Series 642 Bend Fixtures Product Information 28 Safety Information
Know the causes of
unexpected actuator
motions
The high force and velocity capabilities of MTS actuators can be destructive and
dangerous (especially if actuator motion is unexpected). The most likely causes
of unexpected actuator response are operator error and equipment failure due to
damage or abuse (such as broken, cut, or crushed cables and hoses; shorted wires;
overstressed feedback devices; and damaged components within the servocontrol
loop). Eliminate any condition that could cause unexpected actuator motion.
Hazard Placard Placement
Hazard placards contain specific safety information and are affixed directly to the
system so they are plainly visible.
Each placard describes a system-related hazard. When possible, international
symbols (icons) are used to graphically indicate the type of hazard and the
placard label indicates its severity. In some instances, the placard may contain
text that describes the hazard, the potential result if the hazard is ignored, and
general instructions about how to avoid the hazard.
The following label is typically found on the bend fixture.
