Operation
Warning
Moveable masses can cause personal injury and material damage.
• Make sure that:
– nobody can place his/her hand in the path of the moving components
(e.g. through a protective guard),
– there are no foreign objects in the path of the moving components.
It should not be possible to touch the ELGA until the mass has come to a complete
standstill.
Note
When the motor is dismantled (e.g. when turning the
motor around), the reference position is lost.
• Start homing (
order to set the new reference position.

Maintenance and care
Warning
Uncontrolled moving masses can cause personal injury and material damage (risk of
crushing).
If a toothed belt breaks in combination with a vertically or diagonally installed ELGA, the
work mass will fall down.
• In case of signs of wear, return the ELGA to Festo for repair.
Controller signals can cause the ELGA to make unintended movements.
• Switch off the controller for all maintenance work on the ELGA and secure it to pre-
vent it from being switched back on unintentionally.
Cleaning and maintenance:
• Clean the ELGA as required with a soft cloth.
Any media which will not damage the material may be used as cleaning agents.
• For ELGA-TB-...-PO, check the installation space of the guide and toothed belt for foreign objects
and remove these if present.
