3.4 Overload protection (optional)
An optional safety clutch can be installed to protect the linear transfer system in overload situations. This safety clutch
separates the rotary indexing table from the linear transfer system in the event of an overload, thereby preventing major
damage to the system.
Fig. 6: Overview of the safety clutch
A limit switch is installed to monitor the clutch. The limit switch is mounted on a sensor holder which is attached to the
connecting piece (see Figure: Overview of the safety clutch).
The limit switch is set and sealed by TAKTOMAT. To monitor the controller, the signal from the limit switch can be processed
directly by a controller. When the clutch is engaged, the LED of the limit switch lights up. In the event of an overload situation,
the LED goes out.
