Open-Close Flap Type Model Designation (Example) • The specially designed flaps, opening on either side, facilitate replacement or addition of cables. You can check the cables with the flaps down in place. › Excel at safety, durability and smooth movement with easy operation. › Capable of following every linear motion and compound motion of moving parts and protects cables and hoses.

Common Safety Instructions for Plarailchain Before selecting or using PISCO products, read the following instructions. Read the detailed instructions for individual series as well as the instructions below. Warning : 1. Never step on Plarailchain. Otherwise the chain may break and you will fall down. 2. When connecting, opening, closing, or carrying out maintenance and checks, hold the Plarailchain motionless. Otherwise the Plarailchain may run or fall under its own weight, thus doing injuries to you. 3. Pay attention to the flexing areas of the Plarailchain. You can get injured with your hand...

Capability Diagram When total weight and max. diameter of cable hose, and transfer stroke are decided, please select a best suitable Plarailchain from the following capability diagram. The bending radius of Plarailchain must be larger than the one of cable/hose. Remarks 1. F = Free span = Length can be travelled horizontally 2. The diagram is a case when fixed-end is set to the center of transfer stroke. 3. ø: Maximum diameter of cable or hose to be stored.

Safety Instructions for fixing storage items (tubings/ cables) This instruction is only examples to decrease the wear and tear of tubings/ cables inside the Plarailchain, but do not guarantee the effect for all types. As such, please conduct test use before actual operation. 1. Storage of tubings/cables 1. Please select tubings/cables with less than the minimum-bending radius of plarailchain. In addition, please fix crook of tubings/ cables before installing in Plarailchain. 2. When plenty of tubings/cables are installed, please use "divider" or "rack" inside in order to avoid spiral twist of...

2. Fixing of tubings/cables 1. Please fix tubings/cables as close as possible to the fixing bracket at both ends. Fixing far apart from the bracket causes looseness of the tubings/ cables. 2. Applying metal or resin plates with large surface friction resistance as fixture is acceptable. Tuck tubings/cables between base part and plate as shown below. Note) When a number of tubings/cables are fixed by a banding band together as shown below, some of them might not be touched and fixed by the band and causes loosening. Base part 3. When a number of tubings/cables are fixed by banding band, please...

Safety Instructions for safety device (guide-rail) installation When Plarailchain is used in long stroke or for long time even within the acceptable value of the free-span, the installation of safety device such as guide-rail can prevent sagging or loosening of Plarailchain. (However, the moving speed and acceleration speed are limited by the installation.) Moreover, since the following instruction is only rough indication, please contact PISCO for details. 1. Installation of guide-rail and guide-roller * Do not use guide-roller for the application of more than 1m/s moving speed. Please consider...

3. Operation of multiple movements When biaxial running or multiple movements are operated as shown below, please confirm the specification and contact PISCO. 4. Other safety instructions for long stroke and multiple movements operation 1. Using safety devices such as guide-rail or guide-roller cause abrasion where the devices and Plarailchain contact. As such, please apply material made of low surface sliding resistance for the safety devices. Taping low friction sheet (such as super-high-molecular polyethylene sheet) to the all-contact face reduces the dust from abrasion and longer operating...
