Safety
Intended Use
The hexapod and controller are labratory de-
vices as defined by DIN EN 61010-1. They are in-
tended for indoor use and use in an environ-
ment that is free of dirt, oil, and lubricants.
The hexapod is intended for positioning loads in
six axes. The controller is intended for closed-
loop operation of a hexapod from PI that is
equipped with drives with integrated motor
drivers.
The intended use of the hexapod and the con-
troller is only possible in conjunction with all sys-
tem components (cable set, power adapters).
The hexapod system may only be used in com-
pliance with the technical specifications and in-
structions in the user manuals. The user is re-
sponsible for process validation.
The hexapod system may not be used for pur-
poses other than those stated in the user man-
ual. The hexapod system may only be installed,
operated, maintained, and cleaned by autho-
rized and appropriately qualified personnel.
Transport
Improper handling of the hexapod during trans-
port can lead to injuries from crushing.
Ø If necessary: Use suitable auxiliary equip-
ment for transporting, e.g., a crane.
Ø Pay attention to the unpacking instructions
for the hexapod.
Installation
If the hexapod is vacuum-compatible, pay atten-
tion to cleanliness.
Ø Touch the hexapod and the cable only with
powder-free gloves.
Ø If necessary: Wipe the hexapod and the ca-
ble to clean them.
Impermissible mechanical load can damage the
hexapod.
Ø Ship the hexapod in the original packaging
with transport safeguard only.
Ø When lifting the hexapod, only hold onto
its baseplate or if applicable, the transport
safeguard.
Ø Avoid high forces and torques on the mo-
tion platform.
Ø Avoid unintentional changes in the position
of the hexapod when servo mode is
switched off or when there is no power
supply.
Ø Make sure that no collisions between the
hexapod, the load to be moved, and the
surroundings are possible in the workspace
of the hexapod.
Ø Avoid impermissible mechanical loads on
the cable, e.g., pull forces, tight bending
radii, or recurring motion.
Unsuitable mounting could warp the baseplate
and therefore reduce accuracy and the lifetime
of the hexapod.
Ø Mount the hexapod on a flat surface (see
the hexapod's manual for the recom-
mended flatness).
Incorrectly fitted screws and locating pins can
cause damage.
Ø Pay attention to the maximum tightening
torque.
Ø Select the screw length according to the
depth of the mounting holes.
Ø Do not insert locating pins too deeply into
the motion platform.
