9.1 Information on operation

9.1.1

Wear

• Individual components are subject to unavoidable wear by their very nature.
Constructive measures and the selection of materials help ensure functional
safety over the full service life. However, wear is also dependent on the
operating, maintenance and ambient conditions at the place of use (resistance,
contamination).
• Overloading the conveyor sections can cause the conveyor medium to
malfunction and lead to the premature breakdown of motors and gears.
• If pneumatically activated components are overloaded, it is not possible to
guarantee their function.
9.1.2

Measures to reduce wear

The following obvious measures will reduce wear:
• Switch off the conveyor section during line downtime, e.g. during breaks, at night
and on weekends.
• Do not select a higher speed for the conveyor section than that required for the
corresponding function.
• Avoid contamination caused by abrasive media, reduce contamination by cleaning
on a regular basis.
9.1.3

Loading the workpiece pallet

The modular units are designed and tested under the assumption that the
workpiece pallets will not all have the same weight during one cycle on one
conveyor section. Workpiece pallets are both loaded and unloaded.
Significantly different weights may require special measures to avoid malfunctions.
This applies to:
• The permitted congestion length before stop gates.
• Damper functionality.
• Dampened stop gates.
