HANDLING A MAGNET PLATE (CAUTIONS)
WARNING
1 Mishandling a magnet plate may be highly
dangerous, resulting in a fatal accident. Read and
thoroughly understand these cautions and Part III,
"HANDLING, DESIGN, AND ASSEMBLY," before
handling the magnet plate and strictly observe the
cautions when handling it. Do not handle the
magnet plate unless you have been trained in
handling linear motors.
2 A magnet plate uses many very strong magnets. It
may cause a malfunction of a medical apparatus
such as a pacemaker or AICD. For this reason, any
person having a medical apparatus must keep
away from the magnet plate. Also arrange the
environment to keep any person having a medical
apparatus away from the magnet plate. Keep at
least 30 cm away from the magnet plate when it is
absolutely necessary.
When a magnet plate is shipped from FANUC, it is packed so that the
magnets will not seriously affect outside. Do not remove the tin plates
and cushioning corrugated cardboard attached to the magnet plate
until the magnet plate is installed on a machine.

Keep any magnetic material (including a tool) away from the magnet
plate. If magnetic materials such as iron are brought near the magnet
plate, the magnetic materials may be pulled to the magnet plate with a
force of about 5 tons, resulting in serious injury. In any case, always
keep any magnetic material away from the magnet plate and also be
extremely careful of magnetic materials around the work area.
