2.1.0 Transport and storage (packing and unpacking)
CAUTION
The PS module is packed in the original cardboard boxe, if the
module is not handled properly it may fall out of the box when
unpacking and cause injuries to limbs or squeeze your fingers.
NOTE

2.1.1 Possibilities of fastening the PS 25/32
Depending on the application either the base body or the slide can be mounted rigidly.
Installation of base body from below Mounting of gantry model
Use the centering bushings included in the scope of supply to determine the position
and insert these bushings in the opposite borings of the mounting grid.
VORSICHT
CAUTION
In case of installation in a vertical position, the slide should
always be moved, before the installation, into the lowermost
position, since masses that move suddenly can cause injury.

Counterpart (Shock absorber)
Adjusting stop screw
The PS 25/32 consists of the base body (1) with pneumatic connections and cylinder
and the slide (2).
The limit positions are set by a proximity switch holder (3) and the corresponding
counterpart (8). To query the limit positions an inductive sensor with a diameter of 4 mm
(not included in the scope of delivery) can be fixed in the Stop screws.
The mouvement at the limit positions is absorbed by a hydraulic shock absorber (5) and
is counterpart (6). Stop screws and shock absorbers can be installed at the base body
or the slide.
Thus there are various design possibilities so that the PS 25/32 can be adapted to the
space conditions within your system in the best possible way.

3.1.5 Designated use
The series of the high-precision slides PS 25/32 is used for the linear movement of
rigidly mounted loads in non-explosion harzadous ambient and operating conditions that
are specified fort this module; see catalogue technical.
NOTE
Safety Instructions
These Montage Instructions should be read carefully before carrying
out any activity on or with the module.
The module may only be used in accordance with the intended
purpose.
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 inexpert changes or improper assembly,
installation, operation, maintenance or repairs, Afag rejects all
liability.
CAUTION
Connection of compressed air and operation of pneumatic
systems may cause unpredictable movements 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 /2 years* load alterations under the ambient
conditions and conditions of deployment defined for this module, see catalogue. The
warranty includes the repair or replacement of faulty parts at Afag AG.
*First go in event
When repairs are carried out by the customer without prior training or instruction by
Afag automation AG the warranty will become void. No additional claims can be
entertained.
3.1.7 Areas of application
The PS 25/32 High precision slides are exclusively designed for the linear movement of
load capacities of up to 10 –12 kg, (PS 32 = 20 kg) in any position on the slide and
maximum 5-6 kg, ( PS 32 = 12 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 PS 25/32 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.
