4.2.2. Linear Lubrication and Cleaning Process
The lubrication and cleaning process is outlined in the steps that follow. The linear bearings are greased with
Kluber Isoflex. Do not mix lubricants due to potential incompatibilities.
D A N G E R : To minimize the possibility of bodily injury or death, disconnect all electrical
power prior to performing any maintenance or making adjustments to the equipment.
Step 1: Remove power to the stage.
Step 2: Remove the tooling plate (refer to
).
Step 3: Clean any accumulated dust or debris from inside of the assembly.
Step 4: Use a lint-free cloth to remove any dirty or dried lubricant from the linear bearing guides. A swab
soaked in isopropyl alcohol can be used to remove stubborn debris.
Step 5: Apply a thin, continuous film of lubricant to the linear bearing guides (refer to
). A good
quality, natural bristle artist’s brush is an excellent applicator.
Step 6: Manually move the stage to the opposite end of travel to work the grease into the linear bearing
guides.
Step 7: Refasten the tooling plate.
Step 8: Restore power to the stage and drive the stage table back to its original position to redistribute
lubricants.
