The Lexium PAS4•B-Series is designed for horizontal installation particularly, but can also be mounted in other orientations. For special applications, contact your local Schneider Electric service representative.
oTake into account the mass of the axis that may act as a load, depending on the mounting position (vertical / tilted).
oUse only the axis body to mount the axis to the frame and ensure that the carriage is clear of any other parts and do not interfere with the operation of the machine.
The precision of the axis in the application is also determined by the frame. Deformations of the frame cause imprecisions on the Tool Center Point (TCP).
General Requirements Regarding the Frame
The frame must not only withstand permanently the forces and torques described below, but also have sufficient stiffness so that the deformations and vibrations which occur do not lead to any major deviations on the TCP. Ensure a sufficient transverse bracing in the frame.
Note the forces and torques to be taken up by the frame during normal operation:
oConsider that forces and torques operating the frame change when you modify the stroke length.
oThe configuration of the axis mechanism, the speed, the acceleration, as well as the connected payload, affect the total energy, and may possibly cause damage.
NOTE: Fasten the axis with screws of property class 8.8 or greater. For more information, refer to the respective dimensional drawing in Mechanical Data.

CRUSHING, SHEARING, CUTTING AND IMPACT INJURY |
|
oThe axis must be operated only within an enclosure. oOpen or enter the enclosure for cleaning and maintenance purposes only. oDesign the enclosure such that it withstands an impact by the axis and that it resists ejected parts from escaping the zone of operation. oDesign the enclosure such that the axis is safely deactivated as soon as a person enters the zone of operation of the axis. oAll barriers, protective doors, contact mats, light barriers, and so on, must be configured correctly and enabled whenever the axis mechanics are under power. oDefine the clearance distance to the zone of operation of the axis such that operational staff do not have access to, nor can be enclosed in, the axis mechanics zone of operation. oDesign the enclosure to account for the maximum possible travel paths of the axis; that is, the maximum path until the hardware safety system limits as well as the additional run-on paths, in case of a power interruption. |

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage. |
Interference Contours in the Enclosure
Depending on the axis type, a sufficient freedom of movement of the moving parts must be ensured during the construction of the axis enclosure. Take into account the required space for the movement of the corresponding axis.
For more information, refer to the respective dimensional drawing in Mechanical Data.
For detailed information about the interference areas caused by axis motions, refer to the 3D-CAD data on the Schneider Electric homepage (www.schneider-electric.com) or contact your local Schneider Electric service representative.
