7.2.2
Proximity switch control
7.2.2.1General
Functions:
The gun stroke can be manually adjusted by moving the proximity switches to the necessary position.
At the control cabinet the carriage speed is adjusted by a potentiometer.
!
Adjustment of proximity switches is only allowed when the machine is
not moving!
Adjusting stroke:
• Switch off reciprocator.
•
Remove cover.
•
Loose fixing screws at proximity holder.
•
Move holder with proximity switch to correct position.

Commissioning and Operation
Check function of proximity switches for reversing points
After the correct setting of the motor direction start reciprocator again and – with low speed – let
the carriage move to the upper proximity switch.
Reciprocator must reverse at this point!
If it’s not reversing check function of proximity switch.
Proceed equal for lower proximity switch.
Check function of limit switches
The limit switches interrupt after actuation the control release and stop the movement of the carriage. This function has to be checked at low speed with a tool manually.
Note
If the upper limit switch will be actuated the movement of the carriage will stop. In this situation the
carriage must be below the lower proximity switch using button H4/S3.
7.2.2.3Operation

Potentiometer control
7.2.3.1Commissioning/adjustment
For correct function it is inevitable that the electrical wiring has been done correctly according to
wiring diagram.
1.) Testing control to be set up correctly.
Activities
- Switch on control
- Set potentiometer for stroke speed to 30 %
- Set potentiometer for lower reversing point to 20 %
- Set potentiometer for upper reversing point to 80 %
Attention!
Signal lamp for overlap should not be on !!
- Start reciprocator
After the start button has been pressed the carriage must always move upwards. If this not
happens change direction of motor by switching the phases.
If the set up has been correct the carriage of the reciprocator will move at the set speed of 30
% slowly up and down.
2.) Set value potentiometer – check function!
a) Stroke speed
The function is correct if by turning the potentiometer to the right the speed will increase
and moving the potentiometer to the left the speed will reduce.
b) Upper reversing point and lower reversing point
The function is correct if the setting works like:
- turning left = reversing point lower
- turning right = reversing point upper
Note
At this test the setting of 20 % for the lower reversing point and 80 % for the upper reversing point
should not be exceeded. Also ensure that a minimum lift is maintained in order to prevent overlap
function.

Activities
a.) Mark reversing points at reciprocator (both approx. 50 - 60 mm before stroke limit).
b.) Start reciprocator: At this situation the reversing points must be significantly before the marks.
c.) Increase stroke speed slowly to: 60 - 70 - 80 - 90 - 100 %.
The stroke will increase simultaneously with the speed in upper and lower direction. At max.
speed the stroke limit marks should not be reached.
d.) Set value potentiometer for lower reversing point (LRP) and upper reversing point (URP) slowly to maximum value.
LRP - to 0 %; URP - to 100 %
With this setting the marked reversing points should not be overrunned.
e.) Set up compensation.
- Reduce set value for carriage speed to 40 % (stroke will become shorter).
- Mark additionally the reversing points of shortened stroke.!
- Return set value for carriage speed to 100 % (stroke will become longer).
- Turn Trimmer 1 slowly into right direction (stroke will become shorter) until stroke length will
be identical with the last marked reversing points.
f.) Set up max. possible stroke length (30 - 40 mm in front of the limit switch).
Turn slowly trimmer 3 to the right (for LRP) and trimmer 4 (for URP). The adjustment of reversing points will be completed.
Note
Turn trimmers only in small steps as the control will be very sensitive at the final area of the stroke.
7.2.3.4Operation
•
If the function of the control has been checked and the reciprocator works correctly the application equipment can be mounted.
Attention!
Do not exceed max carriage work load.
•
Mount covers.
•
Mount area protection units to prevent danger to working persons caused by subassemblies.
•

Commissioning and Operation
7.2.3.5Function
The lower and upper reversing point, as well as the hosting speed, are adjusted with the set-point
potentiometers at the control cabinet.
The reversing point adjustment as well as the adjustment of the stroke speed can be carried out
during operation.
Basic potentiometer position at maximum lift for the lower reversing point at the left stop, and the
potentiometer for the upper reversing point at the right stop.
Basic position:
V min. left stop
V max. right stop
When short lifts are involved it is necessary to note that there must be a minimum lift of at least 400
mm in conformity with the difference of the two potentiometer setting values. Id this minimum difference no longer exists (e.g. when the setting values are identical or even exceed each other), then a
so-called state of „overlap“ is created and the control will no longer operate properly.
This condition is indicated by the red LED and the outer signal lamp. The control operates normally
again as soon as the minimum difference is reset.
When the hoists are set into operation for the first time it is necessary to adjust the hoist control
with the actual value transmitter.
Adjustment is completed when the final carriage load has been established, and after the frequency converter has been adjusted to correct hoist operation.
7.2.3.6 Reversing procedure – Hoisting path
The entire hoist path is the result of the adjusted spacing of the two reversing points, plus the
length of the low level after-run (ramp) adjusted on the controller.
Different hoisting speeds produce differing low-level after-run paths (ramp length).
Maximum hoisting speed results in the longest after-run path (ramp length) of the hoist carriage,
measured from the electric change-over point to the actual reversing point of the hoist carriage.
The integrated after-run correction minimizes the deviation.
Note
Changes of the load or of the controller setting may make readjustment necessary. This may happen when the displacement pick-up and the pc-card are exchanged.
The setting of the control is correct when, at maximum hoist path setting, hoist carriage reversal
takes place approximately 30 to 40 mm before the stop is reached.
It is impermissible to allow the hoist carriage to hit the end stops.
Controller release is interrupted after actuation of the limit switches that have been incorporated to
safeguard the end positions. The hoist will no longer move.

Lubrication and maintenance of chain drives
It is possible to use solid lubricants for the chain drives.
Solid lubricants are:
•
Colloidal graphite
•
Fine graphite for coarse drives
•
Molybdenum sulphide (MoS2)
The use of a spray for the chains, no matter what kind, is not supported by REITER GmbH + Co.
KG Oberflächentechnik. REITER GmbH + Co. KG Oberflächentechnik must be consulted first
before using a spray.
Manual Lubrication
The lubricant is applied between the inner and outer plates of the chain with an oilcan or on the
inside of the chain lustrum with a brush. A chain that is lubricated periodically should be cleaned
with oil- and dirt dissolving cleaning agents first before lubrication.
A spray can is suited for manual lubrication on open chain drives. The lubrication can be done
without having to disassemble the chain. With help of a small extension straw a well-aimed and
economical application is possible. The spraying jet should be aimed between the inner and outer
plates so that the lubricant can penetrate the chain links.
When greasing the chains it is recommended to lay them in heated, liquefied grease. The chain
should stay in the grease until it has reached the same temperature as the grease and air bubbles
are no longer rising. Then the chain links are filled sufficiently with grease.
The grease has to be heated in a container which is placed in warm water. Heating grease over an
open flame will lead to overheating of the grease and the lubrication ability will be decreased.
S-LH93gb08
07/13 - 2
Page 1 of 10
8Maintenance
Lubricating intervals are dependent on the conditions of operation and vary greatly. It is therefore
difficult to specify an exact lubricating schedule.
For operation in enamelling lines or similar, the lubricant may loose its lubricity relatively quickly
due, for example, to the evaporation of solvents.
In any case, the operator must ensure that the lubricating intervals are short enough to ensure sufficient lubrication of the chain drives and to prevent dry running.
In addition to routine lubrication, the chain slack and the sprockets must be checked on a regular
basis.
Within the first 3 month after commissioning of the system the chain
slack must be checked once a week.
Attention!
The slack of the return strand should not be greater than 2 % of the length of the return strand.
Otherwise it needs to be tensioned.
To recognize when the chain needs to be replaced the chain manufacturers recommend the following method:
The wearing limit is established by compared measurements.
Therefore an control length of 34 increments (see spread sheet) is compared with the stretched
chain. If there are 33 or less increments within the control length, the chain must be replaced.
Oscillating chains must be measured at the area stressed by the reversing.
p
p x 34 increments = control lenght
33 and less increments, replace chain

8.2.1
Lubrication and maintenance
The usual regulations for roller bearings apply. Conventional roller bearing grease may be used;
however, different brands should not be mixed.
Lithium soap grease of consistency class NLGI2, DIN 51 818 may be used for roller bearing guides
subject to normal wear.
Lubricate with a grease gun until lubricant is exuded.
Lubricating intervals are dependent on the conditions of operation and vary greatly. It is therefore
difficult to specify an exact lubricating schedule.
For operation in enamelling lines or similar, the lubricant may loose its lubricity relatively quickly
due, for example, to the evaporation of solvents.
In any case, the operator must ensure that the lubricating intervals are short enough to ensure sufficient lubrication of the bearings.
Attention!
Ensure that the guide elements are kept clean and that mechanical
damage does not occur.

Chain tension
•
Loosen nut A (SW19).
•
Turn nut B til chain is tensioned.
•
Tighten nut A again.
The tension of the roller chain is correct when a chain strand in the centre can be moved approximately 40-50 mm when light finger pressure is exerted.

Lubrication and maintenance of the gear box
Attention!
Check oil level and the oil-level plug according to installation position.
All worm gear units and variants as well as gear motors are filled with synthetic lubricant at the factory, unless otherwise indicated in the confirmation of order. If a gear unit is requested to be delivered dry, it should be filled with an oil quality according to the marker’s plate.
When using mineral oils, reduced performance should be taken into account. Please ask for advice
about this.
The recommended level of oil is reached when oil drips out of the oil level screw (size 100 to 315).
For lubrication amounts refer to lubrication table.
The following mineral gearing lubricants are recommended by the manufacturer:
