H-845 Hexapod System
7.2 Packing the Hexapod for Transport
CAUTION
Risk of crushing!
Depending on the tilting angle of the surface to which the hexapod is to be mounted,
the hexapod can slip, tilt or fall from the surface. There is a risk of injuries if parts of
your body get caught by the hexapod, and the hexapod can be damaged.
Position the surface where the hexapod is mounted horizontally.
If the surface where the hexapod is mounted cannot be positioned horizontally:
Keep any part of your body away from areas where they can get caught by the
hexapod.
Loosen the screws with which the hexapod is mounted on the surface only when
the hexapod is connected to the crane by the three ring bolts and shackles.
NOTICE
Impermissible mechanical load!
An impermissible mechanical load can damage the hexapod.
Only send the hexapod in the original packaging.
Only transport the hexapod using a crane. The crane must lift the hexapod by
3 ring bolts and shackles affixed to the motion platform of the hexapod.
To fix the ring bolts and shackles use the three M12 mounting holes in the
motion platform of the hexapod, see Figure 15 on p. 30.
NOTICE
Sudden, impermissible forces during demounting hexapod from tilted surface!
When the hexapod slips from a tilted surface while it is connected to the crane,
impermissible forces can occur which can cause damage to the hexapod.
Position the surface where the hexapod is mounted horizontally.
If the surface where the hexapod is mounted cannot be positioned horizontally:
Lift the crane carefully while loosening the screws with which the base plate of
the hexapod is mounted to the surface.
