WARNING
Risk of injury due to falling tombstone, pallet or workpiece if the
clamping pin locking is loosened from the clamping bolt
mounting erroneously or as a result of negligence.
•
During operation, incorrect or negligent loosening of the
clamping pin must be prevented using suitable
countermeasures (disconnecting the power supply after
locking, use of check valves or safety switches).
•
The machines and equipment must fulfill the minimum
requirements of the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC;
specifically, they must have effective technical measures to
protect against potential mechanical hazards.
•
Wear personal protective equipment.
WARNING
Risk of injury when the clamping pin axis is being used in a
horizontal position or during overhead applications, resulting in
the tombstone or pallet falling down.
•
Use a crane or a transport truck when transporting.
•
During horizontal or overhead applications, the device or
pallet must be secured before loosening to prevent it from
falling.
•
On machining centers with a swivel table, swivel to a
horizontal initial position if possible in order to prevent the
tombstone from falling accidentally.
WARNING
The system clamps using spring force. Risk of injury due to parts
automatically moving to their end positions following actuation
of an "emergency stop" or after switching off the power supply.
•
Wait for the system to shut down completely.
•
Do not reach into the clamping modules.
•
Use pressure maintenance valves.
