i
Examples of "normal usage" in regard to movement: most material handling applications.
ii
Severe chemical or thermal environments, or similar environments, can result in shortened life
expectancy.
iii
Examples of "extreme usage" in regard to movement: press tending, very severe palletizing
applications, major use of axis 1 movement.
iv
The given life for the balancing device is based on a test cycle of 4,000,000 cycles that starts from
the initial position and goes to maximum extension, and back. Deviations from this cycle will result
in differences in expected life!
v
The SIS for an M2004 system is described in the Operating manual - Service Information System.
