Initial start-up

The WIESEL BASELine mechanical linear unit can produce linear movement with great
force. Attachments on the power bridges can cause injuries, e.g. crushing of limbs or damage
due to collision with other machine parts.
Therefore, be extremely careful during start-up.
When the linear unit accelerates or breaks, the load being transported can become loose and
flung away.
Compare the manufacturer's specifications for the supports used with the mass and
acceleration values.
It is forbidden to start up the linear units until it has been ensured that the machine or plant in
which it has been installed complies with the regulations in the EU Machine Directive, the
harmonized standards, European standards or the corresponding national standards.
Proper connections are essential to comply with the law on the electromagnetic
compatibility of the machines. Please therefore observe Standards EN 50 081-2 and
EN 50 082-2 to avoid electromagnetic interference.
The electrical installation must be done by a qualified EMC technician.
Follow the instructions in Chapter 4 "Assembly" for safe and proper preparation of your linear
unit for the initial start-up.
Before the initial start-up, convince yourself that the inductive and/or mechanical limit
switches work properly. First, allow the assembled linear unit to run along the entire travel
path several times at such a slow speed that you can stop it in good time before any collision.
Do not start up the system until you have ensured that there is no risk of collision
when the maximum stroke has been overrun.
