These safety regulations must be read and understood before the XT10 is put into operation. Safety symbols (pictograms) The following warnings with their meanings can be found in the Gema operating instructions. The general safety precautions must also be followed as well as the regulations in the operating instructions.
4. Start-up (i.e. the execution of a particular operation) is forbidden until it has been established that the XT10 horizontal axis has been set up and wired according to the guidelines for machinery (2006/42 EG). EN 60204-1 (machine safety) must also be observed.
Product-specific safety measures XT10 Horizontal axis The XT10 Horizontal axis is a constituent part of the system and is thus integrated into the safety system of the plant. If it is to be used in a manner outside the scope of the safety concept, then corresponding measures must be taken.

02/13 Initial start-up Danger! Never stand on the horizontal axis or under the carriage of the vertical axis when it is in operation! Danger of accident! Warning: The power of the horizontal axis is much stronger than that of a human being! All axes must be secured against admittance during operation (see local regulations).
The horizontal axis has to be free of load and disconnected from mains! The XT10 horizontal axis was designed to operate with a minimum of maintenance. The motor gear box is self-lubricating and maintenance- free. Regular maintenance and inspection of the horizontal axis increases the working reliability and avoids damages, repair downtimes etc.!
02/13 Maintenance schedule Note: The following maintenance schedule is based on operation of 8 hours per day. Time interval Maintenance works weekly Blow off the outside of the horizontal axis with compressed air or clean it with a soft cloth at least once a week.
If it is necessary to replace a drive unit gearbox, the complete motor unit must be dismantled from the horizontal axis. Therefore, the horizontal axis has to be free of load and disconnected from mains. XT10 Horizontal axis - drive unit Procedure: 1. Remove the Z axis from the carriage plate 2.
For safety reasons, two people should always carry out the following maintenance work! Tensioning the drive belt XT10 Horizontal axis - Tensioning the drive belt Clamp the drive belt (23) with the clamp block (8) and tighten the screws (6)
02/13 Counter rollers If the X carriage starts to vibrate excessively during operation, especially at the reversing points, in most cases the cause lies in too much play in the carriage rollers, or even loose rollers! XT carriage - rollers In this case, proceed as follows: 1.
02/13 Decommissioning, storage Introduction Safety rules Before lifting a reciprocator off of its horizontal axes, it must be secured from falling over with a lifting device such as a crane, fork lift, etc. The point of attachment is the eye bolt (A) at the top of the reciprocator. ZA..
02/13 Storage conditions Type of storage Horizontal axes can be stacked. Storage duration If the physical conditions are maintained, the unit can be stored indefinitely. Space requirements The space requirements correspond to the sizes of the axes of motion. The load-bearing capacity of the floor should be at least 200 kg/m². There are no special requirements concerning distance to neighboring equipment.
02/13 Shut-down Decommissioning Before starting any kind of work, the axes of motion must be disconnected from the power supply: Unplug the power cable Unplug the ground cable Cleaning The running surfaces of horizontal axis must be thoroughly cleaned. Maintenance during storage Maintenance schedule No maintenance schedule is necessary.
02/13 Packing, transport Introduction This chapter describes special precautions that must be taken during internal transport of the product if: the customer himself must pack, transport and ship the product, such as to have renovations or service work carried out by the manufacturer the product must be shipped for disposal (recycling).
