10 Commissioning
10.1 Brake test (before commissioning)
•
All fastening screws must be checked for their prescribed
tightening torque.
•
Visual inspection of the pneumatic connections and
lines.
•
Check for leaks (pressure is switched on).
10.2 Brake test (static)
10.2.1 (Static) brake test
•
The brake test is carried out by load transfer or by the
drive.
10.3 Brake test (during operation)
10.3.1 Regular function check (static)
•
Depending on the application requirements, it is advisable
to carry out regular brake force checks (depending on the
application), e.g. test the static holding force once per shift
with the nominal holding force or the maximum load mass.
•
In addition to the regular check of the holding force, we
recommend the use of switching condition monitoring
(optional) in order to check the switching condition of the
brake and to avoid a possible load drop in the event of
vertical installation.
Caution During the brake test, hazards to
persons and machine damage cannot be
ruled out due to malfunctions (assembly er-
rors, control errors, etc.). Do not enter dan-
ger area. Take any measures necessary to
intercept or attenuate the load. Check the
setup!
Recommendation!
Test the brake with the nominal holding
force or the maximum load mass.
Recommendation!
The holding force can be reduced by friction-
reduced substances. If the brake does not reach
the nominal holding force during the functional
test, repeat at 90 % of the nominal holding force
and clean the profile rail at the next opportunity
(see Section 11.4).
Recommendation!
The assurance of the necessary holding force
with all control and braking times in the event
of danger from gravity-loaded axles must be
checked by a test. A cyclical brake test during
operation provides additional safety. Depend-
ing on the hazard, the relevant regulations and
standards must be observed.
