2.0.0 Module Information 2.1.0 Transport and storage (packing and unpacking) CAUTION The PS module is packed in the original cardboard boxe, if the module is not handled properly it may fall out of the box when unpacking and cause injuries to limbs or squeeze your fingers. NOTE Consider please! With each module security is settled a technical newspaper.
2.1.1 Possibilities of fastening the PS 25/32 Depending on the application either the base body or the slide can be mounted rigidly. Installation of base body from below Mounting of gantry model Use the centering bushings included in the scope of supply to determine the position and insert these bushings in the opposite borings of the mounting grid.
2.1.2 Hole matrix and centering bushings Hole matrix at the PS 25/32 High precisions slide PS 25/PS32 Hole matrix 48x48 mm (30x30 mm) Thead / bore hole (M4) Centering Ø 9x4 mm (Ø 7x3 mm) bushings (H7) Use the centering bushings included in the scope of supply for positioning and insert these centering bushings in the diagonally opposite bore holes of the mounting grid.
Safety instructions Modifications on the PS 25/32 module that are not described in these Montage Instructions or have not been approved in writing by Afag Automation AG are not permitted. In case of improper changes or assembly, installation, operation and maintenance or repairs Afag rejects all liability.
The PS 25/32 High precision slide can be installed in the horizontal or vertical position. Modifications on the PS 25/32 High precision slide that are not described in these Montage Instructions or have not been approved in writing by Afag Automation AG are not permitted. In case of improper changes or assembly, installation, operation, maintenance or repairs, Afag Automation AG rejects all liability.
3.1.3 Description of the module Body base Counterpart (IProximity switch) Slids Shock absorber Proximity switch holder Counterpart (Shock absorber) Adjusting stop screw The PS 25/32 consists of the base body (1) with pneumatic connections and cylinder and the slide (2). The limit positions are set by a proximity switch holder (3) and the corresponding counterpart (8).
Modifications on the module that are not described in these Montage Instructions or have not been approved in writing by Afag are not permitted. In case of inexpert changes or improper assembly, installation, operation, maintenance or repairs, Afag rejects all liability.
Afag AG. *First go in event When repairs are carried out by the customer without prior training or instruction by Afag automation AG the warranty will become void. No additional claims can be entertained. 3.1.7 Areas of application The PS 25/32 High precision slides are exclusively designed for the linear movement of load capacities of up to 10 –...
3.2.3 Pneumatic connection PS Module The pneumatic connection PS 25 = M5; (PS 32 = G 1/8“) are located on the left and right side of the base body. Pneumatic connections that are not used must be closed airtight with the locking screws included in the scope of supply. Compressed air connection One-way restrictor Maintenance unit...
3.2.4 Preparation for start-up Before commissioning the shock absorber with stopper and the initiator holder must be set in such a way that the stroke provided is attenuated correctly. Commissioning Ventilate the total system slowly. Note the permissible values (see catalogue) regarding: useful load motion frequency moment loads on the guide system...
3.2.5 Setting the shock absorbers and the stop screw Inside installation Outside installation (by strocke100 mm) The sensor holder is pulled along when the shock absorber is adjust Sensor is fastened to the circumference by means of a tensioning nut (no grub screw) Fine adjustment of the shock absorber via Shock absorber and sensor...
3.2.6 Inquiry of the sensor Clamping proximity switches are used to query the PS 25/32 stop positions. Polling of the stop positions is monitored by an LED on the initiator. If the LED switch status does not change during inquiry of the stop positions the sensor is faulty and must be replaced.

3.2.8 Optional module with intermediate stop ZA-PS The precision slides PS 25 / 32 can be retrofitted with the ZA-PS 25 / 32. The ZA intermediate positions for the PS modules distinguish themselves through their compact size and their design which is adapted to the module. This intermediate stop can be fitted onto the slide plate for extending and retracting depending on the module stroke length.

The stopper angle of contact Insert the 4 allen screw for the stopper angle included in the accessories and tighten screw. ZA-shock absorber and stop screw Turn shock absorber and stop screw through 180° so that they act on the catch of the intermediate stop.
3.3.1 Fine adjustment of the stop screw with shock absorber Range of adjustment for shock absorber and stop screw 20 mm (PS 25/32) Rotating the ZA cylinder (Air connection upside) Undo the 4 screws at the cylinder and pull cylinder backward until it can rotated through 180°.

4.0.0 Maintenance instructions 4.1.0 Maintenance and servicing of the PS 25/32 High-precision slide CAUTION The module may only be disassembled when the system is aerated and deactivated. If pneumatic connections are disconnected when they are under pressure, this may result in serious personal injury due to fast movements of moving parts.
Open guides and piston rods should be covered with a grease layer to avoid formation of rust. Recommendation: Clean and grease once a month! Afag standard: - Staburax NBU8EP (flat guides) - Blasolube 301 (piston rods) PS 25-32-OI-vers. 3.5 gb.21.07.14.docx...
