Operation

6 Operation
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.
If a linear unit is always used at the same site with short strokes (<100 mm) only, sufficient
lubrication is not always ensured. In this case, make the unit move over the entire positioning
range of the guide system at regular intervals after approx. 250 to 500 double strokes.
During operation occasionally visually inspect the linear unit to ensure that it is working
properly.
Operating and supervising staff are obliged to check the linear units and the machines at least
once per shift to detect any external signs of damage or faults. Report immediately any
changes (including operating performance) that impair safety.

Malfunctioning

If the linear unit malfunctions, qualified staff must check the operating sequences and repeat
start-up if necessary. In particular, follow the instructions in Chapter 5 "Initial start-up" to
prevent injuries and damage.
