SECTION 1: General Information

The Industrial Motion Control (IMC) Intermittor is engineered and manufactured to very high tolerances
which necessitate careful inspection and maintenance.

Some users of indexing drives have the facilities and trained personnel to accomplish service repair.You
must determine the extent to which intricate servicing should be done in your own facility.When in doubt,
IMC recommends that IMC trained servicemen make the repairs.

1.1. Warranty - Products are warranted as follows:

1.1.1. Our products are warranted for one (1) year from the date of shipment to be free
from defects in workmanship and materials.The foregoing warranty is exclusive
and in lieu of all other warranties, whether written or orally expressed or implied
and there are no warranties of merchantability or fitness for particular use.

1.1.2. Our obligation under the foregoing is limited to replace free of charge, including the
lowest transportation cost, but not including installation or any other charges, any
part that our inspection shows to be defective provided that the part was properly
installed, suitably maintained and not subject to misuse or abuse, and further
provided that the defective parts are retur ned to our plant within one (1) year after
delivery by us.Wr itten permission for such return must first be obtained from IMC.
A complete explanation is required of the alleged defects and circumstances.

1.2. Safety – Read and follow all Warnings and Cautions pr ior to any service or repair.

1.2.1. Intermittors should not be started and stopped at high speed during the transfer
phase of the cam. This can cause serious damage to the Intermittor and reduce
the cam follower life. For cycling during setup or jog mode, speed must be
reduced to 25% of the normal operating speed. The use of an E-stop for
purposes other than emergencies is not recommended. A cycle stop button should
be incorporated into the system controls. Please consult Industrial Motion Control’s
Wheeling factory for additional information.

1.2.2. Always disconnect power and lockout the source before working on these units.

1.2.3. All input and output connections should be backlash free. Use friction lock type
shaft couplings such as taper lock bushings, split and clamped hubs, etc., in the
input and output drive train. There should be no loose keys, set screws, etc.

3

SECTION 1: General Information (continued)

1.2.4. Reducers should be of minimum backlash variety and directly coupled with a
backlash-free connection. If line shafts are used, they must be sized for severe
reversing loads.

1.2.5. When using chain drives, incorporate an idler to eliminate any slack. (Do not use
spring-loaded idlers.) As the cam motion stops and starts, any slack in the drive
changes sides. It is necessary to maintain a constant speed of the input shaft.
Loose belts or chains will cause inertial over-run, causing distorted acceleration
and deceleration characteristics which may cause damage to the unit. Belts and
chains must be sized for severe reversing loads.

1.2.6. Ferguson does not provide guarding for moving parts, such as dials, handwheels,
switch cams, etc.Numerous pinch points do exist on this equipment and the
possibility exists of being struck by a moving part. Since this product is expected to
become part of a fur ther developed machine, it is the customer’s responsibility to
add safety fencing, guarding, light curtains or other protection devices, as
necessary, to protect personnel and property.

NOTE: In the event the unit is damaged, contact Industrial Motion Control’s
Wheeling factory or your local representative, for proper reconditioning or
repair (see sections 1.5 Requesting Service or 1.6 Returning a Unit for Repair).

1.3. Operating Environment –This machine is intended to operate in a clean environment.

Excessive coolant, chips, dust dirt or debris can adversely affect its performance and life.
If this machine does operate in a dirty environment periodic cleaning must be practiced
and careful inspection of seals and accessories is necessary.

1.3.1. For extended storage, remove vents and fill with proper oil. (Refer to section 6)

1.4. Ordering Replacement Parts – When ordering parts, always provide the following
information:

1.4.1. The serial number shown on the nameplate.

1.4.2. The part name and/or the description listed in the manual.

1.4.3. The part numbers shown on the bill of material or assembly drawings.

equipment mounted.These fees apply only if customer decides not to repair or replace
subject unit.
