(è chapter 10 “Accessories”) in the slot 5 or through homing against a fixed stop (retracted end position). The EGSL mini slide is intended to be used for the precise positioning of effective loads. Note The EGSL mini slide does not have automatic locking: When input torque is not applied, the slide can be moved freely.
Apply power to the drive motor, at first limited to low speeds and torques. Note Particles (e.g. dust, liquids, ...) which penetrate the mechanics of the EGSL can cause damage or lead to reduced performance. Make sure that the dust concentrations for the permitted IP protection class are complied with (è...
Make sure that the device is installed free of mechanical stress and sag (evenness of bearing surface ≤ 0.05 % of stroke length). Position the EGSL so that its control sections can be reached. Festo EGSL 2017-11c English...

Place the effective load so that the pull-out torque from the force (parallel to the axis of motion) and lever arm remains low. Check the necessity of adapter plates. Connection of the EGSL to Festo handling components is made possible through adapter plates (è chapter 10 “Accessories”).
(C) into the lower groove. Fig. 9 Protecting the end positions against uncontrolled overrunning: Check whether additional hardware proximity switches are necessary Observe that this reduces the effective stroke (è catalogue specifications, www.festo.com/catalogue). Festo EGSL 2017-11c English...

If proximity sensors are used as hardware limit switches: Use proximity switches with normally-closed function. The normally closed function protects the EGSL against overrunning the end position if the proximity sensor cable is broken. Avoid external influence caused by strong magnetic fields or ferrite parts in the vicinity of the proximity sensors.
(brake delay and delay times) are set in such a way that the maximum drive torque or feed force of the linear axis used is not exceeded. Use the Festo “PositioningDrives” sizing software to design the mini slide è www.festo.com. Note Block-step acceleration profiles (without smoothing) cause high peaks in the motive force that can lead to drive overload.
– nobody can place his/her hand in the path of the moving components (e.g. by means of a protective guard), – there are no foreign objects. It should not be possible to touch the EGSL until the mass has come to a complete standstill. Festo EGSL 2017-11c English...
Service and maintenance Warning Controller signals can cause the EGSL to make unintented movements. Switch off the controller before any work on the EGSL and secure the controller to prevent it from being switched on again. On cleaning and maintenance: ...
