3.1.2 General description
This is an incomplete machine
The series of the CS-module is used for the linear, smooth movement of rigidly
mounted loads under the ambient and operating conditions defined, see Technical
data.
The CS-module can be installed in the horizontal or vertical position.
Modifications on the CS-module that are not described in these Montage Instructions
or have not been approved in writing by Afag Automation AG are not permitted. In
case of improper changes or assembly, installation, operation, maintenance or
repairs, Afag Automation AG rejects all liability.

Sensor nuts
Air connection
The CS 8/12 consists of the base body (1) with pneumatic connections and cylinder
and the moveably mounted slide (2).
The stop positions are set by means of a stop screw with integrated shock absorber
(3). The stop positions are queried either by.
▪ a d 3 mm inductive switch (accessories : not included in the scope of supply),
mounted under the stop screw, or.
▪ a proximity switch (accessories : not included in the scope of supply), fastened in
the sensor groove.
The movement in the stop positions is absorbed by a shock absorber (3) or a steel
stopper (accessories : not included in the scope of supply).
CAUTION
The shock absorbers installed in the CS modules are precision-
mechanical parts. If the fastening screw is tightened to strongly
the shock absorber can be damaged.

3.1.5 Designated use
The series of the compact slides CS-Modules is used for the linear movement of
rigidly mounted loads in non-explosion harzadous ambient and operating conditions
that are specified for this Module; see catalogue.
NOTE
Montage Instructions should be read carefully before carrying out
any activity on or with the module.
The module may only be deployed in accordance with the intended
use.
Modifications on the module that are not described in these Montage
Instructions or have not been approved in writing by Afag are not
permitted. In case of improper changes or assembly, installation,
operation, maintenance or repairs, Afag rejects all liability.
CAUTION
Connection of compressed air and operation of pneumatic
systems may cause unpredictable movement which may result
in personal injury or damage to property.
When connecting compressed air for the first time make sure that all air chokes are
closed. Ventilate the system slowly.
3.1.6 Warranty
The module is designed for 40 million load alternations* under the ambient conditions
and conditions of use defined for this module, see catalogue. Wearing parts (shock
absorbers and stop screws) are excluded from the warranty. The warranty includes
repair or replacement of faulty Afag parts.
*whichever comes first
When repairs are carried out by the customer without prior training or instruction by
Afag AG the warranty will become void. Any additional claims are excluded.

18 CS8-CS12-OI-vers.-3.6 gb. 21.07.14
3.1.7 Areas of application
The CS Compact Slides are exclusively designed for the linear movement of load
capacities of up to 0,3 –0.7 –3.0 kg (CS 8); (CS 12 to 1,2 kg), in any position on the
slide and maximum 0.3-0.4 kg (CS 8); (CS 12 to 0.7 kg) at the face side of the
module; the load capacities should not affect persons, property or the environment.
They can also be used in combination with other modules than Pick&Place
machines, the permissible load capacities should, however, not be exceeded.
Any other use is regarded as inadequate.
NOTE
The manufacturer does not accept any liability for damage resulting
from such use. The risk is that of the user alone.
Intended use also includes paying attention to the Montage Instructions and
observing the maintenance and repair instructions specified by the manufacturer.
The CS module may only be operated and serviced by correspondingly trained
personnel who have also profound knowledge of the dangers.
CAUTION
The applicable regulations for prevention of accidents and the
other generally accepted safety-relevant and occupational
safety and health regulations are to be followed.
