Visual inspection of the connector lines for kinks, damages of the insulations or the stranded conductors, wiring, plug connections
and screw connections (European-style terminal strips). Replace the current collector head, if the connecting line has one of
the described damages.
Checking the contact pressure: attach a suitable spring balance on the current collector arm, possibly near the joint of the current
collector head. Pull the current collector head (in z-direction) vertically from the conductor rail with the aid of the spring balance.
Reading the measurement: if the collector shoe varies from the conductor surface!
The contact pressure must be between 7 and 12 N. The mounting position on the AS/RS (Z direction) must be adjusted in
the event of deviations.
Checking all connecting and fuse elements (incl. cable ties for change support, if available), as well as the easy movement of each
individual current collector arm; if necessary, replace.
Check the stroke and side tolerance of the current collectors with the conductor rail (compare chapter 1). Adjust the attachment
position on the AS/RS, if necessary.
Conductor strip and insulation profile:
CAUTION! Risk of injuries by electric current!
Visual inspection of the conductor strips for wear, damages, contamination or burnt spots; replace the conductor strip, if
necessary. Verify that the conductor contact areas are completely free of burrs. Burrs on junctions, connector module, repair
module, insulation separating point and pick-up guide may result in an increased carbon loss.
Contamination on the conductor area can be removed mechanically with a cleaning brush. The local Conductix-Wampfler service
partner will provide information concerning the cleaning brushes.
Visual inspection of the insulation profile for wear, damages, contamination or burnt spots; clean or replace the insulation profile,
if necessary.
Verify that there are no bottlenecks in the individual poles of the insulation profile (i.e. due to adhering contamination or offset due
to the overheating of the conductor rail system). Clean and replace the insulation profile, if necessary.
Visual inspection for areas with local overheating (possibly with a thermal imaging camera, if available).
Manually check the movability of the insulation profiles with a loose current collector.
Verify that the insulation of the insulation profile is not obstructed by foreign bodies (chips, liquids, contaminations, etc.)
(Risk of short circuits).
Expansion element, connector module, repair module, insulation separating point and pick-up guide:
CAUTION! Risk of injuries by electric current!
Abrasion may accumulate in the individual poles. This must be removed with a vacuum cleaner or a brush. It must be guaranteed
that the covers of the expansion element and the connector or repair module are snapped in. Snap in or replace the covers, if necessary.
Verify on the connector or repair module that all conductor strip change overs are free from gaps; if necessary, shift the conductor
strips and secure these again with the stud screws.
The distance between the individual conductor strip ends and the insulation separating point or the pick-up guide may not be 0 mm,
but may also not have a gap greater than 30 mm (refer to the respective assembly guidelines). Shift the conductor strips, if
necessary.
Check the plastic transit strip of the insulation separating point. Replace the separating point in the event of excessive wear or a loose
change over strip.
Check the pick-up guide transit by manually or slowly moving the AS/RS. Clean or readjust, if necessary.
Check the stability of the pick-up guide. If necessary, retighten or replace.
