Notes about System Disassembly

The Planar Motor System should be disassembled into its individual components (e.g. Flyways, PMCs, XBots, etc.) for proper recycling. The individual components should not be disassembled into their parts.

  • Keep the machine voltage-free.

  • Safely disconnect all power supply cables from the machine.

  • The machine must be at a standstill and, if necessary, cooled down.

Stored energy sources can result in injury!

  • Before disassembly, all power supply cables must be disconnected from the machine.

  • Be mindful of stored energy sources (e.g. strong magnetic fields) that exist after the Planar Motor System is shut down.

  • Disassembly is only permitted to be carried out by qualified and authorized personnel

Danger due to improper disassembly:

  • Disassembly is only permitted to be carried out by qualified personnel.

  • For disassembly, only hoisting devices and load-handling equipment that comply with legal regulations are permitted to be used.

  • Hoisting devices, load-handling equipment and means of transport must have sufficient load-bearing capacity and safety.

  • There is a risk of being crushed when lifting loads.

  • Do not step under suspended loads. Staying under a suspended load can result in death.

  • Use mechanical lifting equipment (e.g. crane, forklift) to lift loads over 25 kg.

  • Secure loads to the designated attachment points.

  • Do not place the load-handling equipment on sharp edges and corners, and do not knot or twist it.

  • Observe local fire protection regulations. When cutting materials, do not work with welding equipment or devices that produce sparks.

  • There is a fire hazard due to plastic parts.

  • If necessary, fasteners such as dowels and screw anchors must be removed.

  • There is a tripping hazard!
