Installation
3.1 Assembly Conditions
The winderGLIDE BKS.D.3 is defined as “partly completed machinery” according
to the Directives 2006/42/EC, article 2. In order to assure a proper
functionality of the parts and guarantee the essential health and safety
requirements of operators working with it, the following conditions for the
assembly of the winderGLIDE must be met:
Caution
The winderGLIDE BKS.D.3 may not be stressed over the specification limits
neither during assembly nor operation. In particular it may not be operated
outside the specified temperature range and protection class.
Caution
The attachment points for the winderGLIDE on the machine must be properly
designed.
Caution
For correct installation and operation, follow the electrical wiring diagram
and instructions in this manual (ref to Fig. 3 “Pin Assignment”) .
3.2 Mounting the winderGLIDE Type D.3
There are four mounting devices to assemble the winderGLIDE on the machine
frame
These mounting devices can be combined according to the table below to meet
the requirements of the application (see also Fig.2).
| Mounting devices | Joint at the static end | Joint at the moving end |
|---|---|---|
| Spherical rod end | ● | ● |
| Clevis | ● | ● |
| Hinge | ● | – |
| Flange | ● | – |
Caution
When tightening the rod end, you must secure the push rod against twisting
using a hexagon wrench, otherwise the thread of the push rod may be damaged!
The static part of the winderGLIDE must be mounted to the machine frame e.g by
means of the spherical rod end on the gearbox or the flange at the end of the
spindle housing. The moving rod end is mounted to the winding stand. The
BKS.D.3 was designed for horizontal mounting positions.

Functional Description
The FMS-winderGLIDE D.3 is a dedicated actuator for the use in unwind and
rewind stations.
The stepper motor equipped drive is powerful and simple in its application.
The used technology is clean. Specially when used in the food and
pharmaceutical packaging industry the FMS-winderGLIDE D.3 has huge advantages
compared to hydraulic drives. The FMS-winderGLIDE is designed around an
accurate spindle and ball screw which makes the devise very precise. The
easily accessible connector and its pacesaving design make the FMS-actuator
very suitable for upgrading existing installations.
