Description Description Column Drive section Carrier The machine is designed to vertically transport a product from one to another level. The machine consists of a column, a moveable carrier and a drive section. The carrier is suspended by two flat belts which are wound up by a motor located in the drive section. The carrier is guided by wheels running over guiding profiles in the column.
Description Working principle 4.1.1 Guiding the carrier Wheel Guiding profiles Adjusting bolts Wheel Adjusting bolts The wheels of the carrier are running over the guiding profiles of the column. The carrier can be leveled: • To tilt the carrier forward or backwards, adjust the position of the wheels (A) by adjusting the bolts (C).

Description 4.1.3 Mechanical locking device Pneumatic cylinder Extension spring Locking pin Sensor locking pin retracted The locking device is actuated using compressed air. When compressed air is fed to the cylinders, they extend and rotate the locking pin to a position where the carrier is free to move.
Description Sensors The following sensors are installed on the machine: Sensor Sensor name code Bottom level stop Bottom level low speed Top level stop Top level low speed Bottom limit switch Top limit switch When the machine is configured to stop at more than two levels, two sensors (M#, N#) per extra level are installed in the column.
Description The movement of the carrier is restricted by the limit switches S10 and S11. When one of the limit switches is triggered, the machine must stop and the mechanical locking device must extend. At each level two sensors are installed, by default B1 and B2 at bottom level and B3 and B4 at top level.
Control The control of the machine should be done from a central control system. Standard software blocks for Siemens are available at Qimarox. The conditions for the control have been laid down in the technical specifications. When these conditions are not met, the emergency stop circuit of the machine must be activated.
Qimarox or after written permission from Qimarox has been obtained. If Qimarox does not supply the product conveyor, the weight of the applied conveyor needs to be checked by Qimarox to determine the correct drive on the vertical movement. 4.6.2 Environmental specifications...

Maintenance Preventive maintenance schedule 6.2.1 Daily maintenance Item Task Action when required by the check Guards Check for visible damage. Replace damaged guards. Check if the mounting materials Place the mounting materials or are present and have been cor- correct the way in which they rectly placed.
Page 36
Maintenance Item Task Action when required by the check Sensors Check for visible damage. Replace the sensor if neces- sary. Check for correct signals. Adjust the sensor. Check for loose parts. Fasten loose parts. Clean. Refer to section 6.3. Cabling Check if all cables are fastened Connect the cables again if tightly.
Make sure that the mechanical locking device secures the position of the carrier. Remove deposit and dirt by hand. Report any damage to the technically responsible person or to Qimarox and make sure that any damage is remedied before restarting the machine.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Vertical conveyor Problem Possible cause Solution The motor does not run. Electrical failure. Remedy the electrical failure.

Sensors on carrier PRmk9 Seesaw sensor The carrier of the PRmk9 is suspended by two belts. Both belts are attached to a seesaw to distribute the load over the belts evenly. If a belt fails the seesaw is pulled out of balance, which removes the seesaw out of the sensing range of the sensor.
Page 61
Seesaw sensor =D+D-B1 Seesaw Tilting sensor When the carrier is moving down while there is an object below it, this can cause the carrier to tilt. To prevent damage to the machine and surroundings, the machine is equipped with a sensor to detect this tilting.
