MAS-...
6 Commissioning
Warning
S Ensure that, in the movement range of
the MAS-...:
– no-one stands under the moving mass
(e.g. by using protective guards)
– there are no foreign objects present.
The MAS-... should only be touched once
the mass is in a stable position.
Note
Forces that are too high will trigger the MAS-... safety functions.
S Ensure that the forces produced are within the permitted range (see the
Technical Data). If the maximum permitted force is exceeded, the com-
pressed air will leak from the MAS-... connection flange.
If the maximum permitted forces are complied with, then the MAS-... is ready
for use (provided that the MAS-... was not damaged by the overload).
S
Start a test run at a low working frequency as follows:
1. 1. Slowly pressurize the muscle (e.g. with the safety
start-up valve).
2. Make sure on the MAS-... that:
– the required motion sequence is observed
– contraction is within the permitted limits
(max. 25% of the rated length on the MAS-40-...;
max. 20% of the rated length on the MAS-20-...
and MAS-10-....)
– the required force is reached / the load is lifted
– there is no leakage / no blowing can be heard
S
Conclude the test run.
S
Exhaust the MAS-... .
