7.1 Transportation of assemblies and components
The following measures are to be taken before assemblies and individual com-
ponents are transported:
Protect components against corrosion (>>> 13.2 "Storage" page 104)
Pack motors and gear units in wooden cases with protection against mois-
ture and transport damage.
Wrap components in PVC foil or waxed paper, with desiccant if necessary.
Provide electrical components with shock-resistant and break-proof pack-
ing.
Mark transport cases and packing according to the sensitivity of their contents
(e.g. TOP, FRAGILE, DO NOT BEND) and attach labels to ensure correct
transportation (e.g. indication of center of gravity). In addition to these meas-
ures, the regulations and conditions of the company entrusted with the trans-
portation are to be observed.
7.2 Transportation of beams
Prior to transportation the beam of the linear unit must be separated from all
its individual assemblies and components that are to be transported separate-
ly. If a carriage is installed on the beam, it must be ensured that it is in the mid-
dle of the beam and that it cannot move.
Description The beam can be transported by fork lift truck or using a crane.
7.2.1 Transportation by fork lift truck
Description For transportation by fork lift truck (>>> Fig. 7-1), the beam must be picked up
at its center of gravity in order to prevent it from toppling.
Caution!
Risk of injury and damage to property resulting from unsuitable handling
equipment. Only use handling equipment with a sufficient load-bearing ca-
pacity. The beam must always be picked up over the center of gravity.
