7.3 Inspection
General
A thorough inspection of the FlexPLP IRPLP 220 should be done at least once a
year.
All covers removed, clean the unit with a lint free cloth.
Emergency stop
To check the emergency stop function, the unit must be stationary. Press the
emergency stop button and perform the procedure for restart after an emergency
stop as detailed in the controller documentation.
Electrical functions
Test all the electrical functions.
Make sure that each carriage can reach the limits of its stroke.
Abnormal noise
Look for any abnormal noise, e.g., bearing noise.
Cables
Inspect all cables. If a cable is damaged due to wear or pinching, replace it. If a
cable rubs against sharp edges, extend the cable so that it hangs freely.
Contacts
Make sure that all connectors are properly connected.
Cable chain
Check the condition of the cable chain and in particular the state of the mechanical
links and the fastening points (carriage and base plate).

CAUTION
Before any intervention on the mechanical and electrical components, all power
supplies to FlexPLP IRPLP 220 as well as to other machines within the danger
zone must be turned off. Remember to go first through the inspections that
require the system to be live (e.g., test of all electrical functions and search for
abnormal noise).
