Installation
The roller & measuring conveyor must be installed by a competent person. Make sure that the roller & measuring
conveyor is stable and installed in such a way that no crushing or shearing points occur between the roller &
measuring conveyor and objects in the vicinity. Therefore, ensure sufficient space around the roller & measuring
conveyor in advance. When operating the roller & measuring conveyor as intended, it must always be possible
to carry out activities on the roller & measuring conveyor without obstructions.
Before commissioning the roller & measuring conveyor, it must be levelled with a machine spirit
level and anchored to the ground at the designated points by a competent person.
The following installation and operating requirements must be observed:
The roller & measuring conveyor must be integrated into the existing machinery in such a way that the basic
safety requirements of the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC are met. This must be checked and ensured
by the operator of the roller & measuring conveyor.
The environment must not be explosive.
This operating manual and any supplementary documents must be read carefully and understood.
All safety instructions and regulations must be observed and complied.
Note for EXAKT MES A: At the end of the installation, the power supply lines required for opera-
tion must still be routed to the roller conveyor in a hazard-free and proper manner.

Setting up the roller & measuring conveyor
The roller conveyor is lifted off the pallet by means of a forklift truck. Depending on the length of the roller
conveyor, a second forklift truck is required to prevent the roller conveyor from bending and being damaged.
Figure 2: Lifting from the pallet with forklift truck
•
For roller conveyors up to 3 meters
long, one forklift truck is sufficient.
•
Guide the appropriately spaced forks
to the points marked in
(left).
•
Then lift the roller conveyor only a
few centimetres and park it in the im-
mediate vicinity of the place of use.
•
For lengths over 3 meters, two forklift trucks are required
for the lifting process due to the weight.
•
Guide the appropriately spaced forks to the points marked
in
Figure 2 (right).
•
Then lift the roller conveyor with both forklift trucks as con-
sistently as possible and only a few centimetres to protect
the mechanics at the joints. Now park the roller & measuring
conveyor in the immediate vicinity of the place of use.
9.1.1
Moving the roller conveyor to the place of use
Then use one resp. two lift trucks to move the roller conveyor to the final place of use (e.g. processing machine)
and feed the forks in at the marked points (see
Figure 3: Moving the roller & measuring conveyor to the place of use with a lift truck
Make sure to use two lift trucks and to lift the roller conveyor consistently if it is longer than 3 meters. Then
move it to the installation site and align it according to section
up to 3 m length
over 3 m length
up to 3 m length
over 3 m length
