Intended Use
The posioner is a laboratory device as dened
by DIN EN 61010-1. It is intended for indoor use
and use in an environment that is free of dirt,
oil, and lubricants.
In accordance with its design, the posioner
is intended for posioning loads at various
velocies. The posioner is not intended for
applicaons in areas where failure would be
a considerable risk for people or the environ-
ment.
The intended use of the posioner is only pos-
sible when completely installed and connected,
and in conjuncon with suitable electronics.
The posioner may only be installed, operated,
maintained, and cleaned by authorized and
appropriately qualied personnel.
Installaon
If the drive screw of the posioner is not
covered, there is a risk of serious injury from
entangled hair, jewelry or clothing.
XMake sure that areas with rotang compo-
nents are shielded.
XDo not work on the unprotected posioner
with loose hair, hanging jewelry or loose
clothing.
Risk of minor injury from crushing between the
moving parts of the posioner or the load and a
xed part or obstacle.
XUse safeguards to protect limbs in areas
where they could be caught by moving
parts.
XMaintain safety distances according to DIN
EN ISO 13857.
Mechanical forces can damage or misalign the
posioner.
XMaintain the maximum permissible forces
(see manual).
XThe calculaons must also include the
masses of posioners moved in mul-axis
systems.
Manually moving the plaorm can cause increa-
sed wear on posioners with a gearhead.
XMove the plaorm of posioners with gear-
head by hand only if it cannot be moved in
any other way.
Collisions can damage the posioner, the load
to be moved, and the surroundings.
XMount the posioner and the load so that
the load cannot get jammed or blocked, or
collide with objects in the workspace.
Unsuitable mounng can warp the posioner
and reduce the accuracy.
XMount the posioner on a at surface with
similar thermal expansion properes (see
manual for recommended atness).
A cable break leads to failure of the posioner.
XInstall the posioner so that the cable can-
not be bent too strongly or crushed during
operaon.
Heat produced during operaon can aect your
applicaon.
XInstall the posioner so that the applicaon
is not aected by dissipang heat.
Startup
Excessively high or incorrectly connected
operang voltages can cause damage to the
posioner.
XUse compable electronics only.
XPay aenon to the operang voltage ran-
ge of the posioner (see manual).
XPay aenon to the correct pin assignment
(see manual).
Unintenonal moon of the posioner is possi-
ble when it is connected to the electronics.
XBefore connecng the posioner, check
whether a macro is dened as the startup
macro in the electronics and if necessary,
cancel the selecon.
If the posioner is equipped with a brake,
unintenonal moon can occur when the brake
is deacvated.
XSecure the posioner against unintenonal
moon before you deacvate the brake.
Uncontrolled oscillaon can damage your appli-
caon or the posioner.
XIf oscillaon occurs, switch o the servo
mode of the electronics or stop the posi-
oner immediately.
XCheck the sengs of the servo control
parameters (see manual).
