Making a safety inspections and test for Vacuum lifter PPD-MT500/3 before put it into use
Do not use the Vacuum lifter PPD-MT500/3 when the Low- air pressure indicate shown
Make sure that the compressed air was clean and water&oil filter must be mounted before the air come into the machine
Make sure that the compress air pressure keep stable and no less than 6 bar
Preparing
The user must be aware of the surrounding when use the machine with suspension devices like gantry crane, and must keep a general safety margin in case unexpected situations
The user must calculate the air line length, make sure it must long enough for moving
Observe the compress air pressure meter to ensure the pressure keep 6 bar above
Inspect the compressed air line if there are blowholes or leakage in the line
Vacuum
The Vacuum lifter PPD-MT500/3 is only designed for dense materials handling
Keep the loads surface in dry, clean, dust or particle surface may caused vacuum leakage
Lifting and Handling
The Vacuum lifter PPD-MT500/3, worked with other portable devices which might give rise to crushing risk, whenever lifting or lowering loads, it is important to ensure that there is no one in the area of risk where crushing may occur
Never use the lifter until the enough vacuum level has been achieved, once the vacuum leakage detected, lower down the loads immediately, the user must make sure that the vacuum meter was in sight, and the pointer of meter must be steadily in green zone
Be particularly aware of the capacity limitations of machine, pls note, the capacity is reduce when the altitude rising
Always keep the knob screws fasten before the work piece lifted
Tilting and lower down
The machine was designed in gravity tilting, different pads grab position would lead to different tilting degree, never try to change the tilting degree by hand or other tools
User must keep the under edge touched with ground or pallet while pursue a vertical stack, hanging vacuum release was always strictly prohibited
Control Model
The Vacuum lifter PPD-MT500/3 use hand sliding control valve for vacuum switching off/on, a spring nod lock to protect an expected release
Safety Test (Before use)
The Vacuum lifter PPD-MT500/3, must be tested daily before use, this test must be carried out without loads.
Very Important! Do not put the machine into use if any items of test not passed
Carry out the inspection to ensure that the mechanical parts of Vacuum lifter PPD-MT500/3 are not worn or damaged to such an extent that the safety of machine is compromised
Power Connection Check: Make sure the compressed air line was right connection
Vacuum leakage inspection: get thought the compressed air line to the air inlet, then switched on the hand sliding valve for vacuum through, after the machine reached to 75%, turn off the air switch, look at the vacuum meter, the allowed leakage in 5 minutes would be less than 10%. If the leakage is greater than 10%, check the condition of suction pads and all hose connection and tighten clamps again.
Working process
Power Switch
Rotate the power switch to working position, the power meter would show the battery content, do not use the lifter whenever Low-battery indicate shown
Vacuum start
Turn on the compressed air switch to “through”, the ejector start running, and keep the vacuum hand-sliding valve in “release” position, wait for moment until the pointer of vacuum meter come to green zone, which indicate the vacuum system reserved enough vacuum and prepared well for working
Picking up a load
Place the suction pads on the surface of load, make sure the spring buffer of all pads have been compressed and all suction pads fully attached with loads, push the vacuum hand-slide valve to “suction” position, when the vacuum pressure reached to required vacuum;
The air supply must be always in “through” position during work, compressed air line pull off during working process was strictly forbidden
Make sure that the vacuum pressure always keep 60%(-60kpa) above
Convey of load
After vacuum attaching of the load confirmed, move the load to the expect position by driving crane or other portable devices
Following points must be taken seriously
Danger of injury by collision: Make sure that there are no people or objects in working area
Danger of load falling: Never stay below the load
In case vacuum leakage detected, lower down the load immediately
Never pull the hand slide valve to “release” position during conveying
Do not switch off the vacuum until the load placed securely and not slide down
Any handling operations were forbidden during load moving
Titling
The tilting must be executed more than two people,
Ensure that there are higher enough for turning, the lifting height must more than half of the loads
Uncontrollable tilting forbidden in the work
Some bands should be used to fasten the loads with machine for unexpected emergency
Maintenance and Inspection
Vacuum ejector: as the vacuum resource, the ejector must be carefully maintained all the time. The surface of loads must be clear and dry, if the slough materials, the filter must be changed with fine performance, in case ejector blocked, disassembly the ejector and clear the nozzle with compressed air, corrosive cleanout fluid was forbidden to use for clearing.
Suction cups: the cup was composed of sealing ring, background sliding-resistant rubber and aluminum body. Operator must inspect the sealing ring before put the machine into use, damaged the sealing ring will cause the loads fallen down after the load been elevated. The sealing joint should be beveled, glued by silicon adhesive, marked 704B.
Filter: the cartridge in the filter was made by paper, water-wash will cause the cartridge badly damaged, use the compressed air to blow the dust and particles from the cartridge.
Vacuum release valve: the manual valve designed in sliding valve with safety knob, to make the sliding easier and keep the O ring long life, the lubrication work was necessary regularly, normal solid lubricant oil will be ok for the work.
