1 Safety
The conveyor system has been designed in such a way, that it can be used
and maintained in a safe way. This holds for the application, the circum-
stances and the instructions described in the manual. Any person working
with or on this machine, should study this manual and follow the instruc-
tions. It is the responsibility of the employer to make sure that the employ-
ees are familiar with, and follows these instructions.
The company or country in which the machine is used may require extra
safety measures. This particularly applies to the working conditions. This
manual does not describe how these extra safety measures are to be com-
plied with. In case of doubt, consult your government or safety officer!
1.1 System information
The project number and/or general drawing number shall always be speci-
fied when communicating with FlexLink with respect to the machine.
1.2 Important safety conditions
At the moment that the machine is going to be operated by a user, the fol-

machine using a fence.
• Only persons who have read and understood the operating in-
structions are allowed to operate, maintain and clean the ma-
chine.
• Do not reach into the machine while it is running or on. Even if the
machine is not running, it can be ‘on’, which means start operating
automatically.
• Safety provisions, such as machine guards, emergency stops and
proximity detectors shall not be removed or deactivated while the
machine is running.
• Provide good ambient lighting to enable the operator to work well
and orderly with the machine.

2.2 Scope
This information is part of an information collection describing the imple-
mentation of the X85X, system like assembling of hardware, software in-
stallation, verifying safety equipment etc.
2.3 Audience
This information is mainly written for application engineers and installation
personnel involved in the installation. The contents may also be of use for
training purposes.
It is assumed that the application engineers implementing the FlexLink
conveyor system have attended the FlexLink Basic training course.

2.6 Reference symbols
In most cases of assembling the drive units in chapter 4, Conveyor assem-
bly, the slide rail and chain needs to be installed before the assembly can
be completed. Therefor the underlying symbols will be used to refer the
reader to the chapters concerning mounting of slide rail and chain, instead
of showing the steps repeatedly.
Symbol n°1 refer to chapter 5, Assembly Slide Rail, while n°2 refer to chap-
ter 6, Mounting conveyor chain.

3.1 Support systems assembly
Most conveyor support designs are based on vertical support beams com-
bined, if necessary, with horizontal support beams. The conveyor must be
supported at regular intervals not exceeding 3 000 mm, and always place
a support as close to the drive unit as possible.
3.1.1 Beam cutting length
L = H – h1 – h2
The support profile length L required to obtain a specific conveyor height
H depends on the conveyor size, foot type and beam support bracket. In
this case, CSX beam support brackets are used.
