Owner's manual

SECTION 1: General Information (continued)

1.2.4. Reducers should be of minimum backlash variety and directly coupled with a

backlash-free connection. If line shafts are used, they must be sized for severe

reversing loads.

1.2.5. When using chain or belt drives, incorporate an idler to eliminate any slack. (Do

not use spring-loaded idlers.) As the cam motion stops and starts, any slack in

the chain changes sides. It is necessary to maintain a constant speed of the input

shaft. Loose belts or chains will allow inertial over-run that may cause damage to

the cam followers. Belts and chains must be sized for severe reversing loads.

1.2.6. Industrial Motion Control does not provide guarding for other moving parts, such

as sprockets, handwheels, switch cams, etc. Numerous pinch points do exist on

this equipment and the possibility exists of being struck by a moving part. Since

this product is expected to become part of a further developed machine, it is the

customer’s responsibility to add safety fencing, guarding, light curtains or other

protection devices, as necessary, to protect personnel and property.

NOTE: In the event the unit is damaged, contact Industrial Motion Control’s

Wheeling factory or your local representative, for proper reconditioning or

repair (see sections 1.5 Requesting Service or 1.6 Returning a Unit for Repair).

1.3. Operating Environment – This machine is intended to operate in a clean environment.

Excessive coolant, chips, dust, dirt or debris can adversely affect its performance and life.

If this machine does operate in a dirty environment periodic cleaning must be practiced

and careful inspection of seals and accessories is necessary.

1.3.1. For extended storage, remove vents and fill with proper oil. (Refer to Section 6)
