operator must safeguard personal safety beyond the concept for this complete system. Warn-
ings about risks that may arise during maintenance and repair work are provided in the relevant sections.
