5 Installation Installation General Notes on Installation NOTICE Unwanted changes in position with vertical mounting! If the load exceeds the self-locking of the drive when the L-402 is mounted vertically, unintentional changes in the position of the motion platform will occur. Unwanted changes in the position of the motion platform can damage the drive, the load or the environment.
5 Installation INFORMATION The use of locating pins during mounting reduces deviations from the ideal alignment of the stage. If possible, simulate the positioner motions with a mounted load or make suitable calculations to detect collisions or unfavorable center of gravity constellations. ...

5 Installation Affixing the Load to the L-402 NOTICE Impermissibly high load on the L-402! An impermissible high load impairs the motion of the motion platform and can damage the L- 402. When considering the mass and mounting method of the load, pay attention to the specified maximum permissible forces, that are permitted to act on the motion platform (p.
5 Installation Connecting the L-402 to a Controller NOTICE Damage if an incorrect controller or motor cable is connected! Connecting the L-402 to an unsuitable controller or using an unsuitable motor cable can cause damage to the L-402 or controller. ...
6 Start-Up Start-Up General Notes on Start-Up CAUTION Risk of crushing by moving parts! There is a risk of minor injury from crushing between the moving parts of the L-402 or the load and a fixed part or obstacle. Use protective structures to keep limbs away from areas in which they could be caught by moving parts.
6 Start-Up NOTICE Damage or considerable wear due to high accelerations! High accelerations can cause damage to or considerable wear on the mechanical system. Stop the motion immediately if a controller malfunction occurs. Ensure that the end of the travel range is approached at low velocity. ...
7 Maintenance Maintenance General Notes on Maintenance NOTICE Damage due to improper maintenance! Improper maintenance can result in misalignment and failure of the L-402. Only loosen screws according to the instructions in this manual. Performing a Maintenance Run Depending on the operating conditions and the period of use of the L-402, the following maintenance measures are required: Maintenance run The maintenance run serves to distribute the existing lubricant.
7 Maintenance Cleaning the L-402 If necessary, clean the surfaces of the L-402 with a cloth that is dampened with a mild cleanser or disinfectant.
