  • Page 20 The machine is intended to be integrated into an automated production line. Qimarox has attempted to protect against as many hazards as possible, either though inherent safe design or by shielding off the dangers. Machine users should be aware of the following residual risks before working with the machine.
  • Page 21 Description General overview The machine consists of the following components: Figure 6 : General overview The machine is designed to vertically transport a product from one level to another. The machine consists of a column (A), a moveable carrier (B) and a gearmotor (C). The carrier is attached to a timing belt which is driven by the gearmotor.
  • Page 22 Working principle 4.2.1 Reference procedure Before starting the machine make sure the machine is empty. When starting the machine, a reference procedure is required. During this procedure the carrier moves up or down to the reference sensor (A). When this sensor detects the carrier, the resolver value is set, and the machine is ready to run.

  • Page 26 CAUTION The Prorunner PR2 should always be controlled by a frequency inverter for acceleration/deceleration. A breaking resistor is required to dispense the energy generated by the gearmotor when travelling down. If there is no braking resistor the energy causes too high voltage inside the frequency inverter.
