Pneumatic safety
•
Depressurize the system.
– Switch off the compressed air supply before working on the circuit.
– Check the system using pressure gauges to make sure that the entire circuit is fully depressurized.
– Please note that energy may be stored in reservoirs.
Further information on this issue is available in the data sheets and operating instructions
included with the components.
•
Do not exceed the maximum permissible pressure of 600 kPa (6 bar).
•
Do not switch compressed air on until all barbed tubing connections have been established and
secured.
•
Do not disconnect tubing while under pressure.
• Do not attempt to connect tubing or push-in connectors with your hands or fingers.
•
Risk of injury when switching compressed air on.
Cylinders may advance and retract automatically.
•
Risk of accident due to advancing cylinders.
– Always position pneumatic cylinders so that the piston rod's working space is unobstructed over
the entire stroke range.
– Make sure that the piston rod can't collide with any rigid components of the setup.
•
Risk of accident due to tubing flying off.
– Use shortest possible tubing connections.
– In the event that tubing flies off:
Switch off the compressed air supply immediately.
•
Pneumatic circuit setup:
Connect the devices with plastic tubing with an outside diameter of 4 or 6 mm. Push the tubing into the
push-in connector as far as it will go.
•
Switch off the compressed air supply before dismantling the circuit.
• Dismantling the pneumatic circuit
Press the blue release ring down so that the tubing can be pulled out.
•
Noise due to escaping compressed air
– Noise caused by escaping compressed air may damage your hearing. Reduce noise by using
silencers, or wear hearing protection if noise can't be avoided.
– All of the exhaust ports for the components included in the equipment set are equipped with
silencers.
Do not remove these silencers.
