Safety Considerations
Personnel Safety Guidelines
QuickStick HT components and transport systems can provide several direct safety hazards to
personnel if not properly installed or operated. General safety guidelines are provided in this
section, specific cautions are provided as needed (see Mechanical Hazards on page 49, Elec-
trical Hazards on page 50, and Magnetic Hazards on page 51).
• Personnel operating or servicing the QuickStick HT transport system must be properly
trained.
• Be aware of the hazardous points of the QuickStick HT transport system as described
in this chapter.
• High-strength Neodymium Iron Boron magnets are used with the QSHT motors.
• To avoid severe injury, people with pacemakers and other medical electronic
implants must not handle or approach the magnet arrays. These individuals
must consult their physician to determine the susceptibility of their device to
static magnetic fields and to determine a safe distance between themselves and
the magnet array.
• Handle only one vehicle/magnet array at a time. Do not place any body parts,
such as fingers, between a magnet array and any QSHT motors, ferrous mate-
rial, or another magnet array to avoid injury from strong magnetic attractive
forces.
• Vehicles and magnet arrays not on the QuickStick HT transport system must be
secured individually in isolated packaging.
• Moving mechanisms have no obstruction sensors and can cause personal injury.
• Know the location of the following:
• Fire extinguisher.
• First Aid Station.
• Emergency eyewash and/or shower.
• Emergency exit.
• The following safety equipment, used according to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer, must be donned before installing, testing, or servicing the QSHT trans-
port system:
• Eye protection – Breaking material can produce flying shards. When running
a setup or test procedure, always wear protective eyewear to guard against pos-
sible eye injuries.
• Foot protection – Always wear shoes with protective toes to help protect feet
from falling tools or parts.
