Fan [+]

WARNING

Do not touch tiles without personal protective equipment

Touch hot tiles only with special thermal gloves. Avoid prolonged contact with hot components.

Hot components can cause severe burns to body parts and limbs.

Notice

Avoid heat build-up on tiles

Observe the specifications for ambient and operating temperatures and tile loads. Ensure that there is sufficient clearance below the machine bed or that the tiles are adequately ventilated.

Insufficient cooling can cause damage to components due to heat accumulation.

Beckhoff recommends mounting a fan [+] on tiles in situations where movers experience strong acceleration, lift or tilt, in order to dissipate heat in a targeted manner and to avoid heat accumulation.
