Before operation
Protective equipment
Do not remove or bypass any protective devices. Check all protective devices before operation. Make sure that all emergency switches are present at all times and can be reached by you and other people. People could be seriously or fatally injured by unprotected machine parts.
Danger from magnetic fields
Magnetic fields on individual components of the AL8000 linear servomotors pose a risk to:
- persons with cardiac pacemakers or implanted or external defibrillators
- persons with magnetically conducting implants
- magnetic data storage devices, chip cards with magnetic strips and other electronic devices
Maintain a safety distance to all magnetic parts and prevent direct contact between magnetic parts and parts that are sensitive to interference.
Observe the requirements of BGV B 11 for electromagnetic fields (Germany) and applicable national regulations in other countries.
Danger due to magnetic attraction
The magnetic plates contain permanent magnets and attract other ferromagnetic objects. The high attractive forces cannot be controlled by hand.
Ensure a safety distance of at least 25 cm from the magnetic plate to other ferromagnetic parts, e.g. iron.
Observe the requirements of BGV B 11 for electromagnetic fields (Germany) and applicable national regulations in other countries.
Shut down and secure the machine or plant
