Setting Up The Work Piece; Maximum Weights For Swing-Arm Models - Timken VHIN 10 Mode D'emploi

Setting up the Work Piece

Failure to observe the following warnings could create
a risk of death or serious injury.
• Use appropriate hoisting equipment for heavy components
and yokes. The manual lifting of heavy objects is a common
cause of injury.
• The weight of the work-piece should not exceed the
maximum weight shown in section 5.2 below, and in the
technical data (Appendix 1) at the back of the manual.
Exceeding these limits may result in catastrophic equipment
failure leading to personal injury.
• If heater is equipped with sliding horizontal supports,
always secure these with the designated safety pin, in
either the 'in' or the 'out' position. Unexpected movement of
the workpiece may lead to personal injury.
• Ensure that the mains cable cannot come into contact
with the work piece. Damage to the cable may result in
electrocution.
• Never support components with a metal cable or have any
hanging in the proximity of the magnetic field. Extremely
high currents can flow through the cable causing it to heat
up quickly, resulting in a risk of burning.
The work piece can be set up in two different ways:
Yoke passing through the work
piece
WARNING
Yoke in the horizontal position
(The bore is large enough for the pole
to pass through it. The work piece in
this example is shown resting on the
horizontal supports).
5.1. Setting up the work piece where the
yoke passes through it
Make sure that the
bright sides are
greased sufficiently
(improve contact,
avoid excessive
vibration) and are
aligned on the top
of poles.
Always choose a
yoke, which fills
the bore of the
bearings as fully
as possible. You
can even combine
2 yokes - this
helps to heat more
quickly & evenly.
• For Swing Arm Yokes: Swing out yoke towards the front of
the heater until it falls in the positioning lock of the hinge
construction. Slide the workpiece over the yoke till it lies in
the middle of the yoke and swing the yoke incl. Work piece
back on top of the poles.
• Always make sure that the workpiece has no direct contact
with the plastic housing of the heater.
• When heating cycle is ready, follow the above instructions
in opposite order to take of the heated work piece. Wear
protective clothing like heat resistant gloves because the
workpiece is hot now. (Supplied gloves are suitable for 150°
C (302° F).
• Always treat yokes carefully falling, jolting, etc, can damage
them. Always put the yoke away immediately after use.
