SITE EVALUATION

The SLIDEAIR can be installed either as a free standing unit or

mounted to a machine structure in a machining, welding or

other type of environment:

Please verify before starting installation:1. Alternate dimensions in brackets are in [millimeters].

2. If optional vertical support posts are not being used, how

will the SLIDEAIR assembly be mounted to the

workstation?

3. If anchoring to the floor is there anything buried in the

floor where the anchors go?

4. Does the installation allow adequate clearance for robotic

machining, welding or other types of operation?

5. Can electrical power to the workstation be shut off without

interfering with other plant operations?

6. Is there an air supply connection run to the installation

site?

PARTS INVENTORY

1. Remove all assemblies and parts from the

shipping container.

2. Arrange parts on the floor using the exploded view as a

guide, see Page 11.

3. Check to insure all parts are included. Call Technical

Support if you have any questions.

HEADER ASSEMBLY

The header assembly includes the aluminum extrusion

structure, rodless cylinder, curtain trolleys, limit switches, and air

hose. The cylinder pulls the curtain open or closed across the

opening when air is supplied.

CURTAIN

The standard curtain is made of either opaque or translucent

material. Standard 8” [203] pleats allow the curtain to fold back

to a compact profile when not needed.

VERTICAL SUPPORTS (OPTIONAL)

The vertical supports are rugged 3” [76] square tubing.

Brackets allow easy assembly of the cylinder assembly to the

vertical supports.

Dual vertical supports will be mounted on 8” [203] square

plates.

A single pedestal support (A) will be mounted on 16” [406]

square plates to compensate for the hanging load.

SINGLE PEDESTAL MOUNT

1. The installation for the dual support posts can be used for

the single pedestal mount, Figure 3.1.2. Attach the support arm (B) to the pedestal and the header

for support.

JUNCTION BOX ASSEMBLY (OPTIONAL)

The Junction box assembly includes a four way air control

valve, and the necessary terminal blocks to easily incorporate

an output signal from the existing machine controller. The four

way valve is available as 24 VDC or 110 VAC.

CONTROL BOX ASSEMBLY (OPTIONAL)

The control box assembly includes a four way air control valve,

open, close and stop push buttons, and (2) 24 VDC relays. This

control box allows the SLIDEAIR to be opened or closed by

momentarily pushing a button, or from a 24 VDC output signal

from a machine controller. This box requires use of a 110 VAC

air valve.
