9 Operation

Hot electric motor surfaces during operation!
Possible burns if the hot surfaces (over 65°C) are touched.
Provide appropriate safety devices to seal off the motors.
Let the system cool off for at least 30 min. before performing any maintenance
or repair work.
Belt section malfunction in reverse operation
Operating the belt section exclusively contrary to the preferred direction
(workpiece pallet travelling towards drive head) causes the chain tensioner to fail
and can lead to a crash. There is a danger of damage to property.
Comply with the preferred direction (workpiece pallet travelling towards
the drive head).
If used exclusively in sliding operation, change the conveyor direction after every
1000 h for one chain circuit to ensure the proper function of the chain tensioner.
Wear due to accumulation on the connection roller
Accumulation on the connection roller (BS 2/C-H, ...R-H, ...R-V) leads to increased
wear on the workpiece pallet. There is a danger of damage to property.
Avoid accumulation on the connection roller.

9.1 Notes on operation

9.1.1

Wear

• Wear is caused by the basic principle of this system and cannot be avoided
on individual components. By taking constructive measures and selecting proper
materials we strive to ensure that functional safety lasts for the lifetime of the
system. However, wear depends on the operating, maintenance, and ambient
conditions of the system and the location (resistance, contamination).
• Overloading the conveyor sections may damage the conveying medium and cause
the motor and gears to fail.
• Function cannot be guaranteed if the pneumatic components are overloaded.
9.1.2

Measures to reduce wear

The following measures reduce wear:
• Switch off conveyor sections when the system is not running, e.g. during breaks,
over night, on the weekend.
• Only select speeds that correspond with the particular function.
• Especially important: Avoid contamination by abrasive media;
reduce contamination through regular cleaning.
