Important notes

Installation of the machine bed must be complete before installing the linear motor components. The rails must be mounted on the machine bed and aligned. The carriage must be equipped with bearings, dampers and the required lines so that the proper movement of the carriage over the track is ensured.

WARNING

Damage due to uncontrolled magnetic attractive forces

The sequence specified in this introduction for the installation must be followed. A different sequence can give rise to dangerous situations, and can lead to damage resulting from uncontrolled magnetic attraction.

Important notes 1:

Damage due to faulty water cooling unit

If a water cooling unit is to be used, read please the section entitled Installation of the water cooling.

NOTICE

Important notes 2:

Deadly danger due to the magnetic fields of the linear motor!

The AL2xxx linear motors are equipped with permanent magnets in the magnetic plate. Strong magnetic fields are present here. In the power-off state, the magnetic field strength of the motors results exclusively from the magnetic fields of the secondary part.

There is a particular danger for:

people fitted with cardiac pacemakers
(The cardiac pacemaker can be switched to test mode and thus cause a cardiac arrest!)

People with implanted defibrillators
(The defibrillators can be rendered inoperative by the magnetic field!)

Note

Loss of data due to magnetic fields!

-- Magnetic data storage devices

-- Chip cards with magnetic strips and

-- Electronic devices can be demagnetized by magnetic fields.
There is a risk of the loss of data.

The objects listed above and loose-lying ferromagnetic objects may not be brought any closer than 1 m to the magnetic plates.
The requirements in BGV B 11 applying to magnetic fields and the national regulations applicable in other countries must be observed.

CAUTION

Damage due to a magnetic field that is not neutralized

Use the magnetic plates only when they are covered by the protective plates that reduce the magnetic field.

CAUTION

Damage during dismantling due to the magnetic field

Make sure that the magnetic plates are fastened in your machine before removing the protective plates.
Put the protective plates back onto the magnetic plates before dismantling them.
Do not bring any soft-magnetic objects (iron) closer than 10 cm to the magnetic side of the magnetic plates.
