• 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 (WT) are both loaded and unloaded.
Signifi cantly different weights may require special measures to avoid malfunctions.
This applies to:
• The permitted accumulation length before stop gates.
• Damper functionality.
• Dampened stop gates.
9.1.4
Environmental factors
• Our products are resistant to many media that are commonly found
in manufacturing, such as water, mineral oil, grease and detergents.
Contact your Rexroth representative if you have any doubts about resistance
to specifi c chemicals, such as test oil, doped oils, aggressive cleaning agents,
solvents or brake fl uid.
• Avoid prolonged contact with highly reactive acidic or alkaline materials.
• Contamination can greatly increase wear – specifi cally from abrasive media from
the surrounding area, such as sand and silicates, e.g. from construction as
well as machining processes in the transfer system (e.g. welding beads,
pumice dust, glass shards, chips, waste parts, etc.). Maintenance intervals
should be signifi cantly shortened under these circumstances.
• Resistance to media and contamination does not mean that functional safety is
guaranteed in every case.
– Liquids that thicken as they evaporate and become highly viscous or
adhesive (sticky) can lead to malfunctions.
– If they get carried onto systems with rollers, media which have lubricating
properties can lead to a reduction in the drive power that is transmitted
via friction.
In such instances, special care must be taken when planning the system,
and the maintenance intervals must be correspondingly shortened.
