technical data High-speed lifter Zip Master handling
Operation and inspection procedures
This section describes general handling of Zip Master.
For details, please refer to Instruction Manuals included with the product.
driving
- - Always observe allowable load, allowable overhang load, and allowable lifting speed when using Zip Master. Exceeding these limits may result in damage to the main body or the transported item falling.
- ・Never use the lifter outside of the stroke range, including coasting, under any circumstances. Deviation from the stroke range may result in damage to the equipment. Do not subject the lifter to any impact under any circumstances.
- - Do not allow dust, chips, or other foreign matter to adhere to or get mixed into Zip Chain, moving parts, or detectors. These accelerate wear and tear, leading to serious accidents such as chain breakage and damage to moving parts. Be sure to take measures to prevent foreign matter from entering the lifter body. In addition, install a safety fence around the lifter to prevent people from entering the space below the top frame.
- - Design the sequence circuit so that the motor's holding brake is always activated to prevent the load from dropping when the motor is stopped.
- ・Do not stop the product by hitting it against something under any circumstances. Doing so may cause serious damage to the inside of the product.
- ・The device has some hot spots. Be careful not to touch them with your hands or body, as you may get burned.
- If any abnormality occurs, immediately stop operation to avoid risk of electric shock, injury, or fire.
