Warning
! Danger due to electrical voltage!
Dangerous currents may flow before and during assembly, disassembly and repair work.
Before and during all assembly, disassembly or repair work, the distance measuring
system or the higher-level system must be de-energised and it must be ensured that the
mains connection cannot be re-established by other persons!
Observe the assembly instructions of the other system components (e.g. linear motor,
servo drive)!
Caution!
Possible damage to the HIWIN MAGIC distance measuring system!
The measuring tape of the magnetic distance measuring systems must not be exposed to
strong magnetic fields. Magnetic dust can falsify the measuring signal or damage the
distance measuring system.
Keep the distance between the distance measuring systems and the permanent magnets
of linear motor axes!
Caution when using magnetic feet (dial gauge holders), e.g. to align the profile rails!
Avoid strong shocks (e.g. use of a hammer)!
Do not use the system in environments with magnetic dust (e.g. graphite dust)!
Caution!
Possible damage to the HIWIN MAGIC distance measuring system!
Magnetic chips or other foreign objects may stick to the magnetic tape. This can destroy the
mechanics of the encoder.
Check the air gap between the scanning unit and the measuring standard (magnetic tape)
regularly and keep it free!
Note:
The magnetic tape is fixed to the rail with a high-performance adhesive (exclusively for sizes
HG_20, HG_25, QH_20 and QH_25). The adhesive can be dissolved by certain solvents. If the
adhesive loosens, the magnetic tape may bulge. This must be prevented with specific
measures (e.g. additional clamping of the magnetic tape at the ends).
HIWIN GmbH accepts no liability should a tape come loose from the rail that has not been
secured with the appropriate measures.
