magnetic, the metal signal triggers solid state relays
which in turn switch the line voltage to the output alarm
terminals. In addition, the Detector will activate the alarm
terminals for metal too heavy for the magnetic separator
to remove. Any metal larger than the preset oversize
limit will trigger the alarm regardless of its magnetic
properties. The Detector is influenced only by change.
Therefore, stationary structural members, metal belt
cords, symmetrical idlers and other objects which do not
represent a moving mass to the field are not detected.

Search Coil Assembly Size: 3.5" x 3.5" x 2"
Weight: 1.25 lbs.
The Search Coil Assembly includes receiver
and transmitter antennas, mounting frame and
interconnecting cables. Each assembly is custom
designed to suit its particular application. Please refer to
the Frame Assembly Diagram.

Receiver Coil
The receiver coil is typically located under the conveyed
material within 2" of the loaded conveyor belt.

Transmitter Coil
The transmitter coil is located opposite and parallel to
the receiver coil. The distance between the transmitter
and receiver (aperture) is typically 4" greater than the
maximum burden depth of the processed material.
Figure 3
Mounting Frame
The mounting frame supports the antennas on trough and
slider bed conveyors. Special designs are available to
accommodate other types of material handling systems.
The swing-away assembly, shown in Figure 3, protects
the transmitter from oversized conveyed materials.

Interconnecting Cables
Shielded cables connect the receiver and transmitter
to the Main Control Enclosure. 25' of cable between
the frame assembly and the control unit is supplied as
standard. Optimum performance is assured with cable
lengths of 25' or under. However, lengths of up to 100’
are acceptable where Detector sensitivity requirements
are minimal.

Clip Detector
(if applicable)
The clip detector consists of a compact sensor head
and mounting bracket. The clip detector senses the
proximity of repair clips as they pass over the sensor’s
head. Once the clips are detected, the Metal Detector is
desensitized, but not disabled. Any large piece of metal
riding on the clips will still trigger the Detector.

for the detector:
Choose a location for the detector so the material
handling system has ample time to react to tramp metal.
Locate the detector far enough in advance of the head
pulley so the belt can come to a stop before the metal
falls off the end of the belt. If a diverter is used, consider
the reaction time of the system and speed of the
conveyor belt.

Figure 5

Idler Roller Isolation
The magnetic field generated by the transmitter coil
induces eddy currents in nearby metal cross bracing,
stairways, handrails and pipes. These eddy currents
may cause false tripping if the current path intermittently
makes contact. Eddy current loops can be broken by
cutting the conductive paths in these structures. Use
non-metallic hardware as required to restore structural
support. If conveyor idlers are used in your application, the
idlers adjacent to the Search Coil Assembly may require
modification or isolation to break eddy current loops. Refer
to the Conveyor Idler Modification Diagram for details.
If the Search Coil Assembly is located where a metal skirt
passes through the coils, it must be replaced with a five-
foot section of non-metallic material (i.e., wood or plastic).
Remove metallic decking, skirt boards, cross bracing
and return idlers below and within 3' of the center line of
the receiver coil (upstream and downstream). Relocate
or tightly secure moving or vibrating pieces of metal such
as cables, conduit and piping within 36" of the Search
Coil Assembly.

(if applicable)
Refer to Control Connection and Frame Assembly
Diagrams. If there are idlers adjacent to the search coils,
position the Clip Detector Sensor approximately 1" to 3"
upstream of the nearest upstream idler before the Search
Coil Assembly. For slider bed type conveyors, position
the Clip Detector Sensor approximately (but no closer
than) 2' from the center line of the receiver coil on the
upstream side of the Search Coil Assembly. The flat face
of the Clip Detector should be facing toward the belt with
approximately 1/2" to 1" of clearance. This clearance
must be maintained in order to assure proper
operation. The Clip Detector should be a few inches from
the edge of the belt. Do not mount the Sensor too far
from the edge, as tramp metal lying close to the belt may
trigger the sensor and pass through the search coils as a
repair splice.
With the Clip Detector Sensor in the proper position
below the belt, weld the 3/4" support pipe (provided) to
the conveyor frame. The pipe may be cut to the proper
size for an easier fit. The multi-axis swivel joint will
provide adequate movement for proper adjustment.

replace the cover as described in the “General”
section. Return the controls to recorded settings.
7. Calibrate the “Clip Override” as described in
Section Start-up & Calibration section “Clip
Detector Calibration”.
As the repair splice passes through the sensing coils,
the magnetic properties of the clips override the signal
from any small sample of metal riding on the splice.
Consequently, the Detector is designed to trip if the
clip threshold is exceeded, regardless of the magnetic
properties of the detected metal. When properly
calibrated, it takes approximately 20% more metal signal
than is represented by the largest set of repair clips to Table 1
trigger the Detector during the desensitized mode. Clip Time Delay
(Switch S1)
Clip Detector Time Delay
If the clip detector is used, the length of belt desensitized
to permit the clips to pass can be adjusted by properly
programming the clip detector time delay switches S1-
5, 6 & 7. The locations of these switches are shown in
Figure 5. The range of delay times is from .28 seconds to
2.10 seconds as tabulated in Table 1. These switches are
set at the factory according to customer requirements and
should not be adjusted unless absolutely necessary. As
long as the Detector is desensitized, the clip timer, status
indicator No. 7, will remain lit.

Delay Before Alarm


The timed output alarm can be accurately programmed
with a time delay before turn on. This allows the
conveyed material to travel for a programmed period
before the timed output alarm signal is energized.
Typically this feature is used in conjunction with a
marking device or diverter gate to delay the system
until the detected tramp metal has reached the auxiliary
equipment. Switches S2-1 through S2-5 control this
time delay from .01 to 22.0 seconds. Refer to Table 2 for
tabulation of the delay time versus switch settings and
Figure 4 for the switch locations.

Addendum
Metal Activation Circuit for Model 1235
The odel 1235 has the ability to discriminate
between magnetic and non magnetic metals. When a
nonmagnetic metal is detected the Direct and Timed
Outputs are activated to send a signal to conveyor
control to stop the belt. Once the belt is stopped an
operator removes the nonmagnetic metal and starts the
conveyor once again.
If magnetic metal is passed between the antennas the
detector will show that the metal was sensed by the
detector but the outputs are not activated and the belt
is not stopped.
A high power electro magnet can remove the magnetic
metal from the belt but keeping the magnet at high
power is not recommended because the magnet will
get hot and as the temperature of the magnet increases
the magnetic pulling force is reduced. There is also an
increased cost of operating the magnet at high powered,
reduced life of the magnet and higher maintenance
costs. Also when conveying magnetic ore the magnet
can not be at high power because too much product
would be removed from the belt.
The Magnetic Activation Circuit was developed
addressed to problem of removing magnetic metal
without stopping the conveyor belt. When magnetic
metal is detected by the metal detector the signal is
sent to the MAC circuit. The magnetic metal signal is
then processed and the MAC output is activated using
a KRPA relay mounted on the white plate under the
Interface Module. The relay provides the output from
the metal detector to the electromagnet magnet control
circuitry. This can be 120vac, 220vac or any level of DC
voltage as long as the contact current of the relay is not
exceeded.
The magnet can be run at low idle current which keeps
the magnet cool allowing maximum flux energy when it
is switched to high current.
The MAC circuit board has one variable potentiometer
that controls how long the output is on. The on time
range can be set between 2.5 seconds and 15 seconds.
If J3 jumper is connected the on time range is reduced to
1.3 seconds to 7.5 second.

discrimination between tramp metal and the conveyed
material; product effect is non-existent or minimal.
Having detected metal by a waveform change, the signal
generated is amplified and filtered through several stages.
The signal is then compared to a set threshold determined
by the size of metal that must be detected. When the
signal exceeds this threshold, a metal signal is generated.
In the 1260, once this metal signal is generated a
secondary circuit is enabled which times the duration

2.8.3.1 Refer to Section 4.5 and 4.6 to set the desired timing for marking a predetermined
location.

2.8.3. The initial delay time that is set can be calculated using the belt speed and the distance
between the center of the receiver antenna and the flag drop marker flag or use a stop watch to
time a mark on the belt as it moves from the center of the receiver antenna to the flag drop
maker flag. This is the Delay Before ON time. The ON Time is preset at the factory to about
½ second. It is easier to adjust the timing of the flag marker with an empty belt. Use a
sample piece of tramp metal large enough to trigger the detector. With the belt up to full
speed place the tramp metal on the belt far enough before the metal detector antennas that the
metal has come to rest on the belt and is not moving relative to the belt. What should happen
is when the piece of metal reaches the flag drop area the first time is the flag will be just after
the piece of metal if it is shorten the Delay Time a few 10th of a second and try it again. The
flag should drop and hit the metal. The delay time for the flag will vary depending on the
distance it has to fall. On an empty belt the flag will have to travel farther before it hits the
metal than on a full belt. Because of the distance the flag has to travel between an empty belt
and a full belt will cause the flag to be either in front of the metal or behind the metal. So
when looking for metal look about 12” on either side of the flag if the metal is not visible and
is buried in the product.

Sampling
The Detector Sampling Mode is set at the factory to
make the Detector sensitivity selective between various
materials as required for each particular application.
Switches S1-1 through S1-4 inclusive are preset
and are not to be adjusted by the user.

Fine Frequency Setting


The Detector is calibrated to operate at an optimally
selected transmitting frequency when using a 50 or 60
Hz line frequency. This frequency can be fine-tuned over
a 5% range by adjusting potentiometer R7, shown in
Figure 16. However, this is not usually necessary as all
units are calibrated at the factory prior to shipment.
The operating frequency of the Detector can best be
measured at the zero gate test point “Z”, shown in
Figure 16. The signal switches between 0V and +15V as
referenced to 0V of the system (Test Point 0V). If viewed
on an oscilloscope, this signal would be high one pulse
width and low for seven.

Diagrams
NOTE
Before working with Troubleshooting Diagrams,
check all terminals, connectors and cables for open
circuits and correct as required.

To aid in troubleshooting the Detector, two easy to follow,


step-by-step, flow diagrams were designed. Troubleshooting
Flow Diagram #1 deals with insufficient metal sensitivity. This
diagram is used if the unit detects metal, but is not sensitive
enough for the required application or if the Detector does
not respond to metal at all.
Refer to Troubleshooting Flow Diagram #2, if the unit
continually false trips (triggers with no metal in the field).

Electronic Module
Troubleshooting
In the event that the unit does not operate and the
trouble has been traced to the Electronic Module, the
equipment may be sent back to the factory for repair.
If the plant can not operate with out a metal detector
for the time it takes to repair the equipment then a
replacement module may be obtained, either purchase
of a new module or a refurbished exchange module,
in either case the module can be shipped overnight,
minimizing down time.

Description
Suspended electromagnets are heavy duty DC
powered separators designed for use over a moving
bed of material from which iron is to be removed.
Basically, they are box‑shaped units with coils inside
to generate a powerful magnetic field.
There are two basic types available: oil‑cooled and air
cooled. Both of these types are available as Manual
or Self‑Cleaning units. Each type has two styles,
in‑line and cross‑belt, to accommodate installation
requirements. There is a wide range of sizes available
for each type and style. Figure 3
Typical air-cooled self-cleaning
Manual Cleaning magnets are designed for use where suspended electromagnet
small amounts of tramp iron are suspected. They can
be furnished with an adjustable cable sling designed
for a one‑point suspension or adjustable Jaw & Jaw
turnbuckles for four-point suspension.
With Manual Cleaning magnets it is necessary to
shut off the power periodically to discharge the
accumulated tramp iron. Manual Cleaning Units may
be installed over the head pulley or over the conveyor.
Self‑Cleaning magnets consist of a Manual Cleaning
unit with a short belt conveyor built around it to provide
automatic discharge of tramp iron. These magnets,
typically furnished with turnbuckles for four‑point
suspension, can also be used over the head pulley
or over the conveyor.

Installation
General
Use care in uncrating to avoid damage to the
equipment.
IMPORTANT: Check the area upstream,
downstream, on the sides and underneath the
magnet for carbon steel or other ferrous metals.
Specifically look for carbon steel conveyor belt
idlers, slider beds, side frames or any other Figure 5
metals in the area. All carbon steel or ferrous Manual cleaning position 1
metals within magnetic field of the magnet (up to
3-feet or possibly more for larger size magnets)
will become induced or “magnetized” and will
reduce the separation efficiency of the suspended
electromagnet.
For this reason, replace all carbon steel or other
ferrous metals with 304 or 316 stainless steel,
aluminum, plastic, wood or other non-magnetic
materials in the area of the magnet for the best
magnetic separation efficiency.
For Oil‑Cooled Models: Be sure the magnet is oriented Figure 6

Specified suspension height should be considered a
maximum and the magnet should be lowered as close
to the actual burden as possible. When lowering the
magnet to the burden, be sure that plowing of material
does not occur. If the unit is a Self--Cleaning magnet,
make sure that the separator belt has room to operate
and discharge tramp iron properly. A clearance of
3" (75 mm) between the magnet or belt and the top
of the burden is typical for Self‑Cleaning units; this
clearance can be reduced to 2" (50 mm) for Manual
Cleaning units.
BURDEN DEPTH
The best separator performance is achieved by
controlling the burden depth. A plow or leveler
Figure 7 positioned above the conveyor and before the
Manual cleaning position 2
magnet will help level high spots or surges in
Position 2 installations. For Position 1 installations,
the recommended installation location is calculated
on expected tonnage. Any variation from this rate
changes the trajectory of the burden with respect
to the working surface of the magnet and may result
in poor separation.
GUIDELINES FOR MAGNET INSTALLATION
Generally, sufficient application data is available
so that we can prepare an installation drawing to
show the magnet location that will provide optimum
tramp iron removal. However, for those instances
where there is not enough information to permit
preparation of a drawing, the guidelines that follow
Figure 8 should be helpful. Observing these guidelines will

Position the magnet so that it is centered over the
width of the conveyor and the face (bottom) is parallel
to the slope of the conveyor.
When a self‑cleaning magnet is installed over a
troughed conveyor belt, the magnet must be high
enough so that a piece of iron on the magnet belt will
clear the edge of the conveyor belt. However, caution
must be exercised so that the rated suspension height
of the magnet is not exceeded. See Figure 12.

Figure 10
Suspension Height Clearance

Note: The normal magnet angle with respect to a


horizontal plane will be in the range of 15‑25°. As belt
speeds increase, installation angles tend to decrease.
In cases where belt speeds are slower (usually 350 Figure 12

beside the Oil Fill Plug.

Oil Expansion Tanks are mounted with slotted


brackets allowing adjustment to the tank. Adjustments
are made to keep the relief valve in proper position.
Tanks can be factory adjusted if incline angle is
specified when ordering. Otherwise field adjustment
will be required.
Tanks are properly adjusted when the orientation
arrow is pointing straight down. When hanging a
magnet the tank is turned toward the magnet until
the arrow points down.

7. Proper adjustment for belt tension and tracking is

approximately 6" (150 mm) of take‑up available for
both belt stretch and tracking purposes. To track
the belt, the tail pulley should be moved in a
direction to tighten the belt on the side to which
the belt wanders.
The larger magnets have a four‑pulley design and
have two take-up adjustments. The bottom tail
pulley is initially used to take up the slack (adjust
both sides evenly). Tracking is achieved by
adjusting the small pulley located on the same
end so that the belt is tightened on the side to
which it wanders.
Belt is too loose
8. Once the belt has been trained, further adjustment
may be required to achieve proper tension.
Excess tension applied in an effort to keep the
belt flat against the face of the magnet can lead
to pulley, shaft or bearing failure. It is normal for
the belt to sag due to its own weight and this
becomes more prevalent on the larger units.
Efficient operation can be achieved without
applying excess tension so the belt should be 1" to 2"

tightened only enough to prevent slipping on the


pulleys when it is conveying iron off the face of the
magnet. Usually a sag of up to 3" (75 mm) is not
detrimental unless it interferes with material flow. Belt should have 1" to 2" gap at magnet corners.
See Figure 16. Larger magnets can have a belt sag in the center
up to 3" (76 mm)

General Description
Eriez Silicon Rectifiers have been especially
designed for use with various types of elec­tromagnetic
equipment. They are built to the highest electrical
standards and will give years of satisfaction and
trouble‑free operation when properly installed and
operated.
Powertrol Rectifiers feature convection cooling, a full
wave bridge circuit, double wound transformers and
14 gauge steel cabi­nets for wall mounting. A plainly
marked terminal strip is provided for AC line and DC
load connections. Good voltage regu­lation is inherent,
and rectifier output is unfil­tered with ripple being on
the order of 4%.

2.4 SISTEMA ELÉCTRICO

El sistema eléctrico está compuesto por:

• Un Tablero para conexión de motores TB2.


• Un Tablero de Traspaso TB1.
• Un Tablero de Fuerza y Control (TFC).
• Dos cajas de conexión de sensores (TB3-1 / TB3-2).

El tablero para conexión de motores TB2, alimenta eléctricamente los cuatro motores eléctricos del
carro de traslación y se conecta por medio de un cable de alimentación eléctrica, tipo plano, montado
sobre el sistema de electrificación Festoon, al Tablero de Traspaso TB1.

El Tablero de Traspaso TB1 debe ser conectado al Tablero de Fuerza y Control (TFC), físicamente
instalado, preferentemente, a un costado del Tablero Rectificador del Electroimán. El cableado de
interconexión eléctrica entre el Tablero TB1 y el Tablero TFC es alcance del cliente.

El Tablero de Fuerza y Control (TFC) contiene los circuitos de fuerza y control para la operación del
carro de traslación. Dicho Tablero de Fuerza y Control debe ser alimentado eléctricamente desde la
red del cliente. El cableado de fuerza (y opcionalmente el cableado de control) desde el punto de
alimentación dispuesto por el cliente y el Tablero TFC es alcance del cliente.

Las cajas de conexión de sensores (TB3-1 y TB3-2), conectan los sensores inductivos de posición al
Tablero de Traspaso TB1. El cableado de interconexión de señales eléctricas entre las cajas de
conexión de sensores y el Tablero TB1 es alcance del cliente. Ver plano eléctrico N° P-4785-E-08.

2.5 SISTEMA DE CONTROL

El sistema de control, asociado al carro de traslación del electroimán modelo SE 12067 MC-1, le
permite desplazarse entre dos posiciones, las cuales son:

- Posición de trabajo (o carga).


- Posición de descarga / mantenimiento.

Eléctricamente, se definen procedimientos internos de control en el Tablero TFC (lógica cableada),


para posicionar el carro en forma exacta y segura, en cada una de las posiciones definidas y descritas
anteriormente.
A continuación, se describen los principios de funcionamiento eléctricos y de control del carro.

a) OPERACIÓN SISTEMA DE CONTROL

Principio de funcionamiento eléctrico del carro:

Al realizar la acción de traslación, el carro se desplaza con un movimiento continuo y constante a una
velocidad de 3 m/min desde la posición de trabajo hasta la posición de descarga y viceversa.
Para lograr detenerse en las posiciones descritas, el carro debe encontrarse con los sensores
inductivos de posición, ubicados en la viga riel (Plano N° P4785-G-002), en las dos posiciones definidas
para el proyecto.
Al detectar la placa sensora, montada sobre los boguies del carro, los sensores inductivos de posición
cierran el control del circuito eléctrico, produciendo la detención del carro.

Los sensores inductivos de posición se denominan:

- ZSL (A y B) : para detener el carro del electroimán en la posición de TRABAJO.


- ZSH (A y B) : para detener el carro del electroimán en la posición de
DESCARGA/MANTENCIÓN.

Cabe destacar el hecho de que en ambas posiciones definidas (Trabajo y Descarga) se tienen dos
sensores inductivos de posición para entregar redundancia al sistema y prever la situación en caso de
que uno de los dos sensores falle, operará la detención del carro de traslación.

El sistema de control del carro cuenta con un botón de “Parada de Emergencia”, el cual se encuentra
dispuesto en la puerta del Tablero de Fuerza y Control. La función del botón de parada de emergencia
es la interrupción del trabajo del carro de traslación del electroimán, además de seguro eléctrico.

Para activar la parada de emergencia, solo hay que pulsar el botón, consiguiendo con esto, la
detención del carro; para restablecer las funciones del carro, se debe girar el botón, en el sentido que
indica la cubierta de este y volver a poner en operación el sistema de traslación.

b) SISTEMA DE SEGURIDAD

En el carro de traslación, los sistemas de seguridad están diseñados para proteger, tanto al operador,
como a los equipos (carro de traslación y electroimán).

Por otra parte, en las vigas riel, por donde se desplaza el carro de traslación, existen topes mecánicos
de carrera, posicionados en ambos extremos de carrera (son placas de acero, con goma, ubicados en
ambos extremos del riel), que trabajan en caso de fallar los dos sensores inductivos (ZSL (A y B) y
ZSH (A y B)). Lo anterior, para evitar el descarrilamiento del carro.

Como se mencionó con anterioridad, los sensores inductivos, se encuentran dispuestos para detener
el carro en las dos posiciones definidas (trabajo y descarga). Una vez detenido el carro en una de las
dos posiciones definidas, es necesario presionar el botón de parada de emergencia, para evitar que
alguna pulsación de los botones de partida del carro ocurra, de manera accidental o involuntaria. Para
mover el carro nuevamente, es necesario desbloquear el botón de parada de emergencia y accionar
el carro hasta la posición deseada.

La lógica de operación del electroimán SE 12067 MC-1, define las posiciones y desplazamientos del
carro de traslación, las que, para este caso, se establecen en dos posiciones de operación, que
eléctricamente se definen a través de los sensores de posición inductivos, instalados en una de las
vigas riel. Los sensores mencionados, permiten fijar los puntos de operación de trabajo y
descarga/mantenimiento.

A continuación, se describen en detalle las posiciones del equipo.

Posición TRABAJO

La posición de trabajo del carro de traslación se define posicionando el electroimán sobre la polea de
cabeza de la correa transportadora, el electroimán queda a una distancia predeterminada por el cliente.
La posición está definida y asegurada por los sensores inductivos (ZSL (A y B)). Para esto se debe ver
la disposición mecánica, plano N° P-4785-GA-D-001.

Posición DESCARGA

La frecuencia de descarga del electroimán es definida por el operario, de forma visual, dependiendo
de la carga de fierros que electroimán haya atrapado, determinando si su cara magnética (cara donde
son capturados los fierros) está saturada de material ferroso, o de acuerdo a un criterio definido por la
operación de la planta.

La secuencia para ambas posiciones es la siguiente:

a. El electroimán energizado es desplazado, desde su posición de trabajo, hasta llegar sobre el


cajón de recepción de chatarra (posición de descarga), por medio del movimiento del carro de
traslación.
b. Al llegar a la posición de descarga, se procede a desenergizar el electroimán, el tiempo suficiente
para que los materiales ferrosos capturados, se desprendan sobre el cajón de recepción de
chatarra.
c. El electroimán desenergizado es desplazado, desde su posición de descarga, hasta la posición
de trabajo, por medio del carro de traslación. Una vez que llega a la posición de trabajo, se
energiza para nuevamente entrar en operación de trabajo (captura de material ferroso) y repetir
el ciclo.
d. La posición de descarga del carro de traslación está determinada por la posición del electroimán
sobre el cajón de recepción de chatarra. La posición es definida y asegurada por los sensores
inductivos ZSH (A y B). Ver disposición mecánica, plano N° P-4785-GA-D-001.

4. MANTENIMIENTO E INSPECCIÓN

Para un óptimo, prolongado y eficiente trabajo del equipo, se hace necesario una periódica y rigurosa
mantención e inspección de carácter preventivo de los puntos que continuación se detallan:

4.1 COMPONENTES ELÉCTRICOS

Se recomienda cada 700 horas de trabajo de planta, efectuar una inspección y reapriete de todos los
puntos de conexión eléctrica:

• Contactos de las protecciones eléctricas.


• Contactos de contactores de mando y auxiliares junto con relés térmicos.
• Contactos de borneras, presente en los todos los tableros eléctricos.
• Idealmente, soplar con aire seco, el interior de los tableros eléctricos.

Para efectuar el reapriete de los terminales de conexión eléctrica, se deberán destapar los tableros
eléctricos:
- Tablero de Fuerza y Control
- Tablero TB2
- Tablero TB1
- Cajas de conexión de sensores (TB3-1 y TB3-2).

El procedimiento para el reapriete de los terminales, consiste en desenergizar el Tablero de Fuerza y


Control, mediante un bloqueo en el alimentador de dicho tablero. El segundo paso es asegurar la
ausencia de tensión en los bornes de alimentación eléctrica, mediante un multímetro digital. Como
tercer paso y final, se pueden abrir los tableros eléctricos y proceder a la inspección y posterior
reapriete de los terminales de conexión eléctrica.

4.2 COMPONENTES MECÁNICOS

Debido a que el equipo se encuentra en zonas polvorientas, es importante la correcta lubricación en


los rodamientos de las ruedas de los boguies, la cual no debe exceder las 700 horas de trabajo o una
mantención anual si no se cumpliese la cantidad de horas primero. Como el equipo trabaja a baja
velocidad de rotación y la mayor parte del tiempo se encuentra en posición estática, se recomienda
utilizar grasas fabricadas con aceites minerales o sintéticos como base, en lo posible, con aditivos que
aumenten sus propiedades anticorrosivas, de esta manera, se contribuye a la impermeabilización
contra los contaminantes, la humedad y el agua.

Para efectuar cambios de rodamientos u otra pieza, se debe (previo desmontaje del electroimán y
posterior retiro del carro de traslación de las vigas riel) seguir los siguientes pasos:

I) Condiciones de montaje estructural en vigas riel

Las siguientes actividades están destinadas a orientar el proceso de instalación de los rieles
por donde se desplaza el carro de traslación para electroimán. Estas deben contar con la
asistencia de un topógrafo para garantizar su correcto montaje y posterior puesta en marcha.

a) Paralelismo vigas riel

Para el montaje de las vigas riel se debe verificar las distancias entre los puntos A1-B1, A2-B2,
A3-B3. La distancia entre ellos corresponde a 1300 mm, (según plano P-4785-GA-D-01), y la
tolerancia no debe ser mayor a 3 milímetros absolutos.

Figura N°6.- Verificación de Montaje.

b) Nivel vigas riel

Para el correcto funcionamiento del carro de traslación, es fundamental que la base de montaje
posea un desnivel entre caras (nivel C1 y C2) no mayor a 3 milímetros.

Figura N°7.- Alineación de Nivel Base.

c) Verticalidad

Es importante considerar también el paralelismo entre ejes perpendiculares de las vigas riel, o
verticalidad de la viga riel. Para tal efecto se considera un ángulo de rotación máximo de 0.4°,
en dirección al exterior nunca en el otro sentido.
