Mechanical protection

WARNING

Secure the area around the stator surface

Basically, electronic devices are not fail-safe. Movers can become detached from the stator surface in an uncontrolled manner due to power failure or system control faults. Secure the stator surface with a mechanical protection to prevent the mover from leaving in an uncontrolled manner.

If the stator area is not secured, the movers can leave the stator area in the event of a power failure, resulting in serious or even fatal injuries.

Once all tiles have been attached to the machine bed, a mechanical protection can be installed. Holes are provided in the side of the tile for fastening the mechanical protection. Further information can be found in chapter Tiles and Preparation.
