distributed by Product description As an option, the linear unit can be equipped with accessories such as a cover, screw supports, inductive or mechanical limit switches and other fittings(see section 6.3). The effective range can be flexibly configured. Multiple linear units of the Alpha, Beta or Delta type can be arranged two-dimensionally (2 axes) or three-dimensionally (3 axes).
distributed by Transportation and storage Transportation and storage The mechanical linear unit is a precision item. Its mechanism may be damaged by heavy jolting, resulting in impairment of its functions. Risk of damage by heavy jolting or bending! Transport the assembled linear unit only with the transit protection fitted.
distributed by Installation and adjustment Installation and adjustment The linear unit can be attached by the following methods: On mounting rails By screws inserted into the sliding blocks By screws inserted into the factory-fitted tapped hole rails ...
distributed by Installation and adjustment Screwing the linear unit into place from below Figure 4: Sliding blocks (1) in the groove on the underside of the base profile Attach the linear unit by the fixing screws from below using the sliding blocks or the tapped hole rails in the aluminium base profile (figure 3).
distributed by Installation and adjustment 6.3.1 Setting the positions of the inductive limit switches The function of inductive proximity switches is to shut down the electric drive before the mechanical end position is reached. The necessary braking distance (Δ B) depends on the velocity and deceleration of the carriage.
distributed by Installation and adjustment 6.3.2 Setting the positions of the mechanical limit switches Mechanical safety limit switches (NC contacts) must be used if a hazard is posed to personnel as soon as the electric drive fails to shut down. The drive may only be started up when all limit switches are connected and correctly set! A combination with inductive proximity switches is possible.
distributed by Installation and adjustment Procedure Connect the power to the limit switches. Slacken the bracket fixing screw (figure 5). Run the carriage as far as the safety zone. Move the limit switch until it trips. Tighten the bracket fixing screw. Check the correct position of the limit switch: Move the carriage manually and observe the switching operation.

distributed by Start-up Start-up Risk of personal injury or damage to other system components caused by rapid linear motion of the transport carrier, caused by thrown loads. Only authorised specialist personnel may start up the linear unit. Risk of crushing due to incorrect direction of movement of the transport devices.
distributed by Operation Operation The drive motor can heat up considerably during operation. In this case, refer to the operating instructions supplied for the drive motor. In addition, hazards can occur due to noise, tilting and falling, failure to observe ergonomic principles, and the surroundings in which the unit is used.
distributed by Maintenance 10 Maintenance Around all rotating parts, e.g. GX shaft and around the toothed belt (when used without cover band), there is a risk of being pulled in, and of clothing or body parts being caught up and trapped. There is also a risk of crushing around the moving carriage.
