SAFETY
2.1
Intended Use
The WT-120 is a laboratory device as defined by DIN EN 61010. It is
intended for indoor use and use in an environment that is free of dirt, oil,
and lubricants.
In accordance with its design, the WT-120 is intended for single-axis
positioning, adjusting and rotation of loads around an axis at various
velocities. The WT-120 can be mounted horizontally or vertically.
The intended use of the WT-120 is only possible in conjunction with suitable
electronics. The following options are available:
1. Drive electronics and controller with suitable software
2. Combination device with suitable software
• The electronics are not included in the scope of delivery of the WT-120.
• The electronics must provide the required voltages. To ensure proper
performance of the servo-control system, the electronics must be able to
read out and further process the signals from the reference switch as
well as those from the incremental position encoder.
