Notes on lubrication
Safety warnings for handling and transport
Keep the prismatic rail lubricated using oil type VACTRA 2 every 1 year or
2000 km of operations. Keep recirculating ball sliders and rails lubricated
every 1 year or 2000 km of operations using greases between ISO VG 68
and ISO VG 100. In case of heavy loads it is necessary to use greases
type ISO VG 220.
• The manufacturer has paid the utmost attention to packaging to
minimize risks related to shipping, handling and transport.
• Transport can be facilitated by shipping certain components dismantled
and appropriately protected and packaged.
• Handling (loading and unloading) must be carried out in compliance
with information directly provided on the machine, on the packing and
in the user manuals.
• Personnel authorized to lift and handle the machine and its components
shall possess acquired and acknowledged skills and experience in the
specific sector, besides having full control of the lifting devices used.
• During transport and/or storage, temperature shall remain within the
allowed limits to avoid irreversible damage to electric and electronic
components.
• Handling and transport must be carried out with vehicles presenting
adequate loading capacity, and the machines shall be anchored to the
established points indicated on the axes.
• DO NOT attempt to bypass handling methods and the established lifting
points in any way.
• During handling and if required by the conditions, make use of one or
more assistants to receive adequate warnings.
• If the machine has to be moved with vehicles, ensure that they are
adequate for the purpose, and perform loading and unloading without
risks for the operator and for people directly involved in the process.
Never lubricate bearings type 2RS wherever they are present: the pres-
sure exerted during the operation would get the side seals out of seat.
• Before transferring the device onto the vehicle, ensure that both the
machine and its components are adequately secured, and that their
profile does not exceed the maximum bulk allowed. Place the necessary
warning signs, if necessary.
• DO NOT perform handling with an inadequate visual field and when
there are obstacles along the route to the final location.
• DO NOT allow people to either transit or linger within the range of action
when lifting and handling loads.
• Download the axes just near the established location and store them in
an environment protected against atmospheric agents.
• Failure to comply with the information provided might entail risks for the
safety and health of people, and can cause economic loss.
• The Installation Manager must have the project to organize and monitor
all operative phases.
• The Installation Manager shall ensure that the lifting devices and
equipment defined during the contract phase are available.
• The Manager of the established location and the Installation Manager
shall implement a “safety plan” in compliance with the legislation in
force for the workplace.
• The “safety plan” shall take into account all surrounding work-related
activities and the perimeter spaces indicated in the project for the es
tablished location.
• Mark and delimit the established location to prevent unauthorized
IMPORTANT!
The machine rails are protected with a layer of rust-proof
oil or specific grease. Use suitable gloves when handling.
