3. OPERATION
3.1 NORMAL USE
3.1.1 Important information
Warning
: Do not use this equipment with positive internal pressure above the specified maximum.
Warning
: Keep clear of moving parts.
Caution:
Do not operate unless the shipping pin is removed (see figure 1).
Caution
: The Omniax uses precision guidance mechanisms: avoid undue strain due to clashes with
fixed objects, exceeding the vectorial limit, overloading the top flange, leaning on the equipment, etc.
Caution
: Where motors are fitted, the motor connector must not be disconnected unless the power to
the drive has first been switched off. Allow a few seconds for the circuits to discharge.
Caution
: Microswitches are intended for emergency use only. Do not use microswitches as position
indicators or datum markers. Stepper motors may overrun by several steps when a microswitch is
activated, particularly if traveling at speed. Always check the datum position and reset as necessary.
3.1.2 Operation
• The unit must be correctly installed, and the information above followed carefully.
• Manual operation is straightforward and needs no special consideration.
