In all cases where we act as provider or supplier, our offers, orders placed with us, and agreements concluded with us are subject to the conditions and requirements laid down by the Netherlands Metal Association (the ‘Metaalunievoorwaarden’).
These conditions and requirements are filed with the registrar of the District Court of Rotterdam.
11. Next optimize the step control and drive speed settings for optimal performance with minimum overlap
between sweeps whilst maintaining a closed pattern. Start with step timer in slow setting and adjust speed.
Switch to fast setting only if maximum speed still gives insufficient forward movement between sweeps.
12. Start application. Use the swing arm overrule if a spot is not sufficiently cleaned and an additional pass over
the same spot is required.
13. Turn on the light when required.
14. To cover the whole surface, move in parallel lanes, either by going back and forth cleaning or cleaning in
just one direction, the other direction is then used to move back to a starting point. This choice of operation
may depend on the application.
15. Use the joystick to maneuver the robot to the next lane or if a change of robot direction is required during
application. To stay parallel to the previous lane either the joystick or the adjust knob can be used. Especially
in step timer mode it is easier to correct the position using the adjust knob than with the joystick.
16. To stop the application at the end of a lane or at the end of the job, always switch off the pump / valve first
to stop the supply of application pressure and then stop the swing arm movement.
8.1.6. Shutting down
To shut down the system, the following steps are required:
1. Turn off all remote application functions in the following order:
a. Pump / valve off.
b. Swing arm off.
c. Step control off.
2. Move the robot down to a suitable location for detachment, approx. 1 meter above the ground, within
easy reach.
3. Turn off the remote control and control box. Ensure the system is completely powered down by turning the
main switch on the control box to “off”.
4. Remove the application / swing arm from the robot.
5. Disconnect the umbilical cable and attach all protection covers to the connectors.
6. Lift the rear magnet by turning the lever in CCW direction.
7. Using only the protection frame for handling, remove the robot from the surface in the following order:
a. Pull the caster wheels from the surface.
b. Rotate the robot until it is in horizontal position (the holding force of the front magnet will rapidly
decrease between 30° and 60° angle, allowing the robot to be detached from the surface)
c. Pull the robot away from the surface and lower to the ground.
Important: ensure a clear area when taking the robot from the surface. Make sure there are no other metal surfaces
or any loose metal items in close vicinity of the robot.
8.1.7. WCS overrule
The robot system uses a wall contact switch (WCS) for safety, to ensure that the robot and connected equipment is
only operational when the robot is correctly attached to the surface. It is possible though that during application the
detection of the surface is lost, due to curvature or irregularities in the working surface. If the control box no longer
receives an active signal from the WCS in such a situation, all functionalities of the robot are disabled, including the
drive motors.
If the robot is still properly attached to the surface and the problem is only with the detection of the surface by the
WCS, there is a possibility to temporarily overrule the WCS signal to allow movement of the robot to a place on the
surface where the WCS signal is restored, and normal operation can continue.
The WCS overrule button (16) is located inside the control box, see section 6.3. When it is required to move the robot
a short distance to restore the WCS signal or to maneuver the robot back to reachable height for inspection and /
or removal, this overrule button can be used after taking appropriate safety measures. Note that the WCS overrule
is a system intervention, and it is necessary to investigate the cause of the WCS failure immediately.
