Note the following regarding attachments on the roll star / output flange: • Maximum weight moved (according to TAKTOMAT project planning). • Minimum time until positioning (according to TAKTOMAT project planning). • Maximum overhang (tipping moment) (according to TAKTOMAT project planning).
The cylinder is unable to accelerate and decelerate the accumulated load gently. As a result, high accelerations occur, which impact the mechanics. Inching may only be carried out with a suitable universal controller. A suitable controller is, for example, the TIC controller (TAKTOMAT Indexing Controller). Emergency stop The emergency stop stops the movement of the roll star / output flange immediately.
