1GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Important remarks

The following instructions will be used as technical documentation for the manufacturer of the

final machine. elcom is the supplier of this TLM 1000 transfer system sub-assembly .

The manufacturer of the final machine must make sure that:

-All safety equipment is provided and functional,

-Regular checks are carried out,

-All danger (pinching, squashing) due to moving parts is controlled,

-The documentation is complete.

1.2 Applicable standards

According to the 2006/42/CE European directive, elcom transfer systems are considered as partly

completed machines. They are therefore not subject to an EC declaration of conformity but are the

subject of a declaration of incorporation. The latter is transmitted at the time of delivery,

accompanied by the exploded view of the motorized equipment.

However, the following standards are taken into account during the design and the manufacturing of

the elcom transfer systems:

–The European Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE

–The European Low Voltage Directive73/23/CE

elcom ensures an adequate follow-up and products quality formalized by the ISO 9001 certification.

For environmental reasons, elcom also meets the requirements of the ISO 14001 standards.

1.3 Applications

The elements of the linear TLM 1000 transfer systems are designed to carry and position workpiece

carriers according to the end customers’ configuration.

They are intended to be incorporated the customers' production line.

1.4 Conditions of use

The elements of the TLM 1000 transfer systems are suited for a use in normal industrial areas such as

a final assembly plant or equivalent, in a dry environment.

They are not suited for transporting materials such as sand, balls or grain.

The maximum load applicable on the transfer system is mentioned in the catalog and must never be

ignored.

To ensure a proper functioning of the transfer system on a maximum period of time, you must follow

this advice:

-Use temperature between 0 and 40°C (30 and 140°F)

-Avoid dusty or smoky atmosphere

-Avoid accumulation of sharp objects on the transfer system

-Avoid setting the machine in direct exposition to UV rays

1.5 Safety instructions

Safety rules regarding transfer systems, especially the ones regarding the electrical

devices, must be followed during all the use phases: mounting, transport, production.

Disregarding these rules would be regarded as a wrong use of the machine.

Using the transfer system in an explosive atmosphere can have a negative impact on the

transfer system and is strongly discouraged.

Never perform any maintenance on your own. Another worker must be present at all

time in order to shut the power down or perform first aid actions if needed.

Changing the motor position or removing security parts must only be done when the

transfer system is unplugged from any power supply.

When carrying maintenance or handling tasks while the transfer system is operating (belt

tension setting), take care not to slide your hand between the belt and the belt support

in order to avoid any accident.

All the different types of positioning units include several mobile parts driven by

pneumatic cylinders. Therefore, they must be well protected in the end-user machine in

order to avoid any risks of pinching or squashing. We recommand to mount a protective

housing around it. In case of manual shift, the final machine can not be used without the

protections installed at the indexing and stop station

1.6 Safety instructions regarding the motor

In case of a power failure, turn off the transfer system: it could restart automatically

when the power comes back which could cause damages and even injuries to the

operator.

1.7 Additional information

These instructions aim at ensuring the safety of the people and the proper functioning of the transfer

system. If you wish to use the transfer system in any other conditions, please do not hesitate to

2TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

- Maximum load on a workpiece carrier: 2 kg

- Maximum accumulated load on the transfer system: 25 kg for a maximum 3-meters unit.

- Electrical power supply of the motors: 380V three-phase

- Motor power: V 9 m /min = 0.09 Kw

(V = belt speed) V 15m /min = 0.09 Kw

V 19m /min = 0.09 Kw

Air pressure supply = 5 to 6 bars

Every cylinder must be equipped with a flow limiter.

- Sound emission < 70 dB

- Weight of each part: See our catalogue Modular Transfer System & Flat belt conveyors.

http://elcom-automation.com/transfers/documentation

Warning: All load exceedance can lead to a premature wear of the belt or any other

parts.

3COMMISSIONING

3.1 Receipt

When receiving the transfer system, check if the packaging has not suffered any damage and

that the machine is in perfect conditions.

The transfer system can be supplied in kit. It then needs to be assembled.

3.2 Transfer elements

When handling the equipment and parts, take special care to avoid shocks.

1. Assemble the parts according to the lay-out of the line with the delivered fastening parts,

2. Level perfectly the conveying units while checking that the belts are properly laid on the

belt guide,

3. Ensure the perfect stability of the whole line. To achieve this and according to the lay-out of

the line, it may be necessary to perform ground fastenings,

4. Check the settings of the motor magneto-thermic circuit breakers,

5. Check the running direction of the belt without any load,

6. Adjust the cams and the selectors using a workpiece carrier,

7. Start the transfer system with all the workpiece carriers on.

3.3 Stopper

1. Place the stopper right in the middle of the two profiles of the system,

2. Adjust the sensor for the detection of the workpiece carriers,

3. Adjust the flow control units.

3.4 Positioning unit

1. Put the positioning unit right in the middle of the two profiles of the system,

2. Adjust the sensor for the detection of the workpiece carriers,

3. Check on the high position that the pins of the workpiece carrier are free,

4. Lubricate the positioning units fingers with a fine layer of grease (see Maintenance),

5. Adjust the flow controllers.

Note: For the heavy positioning unit, check the lubrication of the drawer (see Maintenance).

All the different types of positioning units include several mobile parts driven by

pneumatic cylinders. Therefore, they must be well protected on the end-user machine

in order to avoid any risk of pinching or squashing. We recommend mounting a

protective housing.

3.5 Workpiece carrier

1. Check that the springs of the pins located under the carrier are working properly.

2. Check that no part goes over the lower surface of the workpiece carrier.

4MAINTENANCE

General visual check

Approximately every 500 hours, check the following points to ensure the proper functioning of the

transfer system:

4.1 Belts wear

Regularly verify visually the state of the belt and especially the welding area.

4.2 Passageways of workpiece carriers

The friction of the pins while operating can make some marks appear. Those marks may over the

long term require the part replacement.

4.3 Pins

Pins are sensitive to wear, especially if the load is heavy. Wear can be noticed as soon as a loss of

efficiency in the guiding of the workpiece carrier occurs.

4.4 Wear of the belt guide

Belt guide must be replaced as soon as wear marks or friction on the belt start to appear.

4.5 Transfer parts

Every 200 hours:

Remove the dust from the complete unit, using the product:

Ref 800 00 003 (polish plastics Air Industry 2101).

Every 3200 hours:

Check the lubrication of the conical torque.

Apply grease to obtain the initial lubrication state if necessary.

Use the grease reference 800 00 009.

4.6 Stopper

Every 5000 hours:

Eventual cleaning of the stopper depending on the working environment.

I02-118 User manual & maintenance guide Version 04 (translation of the original manual)

Stopper can be disassembled by the two screws located underneath.

Once the screws are taken off, slide the stopper outside of the system for disassembly, cleaning and

greasing.

4.7 Positioning unit

Every 1000 hours:

All types except heavy positioning unit.
