DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS - Section 10 Proper Carrier System Installation
Proper Installation Of A Cable And Hose Carrier System
1. Remove Cables From Reel Cables and hoses must not be pulled off the top of the reel, instead properly unroll cables or hoses from their shipment reels or boxes allowing them to relax to prevent twisting, corkscrewing or kinking from developing (see page 2.14 for more information on "The proper unspooling of cables and hoses").
2. Measure & Cut Required Length Carefully measure cable or hose length; reminder: measure twice - confidently cut once. Note: Never measure cable length by placing the cables in a carrier system that is lying flat and then cutting. Always pull the loop over and then measure and cut.
3. Place Cables and/or Hoses in Proper Cavities Care should be taken to correctly place cables and hoses inside the proper carrier cavity by placing them into their correctly specified (per print) location. Cables and/or hoses can be installed into a carrier system either before or after the carrier system is affixed to the machine when using carrier systems with opening cavity access. This makes installing, adding, removing, or replacing cables and hoses on an installed carrier system much easier.
4. Ensure Proper Fit of Cables or Hoses In Carrier System Cavity Cables and hoses should always be placed inside their specific compartments in the carrier system so they can move independently and freely throughout the entire carrier system length. Remember to always apply the recommended minimum cavity area clearances.
5. Ensure Proper Length of Cable or Hose While In Carrier System Check individual cable or hose lengths within the carrier system (once the carrier system is mounted) especially through the bending radius so they are not binding, pinching, or tangling.
6. Clamp Down Cables and Hoses Off Each End of the Carrier System Always individually clamp down cables and/or hoses off each end of the carrier system to prevent them from “walking” into or out of the carrier system during operation. KabelSchlepp designed cable clamps that easily snap together and are vibration-resistant and/or product specific strain relief clamping brackets should be used.
7. Check Clearance of Operating Envelope Make certain the operating envelope of the carrier system has adequate space allowances that are free and clear of all obstructions for the carrier system to operate correctly and safely (110% of the carrier systems overall operating length x 105% overall width x 110% overall operating height).
