2.4 Safety Instructions for Working with Strong Magnetic Fields
Preparation
The following steps must always be observed when disassembling or removing a magnet, guide rails
and gantries.
► Note that empty packaging must be available for disassembling the magnets. At each package only
one magnet is allowed.
► Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
► Complete all necessary repair/replacement work before removing the magnet.
► Clear the area in which the magnet is to be unpacked of all ferromagnetic objects (steel particles,
screws, tools, and metal tables, etc.) and move all recording and measuring equipment to a safe
place.
DANGER
It is only permitted SIPLACE technicians to develop the magnets, guides and portals related to
linear actuators.
It is only permitted to hand over assemblies that have been locked for customers after the legal
situation has been clarified in respect of regional legislation by the regional subsidiary in con-
sultation with the customers.
In this event, liability for any damages transfers to the regional subsidiary and the customers.

Removing the Magnetic Track
The magnetic track is only permitted to be removed by a SIPLACE engineer.
► Place the empty magnet packaging supplied by SIPLACE within easy reach of the machine. Only
ever place one magnetic track in each box. Overview of empty packaging: This must be additionally
ordered before you start work.
► Remove the old magnetic track.
► Place the magnetic track in the packaging and close the lid.
DANGER
Observe by the removing following points:
► Persons wearing active implants (e.g. pacemakers) or other ferromagnetic prostheses are
explicitly forbidden to work on this equipment or approach the vicinity of it. Keep at a safe
distance from the motor.
► Special precautions need to be taken due to the strong magnetic attraction forces in the di-
rect vicinity of the magnetic track and the moving primary unit. Heavy or wide objects made
of steel or iron must never be brought close to the magnetic track by hand. Because the
magnetic attraction forces are not visible, their effects close to the magnetic track are gen-
erally underestimated. The magnetic attraction force can start to take effect abruptly. In the
vicinity of ferromagnetic objects (made of steel or iron) of a similar size to that of the mag-
netic track, they can increase to several thousand newtons.
► Always wear appropriate work clothes and protective clothing (e.g. gloves, shoes, etc.)
when handling the magnetic track.
► Only suitably trained ASM engineers are permitted to carry out assembly work and other
tasks associated with replacing the magnetic track.
► In the event of emergencies, always have at least two wedges (approximately 10° through
15°) made of solid, non-magnetic material (e.g. Plastic or aluminum) [Item.No.: 03097870-
xx] and a non-magnetic hammer (approximately 2 - 3 kg) [Item.No.: 03097897-xx] to hand.
These tools are required in the event of an emergency in order to separate parts that have
become magnetically attached to the magnetic track and to release any parts of the body
(finger, hand, foot) that may have become trapped.
► Never place the coil assembly of an iron-core motor directly on the magnetic track.
► Electronic equipment and measuring instruments can be damaged or destroyed by strong
magnetic fields. Do not place any equipment that contains magnetic components in the vi-
cinity of computers, monitors or magnetic data media (e.g. hard disks, credit cards, audio-
tapes, videotapes etc.).
► Always keep a distance off at least 45 cm (18 inches) between individual magnetic tracks
or between a magnetic track and other magnetic surfaces!
DANGER
Packaging
► Only one magnet may be placed in each box!
► The following two warning labels must be attached to the box:

► Remove the packaging containing the magnetic track from the working area.
► Repeat these steps for each magnetic track.
► Continue any repair/replacement work.
Installing the Magnetic Track
Go for the installation of the magnetic track as follows:
► Place the magnet packaging supplied by SIPLACE containing the magnet within easy reach of the
machine.
► Open the lid and remove the magnetic track.
► Install the magnetic track in the machine.
► Remove the empty packaging.
► Repeat these steps for each magnetic track.
► Continue any repair/replacement work.
