When connecting and operating the portal axes, unexpected movements can
lead to serious injuries and/or damage to property.
▪Only qualified personnel may work with or on the PEZ module.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to high noise exposure!
the portal axis generates 70 dB(A) during full-load operation. Depending on
the add-ons, the environment and the resonance of the protective device
theses values may be exceeded and expose the operator to a higher noise
level.
▪The operating company is responsible for ensuring that the permissible
noise levels are observed.
▪If the permissible noise levels are exceeded, the operating company shall
ensure that the operator uses a suitable hearing protection.
DANGER
Danger! Risk of electric shock!
If work on electrical components is required, ensure that the work is carried
out properly, failure to do so will cause serious or fatal injuries.
▪Work on the machine's electrical equipment may only be performed by
skilled electrician or trained personnel under the supervision of a skilled
electrician in accordance with all relevant electrical regulations.
CAUTION
Danger of injury from hot surfaces.
During continuous operation of the portal axes, the surface on the motor heats
up to 100°C.
▪Wear protective gloves!
▪Before touching hot surfaces without protective gloves, make sure they
have cooled down to ambient temperature.
