2.6 Stop Assembly (only Fully Synchronized System)

Installation errors have an effect on the function of the stop assembly!

 The detent assembly is pre-adjusted and does not have to be adjusted.

If a sensor does not react, you can test whether the sensor in question works at
all by taking a piece of metal and bringing it up close to the sensor.
If the sensor responds by placing the metal close to it, but does not when moved over
the stop detent, the installation position of the stop assembly must be checked.
To evaluate the function, the function of the status LEDs on the D303 I/O board must
be taken into consideration.
There are 4 status LEDs each for the longitudinal and transverse directions:
- Stop magnet active
- Sensor 1
- Sensor 2
- Sensor 3
The arrangement of the LEDs on the I/O board can be found in the current component
wiring diagram for the 3D.
You can use the SSW to check the function of the sensors and the LEDs. To do this,
open the menu: Test Tools > Stand Tests > Detent Check .
n Checking the Installation Position:

 Correct installation of the stop assembly can be found in the Replacement of Parts
document.

- Installation shims are located on the stop assembly that must be used for installa‐
tion to define the correct position of the assembly.

rect position.
-
After the check, loosen the nuts again so that the installation shims are moved back
by the spring.
Operation of the Stop Assembly

In order for the stop detents to be detectable by the stop assembly, the stop detents


must not lie directly next to one another.
The spacing from the center of one stop detent to the next center of a stop detent must
be at least 150mm.
