1 Safety
1.1 Definition or warning notes
WARNING
Indicates potential danger. Non-observance of the safety provisions
may cause death or severe injury.
CAUTION
Indicates potential danger. Non-observance of the safety provisions may
cause property damage or injury.
NOTE Offers additional information.
1.2 General warning notes
The module must only be commissioned by specialists who received safety-technical
instruction and are able to assess potential dangers. Furthermore, all chapters of these
operating instructions must have been read and understood completely.
WARNING
The system must be powered down for all assembly, disassembly or
repair work. There is a high danger of injury.
WARNING OF HOT SURFACE
During operation, heating of the motor, in particular of stepper motors, can
cause burns of the skin when touching the motor. Install a protective device, if
possible! Do not touch the marked areas or wait for an adequate cooling time.
CAUTION
Motor connectors must not be inserted or disconnected when live. Risk of
burning of the contacts and risk of flying sparks.

Safety Mounting instructions October 2019

CAUTION
Linear modules always have to be operated in connection with suitable safety
devices (e.g., safety cell, protective room, protective housing, light curtain).
NOTE Observe the Manufacturer's Declaration (see section Declaration of
incorporation, page 34).
1.3 Special hazard warnings
In addition, this operating instructions also contains the following special hazard warning:
DANGER FROM CRUSHING
These places of the components pose the danger of crushing limbs in
operation.

October 2019 Mounting instructions Intended use
MAN_EN_1040582_easyLINE_R3b.doc easyLINE Page 7 of 34
2 Intended use
The easyLINE module (see Figure 1) is a precise, linear adjustment unit with toothed belt drive
that is used in the commercial area as an attachment part in connection with other
components. In combination with many standardised installation elements and the other linear
modules of IEF-Werner GmbH (e.g. module 68 and 68D, module 105, module 105 S, module
142 and module 142 S), complex multi-axis handling systems can be developed as well.
Figure 1: easyLINE module
The areas of application of an easyLINE module are accordingly diverse.
They encompass:
■Stop adjustment in the wood industry
■Equipment systems for SMD components
■Joining and press-in processes in precision mechanics
■Loading and unloading station of tool machines up to
■Manipulators for the packaging industry
2.1 Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The easyLINE module is not to be used for certain applications, and in particular not for such
as the transport of persons and animals or as a pressing/bending device for cold working of
metal.
Use of the linear module without additional measures is also notpossible in special fields of
application, such as the chemical or food industry or in explosive atmospheres.
In case of doubt, consult the manufacturer.

3 Assembly instructions
3.1 Installation position
The installation position is optional, i.e. the easyLINE module can be used horizontally as well
as vertically.
CAUTION
In the vertical installation position, use only motors with spring-operated brake
to prevent the lowering of the drive in de-energized condition!

3.3 Attachment
3.3.1 Mounting with clamping elements
The use of clamping elements (see Figure 6) allows the linear unit easyLINE to be easily
secured to a level mounting surface. Standard length clamping elements are available for the
cross-mounting of linear units. For safety reasons, continuous clamping sections are advised.
This ensures hazardous shear points are avoided.
Please avoid additional drilling holes in the basic body. This might damage the internal parts of
the linear unit and could distort the guide base.
CAUTION
The clamping area should have a planeness of 0.1 mm/m²

3.3.2 Attachment at the carriage of the linear module
As a second possibility the linear module can be attached at its carriage
(use easyLINE with a long carriage and a stroke longer than 300 mm).
The basic body moves free. However, in this case the motor, motor cable, limit switch cable
and also encoder or resolver cable have to be moved as well.
Figure 9: Mounting example
Via two borings M5 (see in Figure 10) the linear unit can be tighten up on a mounting table.
A further mounting possibility is using the 4 threaded borings M6 (see ) possibly through a
distance plate.

3.3.3 Installation of actuators
Actuators (pick-up modules, cylinders etc.) to be installed on the module easyLINE are usually
attached to the linear unit using the drill template of the end plates, see Figure 10 , page 12 or
Figure 11, above.
If you assemble according to Figure 9, page 12, you can mount the actuators according to the
mounting example of Figure 12, below.
Only very light elements (less than 1 kg) can be attached directly on the end plate. In this case,
you should equip the end plate with a suitable mounting plate.

3.4 Wiring
3.4.1 Motors
CAUTION
The electrical connection of the motors is performed according to the motor
data sheet. For customer-specific motors, the data sheet must be requested
from the respective manufacturer and the motor connected accordingly.
3.4.2 Initiators
Inductive proximity switches (PNP normally closed contacts, article no.: 025165 see Figure 14)
are used as standard limit switches for the running path. These switches are no safety limit
switches pursuant to EN60204-1. Optionally, (also subsequently) an additional reference point
switch (PNP normally open contact article no.: 726744, see Figure 13), can be installed in the
easyLINE module. The active button is marked with a coloured circle. Normally closed contacts
are marked with a green, normally open contacts with a red dot. The initiators and their supply
lines are protected in a cable channel integrated in the basic body and are wired to a joint plug.
A plastic strip serves to cover the cable channel. An initiator can be replaced or relocated
easily after removal of this plastic strip from the cable channel.

3.4.3 Cable routing
For all moving cables, suitable cable routing has to be used to effectively prevent cable breaks.
The minimum radius rmin for cable carriers results from the following formula:
rmin ≥10 x cable diameter
When different cables are used, EN 60204 must be observed. In addition, it must be ensured
that a space reserve of 30% is kept free within the routing chains. A strain relief for the cables
has to be attached at the outlet of the cable routing chain.
We recommend procuring original cables and cable routing chains from IEF-Werner. Please
contact us, we will be pleased to provide advice.

3.5.4 Technical data when using a planetary gear
Before commissioning, observe the possible input speeds of the gear manufacturers.
Too-high input speeds can lead to increased wear at the gear and/or thermal problems.
The accuracy of the linear unit is influenced by the reverse play of the gears.
Example:
The gear reverse play (S) is 9 angle minutes.
How high is the reverse play at the carriage of the linear unit?
Infeed constant of the linear unit (Vk): 140 mm
Reverse play at the carriage = (Vk • S) / (360 x 60)
= (140 mm • 9) / (360 x 60)
= 0.058 mm
Consider the information of the respective gear manufacturer in any case.

4 Maintenance
During the design of the linear unit easyLINE, great importance was placed on the use of low-
maintenance components. All roller elements were provided with lifetime lubrication in the
factory.
To avoid danger of over-lubrication of the linear bearings, no external lubrication nipples were
attached to the carriage part. However, to achieve a high service life of the wipers, we
recommend moistening the guide shafts with special grease at regular intervals. The lubricant
may be procured from IEF in tubes of 50 gr (Art. no.732934) each:
The recommended maintenance intervals add up to approx. 200 operating hours under regular
ambience conditions. The maintenance intervals should be reduced for unfavourable ambient
conditions.
