B - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
For general safety instructions, please refer to the specific manual supplied with the
equipment.
1 - AIRBORNE NOISE
Please refer to the specific manual « 8695 7051 » supplied with the equipment.
2 - SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
We recommend a concrete floor for the machine to be satisfactorily
stable.
If necessary level the machine and it should be anchored to the floor
through the holes provided for that purpose in the frames.
Before using the machine, make sure that all the guards are in place.
All guard covers must be screwed in.
Only authorised personnel may access electrical cabinets, which must
have locking systems.
Check the state of the electrical cables (supply and controls).
Try the movements without load and check the good functioning of
safety equipment and devices, particularly limit-switches.
Do not exceed the tilting and rotating torques which determine the
maximum admissible load (see diagrams on the equipment).
Do not let loads fall hard on the equipment.
Fully tighten the workpiece(s) on the positioner table.

8695 6650 / CB - SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
POSIMATIC PS30 B-3
Ensure that the equipment's working cannot be jammed by tools
and/or objects left near moving parts, or by rotating pieces which
could hit fixed parts (ground, stands, posts, workshop frames, etc.).
Imperative: an operator corridor must be clear over a minimum width
of 800 mm according to safety standard NF EN 547-1 -3.
Never use the positioner table as a sheet metal working table or
heat the workpiece without taking basic precautions.
If the equipment is used for welding, make sure that the ground
of the power source is connected to the piece before you start
welding.
Never modify the machine. The positioner is not designed for
anchoring or lifting equipment
The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is mandatory.
Clean the working area from time to time.
Machine maintenance must be carried out with all the energy
supplies switched off. The disconnection and padlocking of all
energy sources is mandatory.
3 - IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS
When starting-up or when changing a connection, there is one chance
in two that the connection of phases will be inverted, in which case the
tilt limit switches become totally ineffective and there are great risks of
damage (refer to chapter page D17).

Electrical cabinet
The POSIMATIC PS30 mainly comprises a frame (M1) in which the tilting mechanical (M2)
components are mounted. It supports the rotating plate (M9).
The frame (M1) supports also :
The tilting gearbox (M3).
The electrical cabinet (E1).
The tilting frame (M2) supports :
The cogged quadrant (M5).
The rotatin plate (M9) the cogged ring (M8).
The rotating gearbox (M6).
A control box (E2) connected by means of a multi conductor cable is used for tilting and
rotation movement remote control.

b) The plate (M9)
The work table or plate (M9) made of heavy plate provides easy attachment of parts to be
welded.
Grooves are provided to accommodate bolts in such a maner that bolts cannot be
accidently remove from the slots.
The central hole Ø40 is extended by a tube that runs through the tilting frame (M2). It allows
the gas supply for welding applications for example.

Welding ground connection
POSIMATIC PS30 is fitted with four ground connectors (M10). They are made up of an
assembly with two brushes pushed by springs that rub against the plate (M9).
The capacity of this welding ground connection (1000A for a 100% duty factor) is such that
it enables nearly all welding processes to be used.
In order to avoid overheating of the ground connection, it is advised that welding cables be
connected with a section compatible of course with the current conveyed and the duty factor.
This ground connection must be made to avoid deteriorating the ball bearings of the
positioner.

rotating pieces which could hit fixed parts (ground, stands, posts, workshop frames, etc.).
Imperative: an operator corridor must be clear over a minimum width of 800 mm according to safety standard NF
EN 547-1 -3.
3 - FIXING THE POSIMATIC
This machine must imperatively be anchored to the floor with four anchoring points in a 20 Mpa (350 kg/m³) single
continuous concrete screed with metal reinforcement, completed since at least 21 days (standard BAEL 91).

4 - ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The POSIMATIC is connected electrically to the network by means of the five-metre cable located at the rear of the
supply cabinet.
The cable, which has four conductors, is to be connected to a standardised 3 x 400 V / 50-60Hz system with
equipotential bonding.
VERY IMPORTANT
For compliance with European safety standards, the connection to the electricity supply is to be made via a wall-
mounted cabinet with an individual protective sectioning switch with rating appropriate for the mains voltage and
the consumption by the equipment
The protective sectioning switch must offer breaking capacity of 100KA.
We market cabinets that meet the criteria set out.
ARRANGEMENT OF CABLES AND FLEXIBLE HOSES
The customer must provide a means to support and protect cables and flexible hoses from mechanical, chemical or
thermal damage, right from their point of origin.
