13 Decommissioning, storage and disposal
13.1 Decommissioning
Description This section describes all the work required for decommissioning the linear
unit if the linear unit is to be removed from the system. After decommissioning,
it is prepared for storage or for transportation to a different location.
Following its removal, the linear unit can be transported by means of transport
tackle and crane or by fork lift truck. For transportation, the beam must be
picked up over its center of gravity in order to prevent tilting.
Preconditions
The removal site must be accessible with a crane or with a fork lift truck for
transportation.
There is no hazard posed by system components.
Procedure 1. Secure the linear unit.
2. Move the carriage (>>> Fig. 13-1) to the middle of the beam and secure it
so that it cannot be moved unintentionally.
3. Remove the robot in accordance with the operating instructions.
4. Release and unplug the equipotential bonding (ground conductor) on the
carriage.
5. Remove the energy supply system; see Section (>>> 8.7 "Removing the
energy supply system" page 64).
6. Release and unplug connectors XM7 and XP7.
7. Fully remove the screwed connections from the mounting bases.
8. Attach the lifting tackle at four places, or pick up the beams with a fork lift
truck.
9. Lift off the beam and transport it away. In the case of a multi-piece beam,
the beam sections must be transported individually.
10. Prepare the beam for storage.
Warning!
Unintentional motion of the robot and the linear unit can result in danger to
persons and materials. If the robot and the linear unit have reached their dis-
assembly position, shut down the system and take measures to prevent it
from being switched on again unintentionally. If several robots or linear units
are in a system, these must also be switched off and secured against being
switched on again unintentionally.
