Danger

Backlight

Note

The Asycube Clean 230 does not integrate a backlight and is not concerned by this section.

Important

The Backlight from the Asycube 50/80 is not constructed to be used permanently. Please switch off the illumination after image acquisition. There is an auto-switch OFF after 30 seconds of timeout. If this timeout is not respected there is a risk of damaging irreparably the backlight. The duty cycle must stay below 33% (30s ON, 60s OFF).

Caution

The Asycube integrated backlight belongs to risk group 2 according to the norm EN 62471. Hazardous optical radiation are possibly emitted from this product. Do not stare at the operating lamp. May be harmful to the eye.

Note

Refer to power connection for more information on how to use the S-power (safety power) for backlight.

Actuators

Important

The Asycube actuators are not designed for continuous vibration. A typical vibration sequence should last between less than 1 second and 5 seconds to spread the parts prior to being picked up by a robot. There is an automatic shut-off for the actuators after 30 seconds of continuous vibration or if the duty cycle exceeds 50% (e.g., vibrate for 10 seconds, rest for 2 seconds, and repeat). If this limit is exceeded, the system will stop vibrating and display the error message Actuators overheated. This requires a 30-second cool down period before the next vibration can be initiated. Failure to respect this timeout may result in irreversible damage to the actuators.

Temperature

Caution

../../_images/danger_temperature.png

The active elements into the Asycube make the surfaces shown on the picture heating up to 45°C in nominal use. This temperature can nevertheless increase to 55°C in extreme use.

It is the responsibility of customers to document their own application and instruct employees on procedures to avoid contact with these surfaces.

Sound level

Important

This section only concern the users of Asycube 380/530.

Caution

The sound level of the Asycube during intensive use without components on the platform is less than 72 dB. Depending on the components distributed on the platform, the sound level may be higher. In this case, it is the customer’s or integrator’s responsibility to implement the necessary measures to meet the safety requirements for operators.
