Operation - Festo EGSL Instrucciones De Utilizacion

EGSL
1. Check travel
Determining the direction
of movement of the motor
Fig. 12: Definitions
1. Start check travel limited to low dynamics.
In spite of equal control, motors of the same type sometimes turn in the
opposite direction due to the circuitry.
The EGSL has a clockwise-rotating spindle: When the drive shaft is rotated
clockwise, the slide moves in the direction of the motor.
2. Start homing in accordance with the operating instructions for your motor
drive system limited to low dynamics (max. speed: 10 mm/s):
– up to the reference switch or
– up to the retracted end position at the fixed stop.
For this, the rubber buffer aB in the slide must be removed.
3. Start a test run and limit it to low dynamic response.
4. Check whether the EGSL fulfils the following requirements:
– The slide must be able to move through the complete intended positioning
cycle.
– The slide must stop as soon as it reaches a limit switch.
5. If the proximity sensors do not respond:
è chapter 11 "Eliminating malfunctions" and the operating instructions for
the proximity switches.

Operation

Warning
Moveable masses can cause personal injury and material damage.
• Make sure that, in the travel range,
– nobody can place his/her hand in the path of the moving components
(e.g. by means of a protective guard),
– there are no foreign objects.
It should not be possible to touch the EGSL until the mass has come to a
complete standstill.
