Product description
Emission sound
pressure level
The emission sound pressure level depends on the machine properties and
the operating conditions. Generally the emissions sound pressure level LpA is
≤ 80dB(A), measured at a distance of 1 m from the safety fence and 1.6 m
above ground level. The measurement is performed according to the ISO
11202 standard. The measured value is time-averaged over a machine specific
cycle and offset with correction factors for room and environment noise correction. The measured value contains measuring uncertainty of +/- 4dB(A)
(accuracy grade 3) and applies for a single machine, measured separately.

5.2Function
5.2.1Functional description
The automatic lubrication system is a lubrication system for Güdel components. The FlexxPump feeds the lubricant from the cartridge into the lines.
Depending on the design, the lubricant is distributed through splitters, combined through Y-segments, or distributed directly to the lubrication area.
Rack and pinions are lubricated by lubricating pinions; guideways are lubricated by lubricating elements.
The FlexxPump outputs a signal in case of overpressure, if the cartridge is
empty and for each piston stroke. This makes it possible to process such information further.

Commissioning
72057594178931083_v7.0_EN-US
Fig.6-8Switching time diagram: Normal case
At the displayed signal on PIN 2, all four hydraulic outputs dispense 0.15 cm3 lubricant each. Start of the dispensing = output 1.1 or 1.2, then output 2.1 or 2.2. Each hydraulic output is filled with lubricant by its respective piston. Each piston carries out a lubrication stroke. Per lubrication stroke, 0.15 cm3 lubricant is pumped into the respective hydraulic output. The output signal on PIN 4 is High
(+20...30V) during normal operation. During an actual motor run of the FlexxPump, the signal switches to Low (+0V). Normally this takes between approx. 9 and 18 seconds, depending on the length
of the hydraulic hoses and the viscosity of the lubricant. Afterwards, the signal switches back to High (+24V).

6.4.7Lubrication recommendation
6.4.7.1General information
The running surfaces of guideways, racks as well as the drive pinions generally
need to be sufficiently lubricated. A precise recommendation on the lubrication quantity needed cannot be made, because that depends on various factors. The calculations listed here are based on empirical values and lead to
reference values. The lubrication quantity needs to be checked regularly and
needs to be adapted if necessary.
The following non-conclusive factors determine the sufficient lubrication
quantity:
• Kilometers traveled by the axle
• Degree of contamination of the axle
• Power-on time of the entire plant
• Ambient temperature
• Number of lubrication points
• Elements used in the lubrication system
Commissioning
72057594178931083_v7.0_EN-US
Check the guides and racks regularly to make sure there is sufficient lubrication. Perform lubrication work as soon as the first signs of tribocorrosion
(reddish discoloration of the track) are visible.
Güdel recommends to program the HMI user interface so that the operator
of the entire plant can adjust the lubrication quantity to the operating conditions. The operator is always responsible for adequate and properly functioning lubrication.
These recommendations are valid exclusively for systems that are connected
according to the Güdel standard. ÜChapter6.3.3,238

6.4.7.4Calculation formulas
Basically the emptying time of cartridge P1 needs to be determined. With
multiple axles per FlexxPump, the axle most traveled needs to be taken into
consideration for the calculation (on linear gantries, this is typically the Yaxis).
The following specifications of your application are needed:
• Average velocity of the axle (vm) in m/s
• Operation time (t) of the plant per day in hours
• Power-on time (POT) in %
The following values need to be calculated for P1:
