Strong magnetic field
Risk of injury from strong magnetic fields in areas marked with this hazard
symbol.
Workpiece pallets generate a strong magnetic field when they are not
mounted to the linear motor system.
- This strong magnetic field can be harmful to persons with pacemakers and
other medical implants.
- The magnetic field of the ActiveMover linear motor system can cause
magnetic materials to move, which may result in flying objects or crushing/
dismemberment.
- Electronic equipment and magnetic data carriers can be affected by the magnetic
field.
Persons with pacemakers or other medical implants should maintain a min.
„
distance of 30 cm between the implant and the workpiece pallet.
Persons with pacemakers or other medical implants should not perform
„
maintenance on or service the product.
Keep metallic objects away from the workpiece pallets and the section/curve
„
modules.
When workpiece pallets are unmounted, keep their protection plates on them.
„
For mounting instructions, see Page 77.
Also follow the safety instructions in Section "General safety instructions for
„
magnets" on page 33.
What to do in case of an accident involving permanent magnets
Whenever you are working with permanent magnets, have the following emergency
tools on hand to free trapped body parts (e.g. finger, hand, arm, etc.) in case of an
accident:
• Hammer made of nonmagnetic material (e.g. brass)
• Min. 2 wedges with a wedge angle of approx. 10 - 15° made of nonmagnetic
material, such as brass, hardwood, etc. for driving into the gap.
In case of an accident:
Remain calm.
„
If the machine is live, disconnect it from power (emergency off switch).
„
Administer FIRST AID or call in appropriate aid (e.g. emergency physician).
„
„ Use the emergency tools to separate the contacting parts to free the trapped
body part (e.g. finger, hand, foot, etc.).
To do this, use the hammer to drive the wedges into the gap between the parts
to free the trapped body part.
