SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Information!
IMPORTANT: This manual must
be reviewed with all equipment
operators as part of your operator
training program!
Please read all assembly, and main-
tenance instructions carefully before
beginning set-up of the components
in this document. Where appropri-
ate, warning symbols have been in-
cluded in this publication to alert you
of potential or impending danger.
• Be sure to read and observe all safety
warnings in this document as well
as those attached to the individual
modules. Failure to do so could result
in potential risks to your health and
safety as well as those around you.
• Covers and guards have been de-
signed to eliminate pinch points
and exposure to moving chains
and gears. DO NOT operate the
conveyor or any of the other compo-
nents in the system with the guards
removed. Serious injury may result!
• All set-up maintenance and repair
work should be performed only by
properly trained, qualified person-
nel. All operators must be properly
trained in the use of this equipment.
• A qualified electrician must make
all electrical connections when wir-
ing the components installed in the
TSplus system. Be sure to follow all
local, state and federal regulations
when installing electrical devices
of any type. The customer assumes
responsibility for the control system,
and must provide an EMERGENCY-
OFF SWITCH or switches for all
workstation operators to meet all ap-
plicable industry and OSHA require-
ments. In general, emergency-off
switches must be present at easily ac-
cessible locations for all operators of
the installed TSplus conveyor system.
• All power supplies must be LOCKED
OUT before beginning maintenance
or repair work of any type on the
conveyor system. Proper LOCK
OUT procedures include the iden-
tification of the locked out power
supply with a tag to prevent the
accidental restoration of power.
WARNING!
• TSplus pneumatic components are
designed to operate in a range of
4–6 Bar (58–87 psi). It is the users
responsibility to install a filtered,
regulated air supply to limit the
pressure to that recommended by
the manufacturer. Before beginning
any maintenance or repair, bleed off
the pressure lines to all components
to prevent unexpected or accidental
movement of a system component
which could result in personal injury.
• TSplus drives, returns and conveyor
sections and components are de-
signed to transport Bosch Rexroth
WT2, WT2/A, WT2/A-H workpiece
pallets. Proper usage is defined as
the transport and positioning of parts
and assemblies via the workpiece
pallet and fixture during the assembly
process. In no instances should the
pallet payload, the downward force
applied to the pallet, or the total load
carrying capacity of the entire system
be exceeded. Exceeding published
specifications will result in premature
wear or system failure and may cause
damage to the motor, gearbox, roller
chain, seals and other components.
• CAUTION! Do not operate or work
near mechanical equipment when
wearing loose clothing. Moving
components such as roller chain,
drive belts, drive shafts and pallets
can snag long belts, scarves, ties
and other loose fitting garments,
pull the worker into the equip-
ment and cause serious, or in ex-
treme cases, life threatening injury.
• CAUTION! Operators having long
hair must wear appropriate head
protection (hair nets, hats, and hair
caps) to minimize the risk associated
with working near moving machinery.
Hanging hair can get caught in moving
components such as flat-top chain,
drive belts, drive shafts and pallets,
pull the worker into the equipment
and cause serious, or in extreme
cases, life threatening injury.
Employees must be instructed in safety requirements. Refer to Rexroth document
3842527147 (02.2008), “Instructing Employees on Safety” for an overview of the
dangers, instructions and references to regulations and standards for employees who
operate, maintain, repair or who work on or near Rexroth conveyor transport systems.
